Ganymede

A handsome, young Trojan prince who was carried off to heaven by Zeus, to be the god's lover and cup-bearer of the gods. RP account. 18+ only

  Persephone tilted her head as she watched the boy, herself leaning against a pillar on the outer courts. She was in her younger form today, innocent and childish. The petite goddess couldn’t help but call out to the cupbearer. “Thinking about drinking it?” She asked from her place, curious as always.

Almost startling him, Ganymede glanced over at the small girl with a whip of his neck. "What?" He asked almost automatically, then corrected himself "I'm sorry?" For a brief moment he blinked, knowing instead of rephrasing his question he should have just answered - it wasn't as though he hadn't heard her but reflex pressed him to ask for some sort of repetition. "No, I'm sorry. I was just looking at the design on the bottle." He lied, it was a white lie but she wouldn't know that, he hoped.

▪ ☲ ▪     She was surprised, most treated her badly on the spot. Even if she was higher then they were, she rarely got respect and wasn’t sure what to do with it. “If it would not bother you—could you get me a glass of water?”

[takentoserve]

"Of course, it's not a problem." Not able to help back a bit of a smile at her modest request, Ganymede took a step back and then excused himself with a single nod. Retrieving her a fresh glass of crisp water, he returned and handed it to her as gently as he could. "I wasn't sure if you liked it luke-warm or cold, I apologize for not asking but I got it cold." The brunet scrapped his teeth over his lower-lip hoping that little detail wasn't some sort of inconvenience.

        “I don’t think Zeus would like to explore, or Poseidon to get out of his pool… Perhaps some of them think they are too… From royalty to do such thing, and would look ridiculous. I have no idea.” He shrugged. “Well, what if in that case you come to me? Tell the king I needed you and once there, I will invite you out. Have some food, let you explore the world with me. It can be fun, I promise. And I won’t force you to do something you don’t want to, but remember, sometimes you just need a little push to do awesome things.” He licked his own lips. “Because living life by listening to other god’s life is not life. It’s boring and it only fills you with regret, envy and anger.”

[takentoserve]

He listened to Phanes with clear interest. Leaning in closer as though it would improve his ability to take it all in, Ganymede smiled as he looked upon the older god. "That would be very nice. I think it can work. I think he will try to come in contact with you just to verify, but I think he will let me go." If he wasn't too attached to having him around. But he doubted it, Zeus was, as of lately, occupying himself with other women and other beings, one serving boy wasn't going to go noticed.

The boy sneered upon hearing Zeus’ name. “Oh, him.” He crossed his arms and huffed loudly. He didn’t care much for what he was or his achievements, he simply did not care for the Olympian. “That sounds just like him, taking what he likes when he wants to.” He sighed and looked to the other with a soft expression. “I hope that has been treating you well. Has he?”

[takentoserve]

Seeing the amount of disdain the boy had for Zeus surprised him, but he didn't say anything about it nor told him not to. At least, he was someone he could relate to in that respect. At the question, Ganymede shrugged and smiled almost meekly. "Yes, he hasn't been treating me badly." Ganymede didn't enjoy going from prince to servant but he thought there was a time and place to talk about that, and complaining about it to someone he had just met wasn't fine. "How about you? He hasn't treated you well?" Ganymede tilted his head.

        At his comment, Eros scoffed. “I’m sure Hebe looks way younger than me. But I guess I won’t get old because of what I represent. Of what I am. Power, love, lust, desire, those things never get old.” He shrugged. “They get cranky and bitter because they keep spending time with the same people, in the same place. I move, I explore, I try new things and I have fun, with mortals, in a mortal way. It’s not that hard, but they would never do that, they don’t like mortals, and it’s fine, better for me. More for me.” He smiled. “Why don’t you tell me how is that you keep being nice after all this time?”

Ganymede listened to Phanes and nodded with a light hum. "Then I suppose they create boundaries for themselves that you just don't have." He imagined living like that could be stifling and Eros allowed himself some freedom. Ganymede wasn't exactly sure if he was nice or just polite, and he always counted them as two different things - considering he thought 'nice' people didn't think bad thoughts of others. But he did, even when he served them. "I try to remember why I am here and consider that I am not the only one with misfortunes in this world, and if I could have someone nice to me even for a moment when I am having a bad day, then it would change my mood. So, I try to ... talk to people being aware that I don't know what their day was like and being that person, to make it better."

"His Highness? You work for a king?" He pursed his lips and peered into the cups before looking back up to the other male. "That sounds really dangerous." He then began to rock on his heals, unable to stand still (as usual). "Mm, how did you become immortal? Are you a hero?"

[takentoserve]

"Mhm." Ganymede nodded, "I work for the lord of the skies, Zeus." Admittedly, he didn't like to toss those sorts of labels on the god-king. He wasn't Ganymede's favorite person but he was a king and he did deserve respect. Watching the young male move, the god wondered if he needed to leave. "No, I'm afraid I'm not a hero." Typically, he would have slipped his hand into his hair but both were occupied. "His highness enjoyed my company so much he turned me into a god." Ganymede didn't really feel going into the exact details of what happened like being kidnapped and so forth were appropriate to strike up in conversation so he stuck to a very general explanation of what happened. 

[hxlting]

He furrowed his brows at the comparison. “You’re on the right track they are both weapons and often used for hunting.” The fire god scratched the top of his head and immediately took out a piece of paper and a bit of charcoal to draw a picture. “I’m no artist but it looks like this.”

[takentoserve]

"I went hunting!" He jumped at the opportunity to share then simmered down curiously when he saw the other had begun to draw. Even if Hephaestus wasn't an expert, as a novice, Ganymede still praised the art. "Oh, interesting. That looks strange but interesting. I like your drawing." He examined the drawing a little more.  

[ofaltruxsm]

Mel frowned, but didn’t question him on the odd answer. “Not really.” She shrugged, not minding the strangers presence all that much. “You’re not from around here, obviously… Small town, everybody knows everybody.” She observed aloud. “I’m Melinda, and you are?”

[takentoserve]

He shook his head, "I'm not. I was dropped off by a client and told to retrieve something for him." He twisted his mouth then smiled as he walked on beside her. "Ganymede." He listened to her name and blinked at the sound of it the name sounded almost like a word he knew for honeysuckle, it clearly wasn't but he still mused on her name. "That's a pretty name, where are you from?" He hadn't spent too much time on the human realm, so the concept of name diversity and human diversity beyond Greece, Egypt and the few surrounding areas was still beyond his grasp. 

[oizysdaimona]

▪ ☲ ▪     ”Oh thank you but I don’t think he’d like if you tried to serve me dear.” Oizys didn’t want to get anyone in trouble, especially a servant of his. “I would rather you not get in trouble. Ganymede, right?”

[takentoserve]

He glanced at her, actually a bit surprised by her response. Typically, his teachings had told him not to question those that were possibly higher ranked than himself but since she didn't think it was proper for her to be served, he teetered on that. "Yes, madame " He wanted to be respectful towards her even if the king might not approve. "I can still get you something, just out of personal courtesy - if you'd like?"

She wasn’t actually sure how long they would be there. “Maybe until I get everything we need?” Peitho was a rather picky shopper, and spent a long time in one place. Central park alone might take her a whole day but even with the performances she might want to see them all, “Maybe longer than a month or two. We’ll play it by ear. Usually when I stay there with my husband, we spend at least three years. I like to get a whole series of concerts under my belt…so.” She was still doing the math. ” A long while, are you alright with that? We’ll get a floor for us and get you new things to wear and see all the modern luxuries like their museums and their sparkly tree for Christmas.”

[takentoserve]

"Sparkly tree?" That was one of the last things to call Ganymede's attention apart from the three year thing. "We will be there for three years?" The young god looked at her rather surprised, He had been at Olympus for more than four centuries but he still perceived time like a mortal. It felt like ages.

Vic watched carefully as Ganymede checked over each and every cup he had and the contents inside. “What is it? Is it ambrosia?” Ambrosia was the only drink that he think of that applied to those who were immortal. “Ah, I am. Are you as well?” he asked, tilting his head to the side.

[takentoserve]

"Ah, no. I don't think so. His highness didn't exactly tell me what it was just that it was something completely toxic to mortals. Like acid." He twisted his mouth and then glanced up, nodding. "I am, well, I didn't used to be - but now I am." He continued nodding then stretched his lips into a smile.

                              Achilles smiles; he means it when he say he’d done                               anything, and this? This doesn’t seem like anything                               he can’t handle. It was his fault anyone, he’s got to do                               something make it better.

Ganymede nodded to him then took a step forward toward the kitchen signaling to the other that it was time to start following him. "I don't think I met you before." The former prince spoke almost quietly, his tone was measure low enough so he knew no one would eavesdrop on their conversation. "Ganymede. I'm Ganymede." He smiled, even if he was ahead of the other and he wouldn't be able to even see it.

        He listened quietly, and quickly, something came to his mind. He was going to request for the boy, to bring him out to the world, give him things he has never had, let him explore the world. He was sure the boy would have a great time. Besides, the boy seemed a nice one, he was sure the wouldn’t have any problem, not even with Zeus. Zeus respected Phanes, and not only that, if there was any problem, Eros could easily use his powers to manipulate the actual king’s decision. “Tell me, what can I do for you?” Eros smiled.

[takentoserve]

It had been a long time since he heard the question directed at him Ganymede couldn't help but feel his cheeks flush as he continued on with his question. "Mm How do you stay content through all these years, centuries? Everyone always seems so angry and bitter. I thought it was because they live forever and do the same all the time. But you're really different, your grace. You look a lot younger than everyone and even if you seem much more content."

"Oh no, you didn’t!" The boy smiled kindly towards the other. "There’s no need to be worried, really."

[takentoserve]

Relieved by his words, Ganymede stood up straight and observed all the small cups on the silver tray he had, looking at them fondly before letting his attention move back up to the young man before him, the cupbearer smiled back. "I'm glad, I don't think this drink is good for those that aren't immortal." He thought for a moment, "Are you immortal?" He couldn't really tell with these sort of things. Everyone seemed the same to him for the most part.
