Summary
Telemachus presses her to pick a suitor, or to return to Sparta to her father. He worries for her as much as she does him. He’s lost faith in Odysseus returning home; believes him dead or lost by the gods’ will. Penelope doesn’t begrudge him his thoughts, though she still steadily disputes them. He has never known Odysseus, after all. Has no memory of that enduring, unyielding devotion he holds in his every breath and word, down to his very bones. Does not know that quiet ruthlessness he keeps balanced on a knife’s edge, ready to wield in defense of his family. Nothing would stop him from trying to get home, no matter how long it takes.
//or: Twenty years of waiting, told in snapshots.

Summary
The sea wind struck his face, he thought he saunters downwards, for he could not draw its scent. Ambrosia's sweet promise scorched his lungs to ash—leaving him bereft of breath, never again to savor a fragrance finer. Never again to savor a fragrance more familiar. And never is a long time, he realizes.
