Icarus in a nut shell

[sandersgrey]

Icarus, frustrated by the lack of recognition Narcissus gets: we need to stop sleeping on him!!

Marianne: but he likes to cuddle

[sandersgrey]

First Icarus when he met Apollo: *laughs*

First Icarus: youre stupid. i like that in a man

[sandersgrey]

Narcissus: fuck Apollo

Icarus: i did. thats the problem

Icarus measured her down with a look. No matter what else he was, he knew how to recognize a reincarnate.

"Who were you?"

The little girl lifted her head with stubborn pride. "Arthur."

"Huh. Is this you coming back? I'm afraid to say this isn't England."

"I know", she said. "I already came back for the War before."

"Which war?"

"All of them."

Icarus grimaced. "I'm sorry. It sounds like a lot."

"It is."

"Well, I suppose you don't want to get lost in a magic forest. Want a ride? I promise I won't hurt you."

"You're assuming you could", she scoffed, but raised her arms.

She was ten years old, a little older than when most people stopped picking up children, but Icarus was used to babysitting Clara and was therefore able to hold her on his hip without much problem. It was strange, he thought, how holding a child made things seem that much better sometimes.

And there was no doubt she was a child, despite the years of memories she had. You could have the memories of a hundred years and all you would have would be the memory of being an adult. In the end, your brain is still wired as a child's. It has to grow on its own time.

He adjusted her weight on his hip, and kept walking.

Icarus, to Narcissus: you're very salty

Icarus, climbing into his lap: fortunately i like salty things

[sandersgrey]

Narcissus: I can assure you that in 20 years I'll be Icarus' second husband

Button: what happened to the first?

Narcissus: nothing you can prove.

Marco: *discreetly steps back*

[sandersgrey]

Hermes, probably: on GOD we gonna get you some dick bro

First Icarus: on god, you say?
