mythopoeics

( Duty was too valuable to throw away, to ignore. )

As lovely as the hospitality has been, it's wretchedly hot in Mictlan. I don't know how these people can bear to keep their clothes on.

If it were my kingdom, I should mandate that all the men wear loin cloths (stylish loin cloths, mind you).

For my own personal use, I've been inspired to design trousers with a lower cut and frock coats without sleeves. I should like to make more if anyone has an interest in keeping cool~

[Castor was not his most important child not when Pasithea was far too ahead of him to ever obtain that title. But he was still his property, a piece of himself and it went right down to the marrow that someone had done this to his blood. Every inch of him wanted to tear into the bastard but what leads did they have at all?

And Minos refused to believe his son just fell, as one maid had suggested earlier to another, believing the conversation to be private. Little else would be suggested from her now, not when she had a broken jaw to consider. Despite his lack of achievements, he knew his son would not just have fallen from roof. Perhaps that was just arrogance because total faith in his children was something near non-existent but it was something.

At least Pollux was suffering, he decided. And suffering would surely lead to a growth he might even acknowledge.]

When possible, speak to me about what is going on. I need some fucking good news.

Do not let my grandchildren out of your sight. Not for a second. I don't know what this is but I will not risk them.

[He didn't think he could stay and watch her marry his king. No. No, he couldn't. Not even if Morgan was at his side as reassurance. Not even if he was drunk. Not even if he closed his eyes. He had to get away as soon as possible. At least long enough to be sure when he returned that no one would be talking about the bloody affair.]

I can't stand you

If you don't mind, I'd appreciate some time off after the weddings are over with, perhaps even the day of. I'd like to travel to Ilium to see my family.

Personal reasons.

Who is the bigger fool? The one who couldn't fight for a good thing and let herself get roped into some political marriage or the one who has said nothing while knowing they can't stand the idea of marriage between his ex and your brother?

I've spoken to Skadi on the matter of moles in Svarga. I've informed her we are fond of her, her Glasthein blood important to us and that she still matters. She didn't like the idea of our planting a mole but...ah. I'll copy what she said:

"With me leading this. I choose the mole, reports will be sent to both regions, unaltered and identical. You trust me not to withold information."

I find this acceptable. If we are to be trusted, we must give trust. Whether or not we personally like this doesn't matter. It will develop into a strong bond in the long run, deepening the relationship between the two regions until we have less trouble with them. Skadi, unlike a full-blooded Svargan, would be a good place to start with bonds like this in Svarga as well. We can branch out from her later to others.

I realize your goal is to find the killer but we must also look ahead toward Glastheim's future and not just its past.

Consider it and let me know soon.

They have approved.
