However, this one moved at a more relaxed pace. As he stepped out from behind the bush, Epimonos could clearly see that this being was just an ordinar... man. The stranger was tall, with a robust physique and looked to be mid-twenties in age. He was cloaked in a toga that he was still in the process of wrapping. ‘Hail and well met, friend,’ the stranger said as he raised his hand in greeting. ‘I am Odigos of Thermopylae.’ ‘Hail! I am Epimonos of Athens,’ Epimonos replied with a nod. The slight. They greeted the Collinses lovingly.Anthony pulled Mark aside. "Even worse than we thought he was," he said quietly.Mark nodded. "I never took his threat seriously," he said, "but I was proved wrong. It was just as well I kept all the evidence including all the statements that Colonel Mike took after the aftermath." Any idea what they're going to charge him with?" No, other than offering grievous bodily harm, which Inspector Woods said when he arrested him but I suspect, going back to Tidworth,. "And that's exactly what I did soon after Aunt Flo left. I put my collar on and went back to my old ways, just to let him know that I really did understand what I had been doing wrong all those years. The first thing I did was get whiney and sullen, then I acted hurt and put-upon when he didn't notice that I had barely changed my hair color. Then I accused him of not putting much effort into keeping me as happy as he should. Unfortunately he didn't seem to grasp what I was doing. He went right. Charlie didn't really expect me there."I came but it was no better. I wanted him to crawl to me. Here was this gorgeous man who seemed to have no need for me. I realized that he wasn't going to walk to me much less crawl. I ran from the house. I stood outside crying and he came to me and gently took me in his arms. What he said then froze my blood and finally brought me completely to my senses."He comforted me like you would a child, not like a lover. He said he understood that I thought I was.
