“...please don’t tie people up.”

he’s currently struggling to break free.

[chthonickeys]

he’s forced to partecipate specifically because, i mean. He Lives There.

He can’t help but let out a small chuckle at that. Sure, why not. At least he could excuse that break and pretend it was nothing but exercise, this time.

“Funny, I was just about to tell you the same.” Achilles smiles, seemingly as calm as he could be. “Besides, I want to be sure you can deal with the other Shades around Elysium... and that you didn’t get too relaxed, around here.

After you, Patroclus.”

@caustixsoul​: « this may sound strange, but… have i somehow changed? » from zag to achilles

“Hm... an interesting question, lad.”

Why, yes. He saw a change in the young prince in the past few days. He saw him growing up, getting a little more mature, a little more openly selfless towards the fellow residents of the House. Maybe, a little more respectful for the Shades forced to work under his father, too, or ready to take the chance of doing something for the good of other,s too.

...but what kind of teacher would he be, if he spelled it out for him?    No, no. He’d much rather remain vague, see what Zagreus has to say about it.

“Do you feel like you changed in some way?”

[chthonickeys]

Oh no.             Oh no no no no no--

@caustixsoul​: ₪ Achilles :3 [ no lies ; ACCEPTING ]

₪ -  For a kink.

He takes a second to clear his throat, chuckling a little nervously.    Or, perhaps, he’s just a little embarassed?

“I don’t mind a little bit of competitiveness, before doing anything. A little bit of wrestling to sweat a little.”              Or decide who tops.

@ichorflame​: ❝ Consider it added to the top of their list and marked URGENT. I will see to it myself if I must. ❞

“I shall look for gemstones myself, if necessary.”

[chthonickeys]

“...indeed, we should ask the Contractor to make some more locks.”

[chthonickeys]

[ achilles but he’s like oh haha i didnt play arm wrestling in a while :) and he’s super nice and sweet but then he disintegrates your arm because gods damint the competitiveness reappears immediately ]

[chthonickeys]

[i like to imagine Achilles being incredibly upset upon his death. Like the anger that brought him back on the battlefield and accompanied him during his battle with Hector couldn’t fade even as he was struck down.

He died grieving and enraged, and with grief and rage he arrived in the Hades.

The Gods tried to talk it out with Hades to bring him up in the Olympus at some point, but Achilles himself refused. He felt betrayed by each one of them, and even as he was riding Charon’s boat he was shaking. 

I’m not saying he destroyed part of Elysium and made his way from up there to the House of Hades by himself at some point, but uh. Y’know.]

anon: Achilles, do you regret not doing something in life before you died?

“...no. Not really.

If anything... there’s plenty I regret doing.”

[chthonickeys]

He thinks that... maybe the residents of the House should calm down. As awkward as it could be, they have the rights to celebrate their reunion.

...this said, this is a good day to spend drinking away from his usual spot. Perhaps he will pay Patroclus a visit too. Who knows.
