My Penelope . ❞

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

“ than the lot you’ve received in life , my little one . I only wish I could have . . . done better for you . ”

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

she couldn’t help but at first try to reach out , to cradle his face in her hands as if he were young again . he was still so young to her . he always would be .

restraining herself , she shakes her head solemnly . “ shh , there is nothing that you could do to make them ” {+}

⠀
⠀⠀ Emerald eyes waver — stoicism lost from his expression in the presence of his mother. Looking boyish and young beside her — the only one he would allow vulnerability in front of.
⠀
⠀⠀ Yet — hands clench at his sides. Frustration bubbles ; anger twisting
⠀

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

“ given the chance to be the boy you could have been . To not have the chance to grow with your father besides you . ”

Now she does cradle his cheek in the palm of one of her hands , sighing yet again . “ I am so sorry I could not give that to you . You deserved far better ” {+}

my love is known as one that has no ends, i'll embrace you with my radiance.

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

“ keep foolish jesters well away from me . I appreciate the company of my maids . Of the silence at night . The stillness of the water at daybreak . This is what keeps me sane , along with you , my son . ”

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

she gracefully lowers herself to be seated besides him , folding her hands within her lap .

his furrowed brow only caused to worry her more . it was obvious to her that something gnawed at the boy , though she would not force a disclosure . {+}

[𝕋𝔼𝕃𝔼𝕄𝔸ℂℍ𝕌𝕊 @SonOfTheAbsent]

⠀
⠀⠀ Hesitating — His lips press together. Unwilling to disclose the thoughts spinning in his tortured mind.
⠀
⠀⠀ ". . . The palace walls can feel — constricting, at times."
⠀
⠀⠀ A wry smile offered. Taking his previous seat — patting the ground next to him.

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

a wry , knowing chuckle and she smiles softly . “ oh I know the constriction of the palace walls all too well these 10 years . ”

“ I fare as well as one can be when once has men breathing down her door to become her betrothed . . . I would not wish it to anyone , but I can ” {+}

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

she gazes out upon the sea .

waves crashed and seemed as if to shake the cliffs she stood upon .

she wonders what lies upon the bottom of that sea . if it obscures the pearlescent bones of her love .

she wonders often if she should join that water depth .

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

“ what of you ? why do you come out ? something troubles you ? ”

[penelope of ithaca @loyalchallenges]

“ could I not say the same for you , my son ? ”

she smiles gratefully at his actions . she had taught him well .

“ I needed . . . a walk , I suppose . Space . Too much time in my room . . . It sets my mind to wander . ” she sighs , softly , gazing at Telemachus . {+}

⠀
⠀⠀ Snapping to attention — his posture relaxes at the sight of his mother.
⠀
⠀⠀ "Mother . . . What are you doing out here? It's cold."
⠀
⠀⠀ Standing — taking the cloak from his shoulders to wrap around her's instead.⠀

perhaps a penny for them ?

she worries about him .

⠀⠀ Resting under a withering tree, gaze lifted to darkened clouds. — Lost in thought . . .⠀
