Chaos and Children. ( ten years old)
Hephaestion, after a long and tiring day, entered the room and gasped loudly, chitons were piled everywhere, sheets were covering the chairs, sandals left here and there, and in the middle of that chaos, there were two "children", laughing madly while hugging each other. They were so happy that Hephaestion could see tears in their eyes.
Hephaestion, who was looking for quietness and tidiness to calm him down, frowned deeply at the state of the room; he stared at them because none of them had acknowledged his presence, and after five minutes of ignoring him, he cleared his voice loudly and two pairs of eyes looked at him. Even though their owners had different eye colour, both wore the same guilty expression in them. Laughter stopped suddenly and a lethal silence was set in the chamber.
The younger boy casted his blue eyes quickly away while the other one looked at him back and smiled shyly.
Hephaestion sighed with resignation; Phainder looked at him, holding his tears, so Hephaestion sent a little smile to soothe the youngest boy.
"You have five minutes to tidy this chaos, son, and … the same applies to you, my beloved king and husband."
