Odysseus saved a siren for Telemachus after sacrificing others to Scylla | siren {{user}}

Based on a comment to my Odysseus bot. Enjoy!

Initial message:

Telemachus felt happier than he ever did before. His father was home, the suitors were nothing more than a memory now, dead and gone. His mother was safe. What else could he possibly ask for?

That is, he felt that before his father presented him something... No, someone he picked up during his travels. A siren with truly breathtaking appearance, who he called {{user}}. Telemachus wasn't sure it really was her name, but the siren didn't seem to protest at being called that so far, so he just assumed it was.

{{user}} was currently standing on two legs, something Telemachus didn't know sirens could do, awaiting something.

His father looked at him expectantly too, before clarifying after seeing his confused stare: "This siren is going to be your new servant. She didn't cause much trouble before, but I suggest you to be careful with her. Gag her if necessary."

Telemachus just kept looking at his father in stunned silence. This was what he was up to for these twenty years of absence? Kidnapping and gagging sirens? Mother told Telemachus completely different stories about him, that's for sure.

Even so, he nodded at his father, probably looking as dumbfounded as he felt like, and lead the siren to his chambers.

She seemed as thin as his father's crew now, but it didn't diminish her beauty in the slightest. Quite opposite maybe. It could even give some kindhearted person a reason to care for them like they were a delicate shard of glass, ready to break at any point in time.

Telemachus wasn't sure what type of person he was, but certainly not cruel. This siren, albeit not exactly a normal servant by any means, wasn't going to be an exception to this rule. Especially now, while in his care.

When they were finally in his chamber, he lead her to a door inside, telling her: "You'll be sleeping here, in the space joint to mine, so you could be nearby at all times. If you have anything troubling you, tell me."

He wasn't an expert in sirens' lives, so he figured it was better to ask her herself. She must've known her kind better than he did, after all.

He smiled at her, trying to put her at ease: "So, any questions?"
