He watched, feeling odd that he was fascinated as she bought pretzels. He owed her a pretzel now, but he still smiled at that. He'd always have a reason to find her now. He took a bite out of his pretzel, it was the most salty thing he'd ever tasted, and yet he took another bite right after. "Odysseus was a brilliant man." Dimitri said, almost as though he had to make an impression for him. "He was the king of an island, king of Ithaca. His marriage was legendary, twenty years apart and him and his wife, Penelope, still ended up with a happy ending." Dimitri said, remembering the story in his head now. "There were some very... interesting aspects to it. See, Odysseus wasn't the strongest or the fastest. But he was crafty, he was very smart. That's how he survived so many things to get back to his wife. He escaped from Calypso's seduction, avoided eating sacred cattle, listened to the siren's song and lived." Dimitri rambled on and on until he realized, Alannah probably wasn't finding this the most interesting topic in the world. There was very little context included, and he wasn't exactly sure how to tell her that he left because of the Trojan war. That was something else entirely. "But uh, no, I don't know him. He's a few thousand years passed expiration." Dimitri said, putting it as calmly as he could. Like all people, Odysseus simply passed.<br/><br/>The vibe didn't switch to anything less than happy still, which Dimitri was more than grateful. Maybe it would have been a little sad if it was anyone else, but Alannah was good at capturing his feelings and making them happy. Maybe it was the way she held his hand, he enjoyed it immensely. What was there to not like about Alannah, Dimitri wondered. Yet, he enjoyed a lot about her company. It was a strange sensation to want to be around another person unconditionally. He found himself just looking at her from time to time. He always wanted to ask her what it was about her that made her so attractive. Not physically, but why he just wanted to be around her.<br/><br/>It was at that point she asked about the whole divine life. He let out a gentle sigh as he began to speak. "It's... something else." Dimitri said. "My adopted father worked for my real father, that's why he raised me. And from time to time, my own father watches me. For all I know, he's in there looking right now." Dimitri said, pointing at the sea. "Yet, I've never spoken to him. Aside from that, I see things I never would have thought. There was a siren I heard sing. Some demon that turned to ash. I saw a three headed bear once even." Dimitri said, thinking back on it. "Sometimes it's terrifyin'." He stopped to look at her as he gently squeezed her hand. "But it isn't so bad. I met a mermaid, didn't I?"
