         “DOESN’T THAT GET TIRING?” 

It was one thing that the gods did not seem to understand of humans, much to his frustration. The gods were unchanging, or at least believed themselves to be, whereas humanity embraced change as an integral part of their existence. 

Perhaps that was why immortality felt like such a curse to him.

HE HAD TO FIGHT THE URGE TO ROLL HIS EYES. She seemed so genuine, as she spoke, and yet the words brought nothing but irritation and frustration. He’d lost far too much. And maybe it was true, there were things he did not appreciate before they were gone. But that did not make the loss any easier to bear.

Eyes look up at the other, confused, drawing the coat nearer despite the warmer weather. There was a reason she didn’t talk to others if she could help it. Eurydice often didn’t like the words that others had to say. Especially when they were right. 

“ … I’ll give him this. He knows me better than I know myself, the one that I am searching for me in. It’s like he can see through me. “ The bit of opening up is done as she raises her glass up to her lip. She’d need a lot to open up fully. And something stronger. “ You looked for yourself in someone? “ She instead ponders, curious eyes looking up at him. “ If you don’t mind me askin’?” 

ICARUS HAD THOUGHT THAT APOLLO HAD KNOWN HIM, too. But maybe he’d only been good at showing him what he wanted to see. It didn’t matter now. Apollo continued to live the high life, while Icarus relied upon Persephone’s charity just to be able to afford a drink-- or two, or three. 

          “... I did. And it was a mistake.”

THE OTHER BOY GAVE HIM FAR TOO MUCH CREDIT for what he knew. Icarus didn’t bother to pay attention to such things-- why should he care about one warrior out of many, when he had seen so many. 

         “Maybe I’m wrong. If I am, feel free to            come back and tell me so. But if I’m            not... you’ll remember my warning.”

HE TOOK NOTICE OF THE TENSE, of course. Icarus had plenty of was and had been’s in his vocabulary as well. Those cursed to live forever had to grow accustomed to seeing things change around them and for them. 

It always left a bitter taste in his mouth.

         “I just meant that I understand the feeling.            Didn’t mean to overstep.” 

Not that Icarus often made a habit of being polite to the gods, but he knew where his limits were. He was not mortal, but he was not a god either, and his long life had made him less foolish than he’d once been.

HAD ANYONE, REALLY? Icarus felt he learned new things about himself more often than he would like-- most of the time they weren’t good things.

 HE  KNOWS  OF  ICARUS’  TALE ,  some  of  it .  rumours  fly  fast ,  even  amongst  mortals .  but  it’s  different  this  time ,  patroclus  believes  that ,  achilles  is  no  god ;  he  is  a  boy  still ,  flesh  he  held  close  to  him ,  blood  they  mingled  together ,  after  years  up  in  chiron’s  cave .  he  won’t  meet  this  end . 

                    “     –      if  i  have  to  lay  my  life  down  for  him ,  so                      be  it .  he  would  do  the  same .  if not for warmth , how                     how  do  you  live  ? “ 

          “... THEN YOU ARE A FOOL.”

But, then, so had he been. It came as no surprise. Love did things to people-- Icarus had witnessed it in many others by now as well. No one in love seemed to listen to reason.

    WISE  WORDS ,  THAT  ONLY  FALL  ON  DEAF  EARS .  he  is  young ,  young  enough to  think  all  that  they’ve  gone  through  is  by  the  worst  of  it .  nothing  will  make  patroclus  leave ;  not  when  he  still  tastes  achilles  on  his  lips . 

              “    –  he  wouldn’t . he  would  never  raise  a  hand               against  me .  his  love ,  his  love  is  like  sunlight . the               warmth  i’ve  wanted ,  all  my  life .  “ 

A FOOL IN LOVE WAS MOST CERTAINLY THE WORST KIND. Icarus understood all too well how the other felt. Had been there himself, and had thought himself invincible because of it. And now... now he was cursed to live a mortal life for all eternity, body deformed with wings that served no use to one afraid to fly.

        “IT DOESN’T. NOT MUCH, at least.”

It had been an observation, nothing more than that. Though Icarus sensed from the girl’s expression that she felt the need to guard herself. He couldn’t blame her.
