And boy did Neoptolemus sense him from afar, as if a brick took him to the back of his head when he wasn't looking. Ever since their first meeting weeks ago, he'd been acutely aware of any particularly Greek presence, but above all, his father's stood out the most. Most of the time he encountered static, particularly when most of his time was spent in school, but now he could pick up Achilles loud and clear.
There was no smile on the teenager's face as he approached the other man, eyes locked on that familiar face, hands still deep in his pockets. A better son might have been more happy to see his father, but Neoptolemus wasn't one for joy in any shape or form, especially not for daddy dearest. He came to a stop not five feet away, expression one smirk away from being smug.
"Father," he greeted, tone not unfriendly, but not necessarily inviting either.
