Unfortunately for Helenus, the son of Achilles had a way of demanding attention.
In an instant he lunged, knocking the controller out of Helenus's hand and deftly pinning the other man to the couch in such a way that he was forced to look at Neoptolemus.
"What happened?" Neoptolemus demanded. He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what or why. He couldn't just look at people and know what was wrong with them, it was only by virtue of Helenus being one of (if not the) closest person in Neoptolemus's heart that he was able to see that there was something wrong on an emotional level with him.
