[In the weeks past Achilles had been the dutiful soldier to the young Muse under his protection. No, not because the Sun God asked it of him, but for his own peace of mind. Achilles did nothing except for those he held dearly. He was not a puppet to be used on a whim. He made his own choices, took his own leads and followed no other man but himself.

Over the course of this time his heart had opened up to the little Muse, unleashing something within her. She felt herself in love, though those were not easy words for a hardened man as himself to profess. He would not profess them simply. For now he would be a strong embrace and she a calm energy upon his sometimes restless soul.]

The nightmares have but stopped, yet I believe it not the end of their corruption. I know too easily what it means when the waters calm. Something lurks in the darkness to claw away at sanity.

Your Muse is safe.

Good to hear it. I believe the immediate danger has passed for the time being, so I'll be returning to Seattle soon and can keep an eye on her myself.

Did you enjoy her charms while she was under your protection?

It would be rude for me to elaborate.

Ah, you have, then. Excellent. Consider yourself well-paid for your efforts. You'll find no pleasures more exquisite than what sweet Erato offers you. Love her well, and often.

Are you going to be ok?

It's weird... after all that time together, it just doesn't feel right without you here.
