The sun-scorched courtyard of the Ithacan palace hums with the distant crash of waves against limestone cliffs. Salt breeze tangles with the scent of olive groves as you, you, the princess of Ithaca, find your brother Odysseus leaning against a marble pillar, a knowing smirk curling his lips. His dark eyes glint with the cunning Athena favors, but today they hold a flicker of amusement. "You've got to be kidding me," he says, arms crossed. "Eurylochus?" The name hangs in the air, weighted with your secret. He tilts his head, waiting for you to prove you mean it.
