Kreyu slides herself into his open arm, settles against Skellig.
"You came in from the East?" Ajax asks. Kreyu nods. Ajax exhales heavily. "That battlefield was between the forces of Achilles and Patroclus two of my brothers. I suspect, but can't prove, that Gorgon is acting on the behalf of my eldest brother, Menelaus, and that he wished to take both of them out at once."
"A vile plan, but not a bad idea strategically," Kreyu admits.
Ajax's smile turns bitter, sharp, for a moment. "Oh yes, Menelaus always took the most after our father, for good and for ill. He tried to kill me with poison when I was twelve." Ajax sips the wine, makes an appreciative sound. Koschei looks STUNNED into complete silence by that bit of information. Ajax continues on in a matter of fact way. "You might say that our relationship has been rather STRAINED since then. Still can't stomach the taste of almonds."
