you know we talk a lot about how God didn’t have to come rescue us but even given that, you know what else he didn’t have to do? Give us PARTIES and FAMILIES and the breath and depth of his incredible church but also WINE and SCALLOPED POTATOES and MUSIC and CANDLES and a family of faith that writes stuff down and has cool ideas that we get to keep having for thousands of years! I’m having the same party my whole family has been having for two millennium! We will keep having it! Christos Anesti! He is risen from the dead trampling over death by death it is time to have a PARTY. To ransom a slave he gave up his son!! Oh happy fault that earned so great and glorious a redeemer!!

Odysseus cooed at telemachus as he reached up at him from his sling. He, telemachus, Laertes and ctimene had gone out to the market to buy some stuff to make lunch . Just a quick midday run or so they thought.

They passed a group of young men hanging in the shaded shadow from a tree in an alley.

"Hey papa, how much flour did you want again?"

"Around 2-"

"Yeah, damn that spartan bitch of a queen" the statement came from the group of men in the shade.

Odysseus scowled and shared a glance with Ctimene and Laertes who both looked equally pissed . He took off telemachus's sling and passed him to Ctimene.

"Mene, hold my baby"

"Kick his ass bro, I got yo baby"

He then took off his earrings, rings, headband, armlets, bangles, kicked off his anklet and left them in the dust.

Before he could say another word, odysseus punched the speaker straight in the jaw. Another one tried to tackle him but odysseus grabbed and threw him onto the floor.

As the fight continued, ctimene raised telemachus so he could watch.

"Look baby, your papa's being a badass"

"Hehe, that's my boy." Laertes smirked, proud of how his boy always defended his wife's honour.

Telemachus clapped and giggled like a little cheerleader.

An idea popped into ctimene's head.

"Papa, I'll be back"

"But your going to miss i- and she's gone"

----

2 minutes later and the tools of her mischief was all set up. A jar of honey, rope (both of which she had hurriedly bought for cheap) and a rock she found. She tied telemachus' sling to her neck to be hands free, cut the rope in half with her knife, used one end to to hang the jar from a nearby roof and the other she left inside the jar, laid it across the path of the dead-ended alley and held it taut with the rock. Laertes seemed to realise what she was doing and pretended not to see.

2 of the youths were missing teeth by the time one of them noticed the the royal family's insignia on his signet ring. All of them bowed realising they had been fighting the king.

Odysseus just looked annoyed.

"Why did it take knowing I was the king for you to not disrespect your queen?"

Silence followed.

"You may not agree with how she rules, you don't have to. But to simply dismiss her on the basis of her origins isn't . Criticise her if you want but do so on more solid ground beyond not liking where she is from. Understood?"

The youths all muttered apologies and affirmations.

"Good then, go"

"Huh?" They looked confused

"You heard me. Go." Odysseus smiled sweetly.

They all got up and ran away

right across the rope which they tripped on, pulling the jar down and dowsing them in honey.

They kept running.

Odysseus and ctimene looked at each other and immediately began laughing.

For all he lectured both of them on not causing mischief as children, Laertes chuckled. He had to admit that this was an excellent time for it. He was so proud of both of his ducklings. He should get them something.

Odysseus sat down as his giggled lessened, put his jewellery back on and reached out his arms, doing grabby hands.

" Gimme my baby, mene. I want my baby."

Ctimene passed back the sling and Odysseus tied it around his neck.

"So you and auntie got up to some mischief hmm?hmm?" Odysseus baby-talked while rubbing their noses together and kissing his cheek.

"Hmhm, he was an excellent partner in crime, better than you were actually"

" excuse me?, I was an fantastic partner in crime. Beside, I doubt he actually did anything"

"Exactly, he didn't get in the way"

Odysseus gasped dramatically and whispered "betrayal"

"Yes and as interesting as that betrayal might be to unpack, don't we have a job to do? " Laertes interjected."

Odysseus cleared his throat"right yeah papa. Let's go mene."

They went to join him.

They had just bought some dried fruit from a stall when "ody, where's papa?"

Odysseus looked around realising their father had wandered off.

"I don't know. He was here just a minute ago"

They were gonna start looking when,

"Psst, kids come here"

Their father was in the shade, holding some type of wrapped something and beckoning them forth.

They came near when he unfolded the wrapping revealing 6 pristine loukoumades, their favourites. Their eyes lit up.

"Don't tell Eumaeus or your mother. These are just for you. For defending penelope."

Laertes sniffed.

"I raised you both so well."
