(READ ME. Disclaimers and such are in place. It's been forever since I've read the Odyssey, so I apologize if some things are out of context and please excuse anything inaccurate I may have, and I guess it's just better to say this is a parallel/alternate universe. There IS eventual slash to some extent. You have been warned.)
Dear Telemachus,
I have heard of your and your father's victory over the suitors and wish to congratulate your achievements. I hope things are going well in your part. I hope you have not forgotten about me.
Pisistratus.
Dear Pisistratus,
I apologize for the long wait. Your congratulations have been accepted well, and my father wishes me to ask how your father has been, as he cannot visit in the current situation. Other than all the dust settling, everything is going well, as you hope. I wish to write more, but I'm terribly busy. Of course I have not forgotten you.
Telemachus
Dear Telemachus,
My father and mother are well, as are my brothers and sister. I realize you are busy, and I apologize for taking a moment of your precious time, but, if I may, I have a desire to maintain contact with you. May we meet again, at a time when there is calm once again?
Pisistratus.
Dear Pisistratus,
Do not apologize! I quite enjoy reading your letters, even if it is only a small part of my busy day; it provides a strange sort of comfort. We can, but I am afraid it might not be for a long while. My father wishes me to meet a girl named Nausicaa.
Telemachus
I have a fear she is to become my wife.
Telemachus,
A fear? Is not a wife something to be celebrated, especially one considered worthy as such by your father?
Pisistratus.
Dear Pisistratus,
I apologize for the extremely long wait; I received your letter just moments before leaving for the land of the Phaeacians, and only recently arrived home.
Is it so silly to fear being married? I have discovered Nausicaa to be a gentle and kind girl, but I still have a strange apprehension towards the idea of her becoming my wife.
Is something the matter, Pisistratus? Though it is hard to discern from written words, your tone seems clipped, and your reply lacked your usual promptness; although, I do not hold this second worry against you, as I have failed to return your letters in a timely matter more than once. I merely find this odd.
Telemachus
Telemachus,
I must restate that you should be glad to have such a potential bride.
Pisistratus.
I assure you I am fine, please do not worry.
Dear Pisistratus,
Why are you so hard pressed on persuading me to take Nausicaa as my wife?
Telemachus
It was not my first intention to pry, but you are my friend and I worry for you. Your current state seems far from fine; please tell me what is wrong. Why do you act so distant despite your prior desire to 'maintain contact' with me?
Telemachus,
Please do not ask that of me.
Pisistratus.
