"...Lydia."

Athena raised an eyebrow, before asking, "Why her, may I ask?"

Patroklos replied, "Well, she was pretty smart, but I also found her to be rather adventurous for someone who digs books. I know she's moved on from Pyrrha, so I know I'll fill the hole she probably still has in her heart."

The goddess smiled as she said to him, "I am glad you've made your decision, Patroklos. Do find her and break the news."

He smiled back, before exiting his room.

Once he started looking around, he heard a voice. "Where are you going?"

Patroklos turned to see that it was Helen, who had been in her room for a bit. He was quick enough to reply, "I'm looking for Lydia. Do you know where she went to?"

"She said she was going to take a bath. I hope you don't disturb her."

"I'm just going to talk to her, that's all." Patroklos said, giving her a nod before going on his way.

Arriving at the bathing chamber, Patroklos took his time disrobing. Once he was bare, he entered and was greeted by Lydia in one of the baths.

"Lydia?" he called out to her, prompting the British girl to notice.

She turned to see him, and smiled as she asked, "Oh, you wanted to have a bath, too?"

"Actually, I just more than wanted a bath." Patroklos said as he got in with her. "I want to tell you something that I've been holding up in me for a really long time."

"And what's what?"

Taking a deep breath, he finally said with a smile, "I'm starting to believe that we're more than just friends with benefits. In fact, I'm falling in love with you, even after all those times we got frisky together."

Lydia was surprised, but smiled alongside him. "Me, too. How I longed to take this big step into becoming legitimate lovers with you." she replied.

"But there's a question I have to ask: Have you truly moved on from Pyrrha?" he asked.

Placing her hands on either side of Patroklos's face, she told him, "Yes, I have."

"So no more polyamory, right?"

"Definitely not."

Once Lydia spoke those words, she leaned in to kiss him deeply. Taking note of her assertiveness, Patroklos wrapped his arms around her.

As their tongues began to duel, he brought one of his digits to her twat. She gasped softly before choosing to sit back on the edge of the bath, presenting herself to the Greek youth.

Almost instantly, Patroklos dove in between her legs. His tongue began sliding into her warmth, while he looked up at her with hungry eyes.

"I suppose this isn't your first time giving cunnilingus to a girl, right?" she asked between moans of sweetness.

"Obviously not."

Continuing to send Lydia over the edge, his tongue delved deep into her. She arched her back as she grasped at his hair with one hand, whereas she used the other to fondle one of her tits.

"Mmm...you're so good at this...!"

Lydia's cries of passion were enough for Patroklos to start stroking his length off, before he chose to finger her slit at the same time. It was clear that they would break the rule of no sex in the public bath, and hoped no one would barge in on them.

Eventually his work would pay off, as he saw her throw her head back as she screamed, "Bloody hell!"

Before long, she sprayed into Patroklos's face with her juices. This caught him by surprise, but he savored her anyway.

With her still sitting on the edge, he spread Lydia's legs apart. Taking his shaft, he would finally slide into her, grunting as he enjoyed her tightness once again.

Thrusting deep, Patroklos whispered into one of her ears, "So I learned you like to swear during sex..."

"Really?" Lydia asked between moans, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Then maybe I can show you some colorful words I think you might want to try out...fuck me hard!"

"I will be more than happy to fuck you hard, Lydia..." he grunted, complying with her demand as his movements grew a bit frenzied, but not too fast.

Lydia's muscles began to tighten as she jerked her head to the side, allowing Patroklos to kiss and lick at the side of her neck. Her legs would also find themselves around him, holding him close to her so as to intensify their coitus.

Water had began to splash lightly, and some had also spilled onto the floor. But neither did not care, and they didn't even care if they made so much noise the bathing chamber, either.

When his thrusts became quicker and more frenzied, Patroklos claimed Lydia's lips in another fervorous kiss, their tongues now dueling. Her nails had nearly dug into the skin of his back, but he enjoyed it regardless as her moans and cries grew louder.

"Fuck!"

"Lydia...oh, shit!"

It wasn't long before both of them reached their summit, starting with Lydia as her tongue stuck out in bliss. Following her lead, Patroklos pulled out, ejaculating all over her body.

They both panted together as they stared at one another, before the British woman grinned. "You're amazing; I've never had sex with someone so...skillful!" she exclaimed.

"Neither have I."

The Greek youth then suggested, "I think we should clean up, then head back to your room to finish what we started."

"You've certainly read my mind, handsome."

Once they were done bathing, both Patroklos and Lydia redressed and headed back to his room. There, they had another round of passion.

Yet there were thoughts within their heads, even as they were ready to retire for the night.

Would we ever make it out alive?

Will there be any lives sacrificed?

Will Soul Calibur triumph over Soul Edge?

Regardless, they would finally find sleep together.
