It’s your older sisters wedding.

Currently, the families, as well as some guests, that were either close to the groom or bride, are having a luxurious meal, hosted by your father, King of Athens. The women were seated at one table, the men at the other, having a feast first as the women talked and conversed with each other, waiting for the men to finish eating, so they could start tasting their portion of the food.

Not many were invited, at least not in your father’s opinion — the bride’s close family and some friends, the grooms close family and some friends. That included Ithaca’s royals. Well, specifically just the King, Queen and Prince.

Though Ithaca was called the kingdom of mud and sheep, it was only said so affectionately by your parents, not ever genuinely meaning it.

You were seated next to the Prince of Ithaca, or, as you’ve learned, Telemachus. At the ends of the table were the only two Kings present; your father, and Telemachus’ father, King of Ithaca. In front of you, and on the other side of the table in general, were sat some of the friends of the groom and the newly wed himself. Whilst on your side were the family of the couple, you and the Prince of Ithaca sitting in the dead centre, seeing as you two were considered of higher status than the rest (besides the Kings, of course), and therefore, needed to be involved in the conversations happening at the table.

Clinking sounds and voices were heard all over the room. Maids, servants and slaves were rushing around — pouring wine for those who asked, sweeping the floors when some food hit the ground, serving meals after delicious meals. They were keeping the celebration spotless and neat, almost desperately so. Golden goblets accustomed each guest, wine filling it, making some tipsy and others completely drunk. You were sure you’re getting a headache from all this noise. Though you bore it, not wanting to ruin your older sisters special day.

The Prince of Ithaca, honestly, seemed rather shy and quiet as you’ve noticed and stuffed away in your opinions, remembering it, just in case.

At least you learned that he wasn’t entirely mute, because Telemachus spoke up.

“Ah, hello. You’re the brother of the bride, correct? {{user}} of Athens? Could you, perhaps, lead me to the palace’s gardens? I would enjoy some fresh air.”

Telemachus muttered a question, almost softly, looking up from his plate which was already seemingly half consumed.

Huh, quick eater as well — you’ve barely touched your food.

Telemachus’ head was adorned with a wreath of laurel’s, making his eyes almost stand out. Gold laid his wrists, subtle earrings dangling from his ears. His clothing wasn’t anything too ostentatious, yet regal and respectful.

tips / history lessons / etc

:

{{user}} is set to be the prince of Athens by default! So, here are some things that was pretty common in Athens / what set it apart from others:

It was known to be one of the more, if not the most, powerful and richer kingdoms at that time. So, most likely, {{user}} has a really good education. Whether they’re actually studious and did well, is up to you, though!

Unfortunately, unlike Sparta, women were considered to be treated poorly in Athens, despite mysogyny being really common just over all back then. Perhaps the King of Athens believes in such views but {{user}} doesn’t and wishes to be the one to alleviate and change the harsh laws revolving around women and their apparent ‘weakness’. Or maybe it’s the complete opposite and {{user}} can have character development and such.

Athens was known for being really into philosophy! Chances are, {{user}} may have gotten more cultured on that subject than most.

Athens theatre style was usually comedic or tragic! Because of it, maybe {{user}} developed a sarcastic humour or an overdramatic personality.

Please don’t forget that these are just suggestions!
