you'll  have  to  take  the  boys  to  their  dentist  appointment  tomorrow.   i  have  something  going  on.   

pythions

we  aren't  together  anymore.  it's  not  my  job  to  memorize  the  names  of  who  you  fraternize  with.   i've  been  the  one  raising  these  boys  for  the  most  part.  i'm  allowed  to be  worried.

and  that  one  time  had  me  stuck  on  hold  with  their dentist  with  two  hours!   you  need to  be  there.   on  time.   have  that  boyfriend  of  yours  drive  you  or  something.   i  trust  him  to  get  to  me  on  time.

i  mean  it  this  time!   —   you  really  have  to  be  there.   neo  wants  to  see  you  at  his  game.   show  up. 

pythions

no,   you're  just  making  it  so  that  most  of  our  communication  goes  through  your  mother.   i'm  not  going  to  keep  saving  you  a  seat.

            it’s  not  more  important  to  me  but  it’s  my  job!  do  you  think  I  like  missing  their  stuff?  it’s  not  like  I’m  making  it  a point  to  never  see  them.

do  i  know  that?    be  real  here.   how  many  times  am  i  going  to  have  to  tell  these  boys  their  dad  can't  come  to  these  games  because  what  ever  work  he's  doing  is  more  important.   look,  neo  adores  you,  but  you  have  to  figure  this  out.

surely  the  great  achilles  also  knows  when  to  be  silent,   mm?    now,    put  your   palm  ...    here. 

pythions

i  see  we  must  also  have  a  lesson  on  /patience/.    dearest  one,   be  silent  for  just  a  moment.    (      and  so  she  would  hold  the  demigod's  palm  to  the  fabric  draped  at  her  abdomen,   a  smile  to  her  lips.      )     i've  not  told  my  father,   nor  have  i  told  my  sisters...     oh,   how  the  gods  have  blessed  us.

oh,   don't  be  so  avoidant  of  me,   pyrrha.   come  join  me  for  a  swim.

pythions

surely  i  cannot  swim  alone?    how  dangerous  that  would  be.    won't  my  dearest  pyrrha  join  me?

the  call  of  war  is  not  all  that  whispers  into  your  ear.   have  you  not  established  a  life  here  with  me?   i  need  you  here,   dearest.   is  there  no  room  to  change  your  mind?   to  sway  you?

i  am  sure  my  heart  would  scatter  amongst  the  seas  the  moment  you  board  that  boat.   this  is  not  your  war.     would  you  not  rather  stay  here....    stay  with  /me/?
