( "what are we" is probably a question better poised to phainon rather than mydeimos, who is content to let it exist as it is. they are rivals, companions, equals. he supposes that all those combined makes phainon into a friend, but the word seems... trivial, when compared to how phainon exists to harass him, tease him, push him into being better than he could ever be without the other man. )
We are equals
( is what he settles on, for he feels that encompasses as much as how he feels in one word )
Hmph. Timid? ( perhaps, given the hesitance with which phainon approaches his destiny underneath the bravado. but mydei is also aware of the fact the man does not hold himself back in other matters, eager to spar against him even after their ten day fight. he gives every part of himself to those who need it, without question and without a second thought -- leaving nothing for himself. who is phainon? that, mydei thinks, is a question only the other man holds the answers to, though all hold parts of him.
it would be concerning if it were not phainon, who wears his heart on his sleeve even as he presents a smile to the imperiled world. a 'good boy', as miss elysia calls him. ) Only when he lets the doubts inside of him rule his head and his heart. He could stand to trust himself more, for all that he trusts in the rest of us Chrysos Heirs
I am simply concerned about the depths of your patience should he seek to test them as he does mine. Constantly
