The moment Patroklos awoke, he had found himself to be alone. Luckily for him, Isuzu was still present at the base as she entered the room.
"Glad to see you're up and ready for today." she said with a smile.
Seeing as she was fully dressed and he wasn't, he covered himself, but Isuzu reassured him. "Don't worry, we're the only ones in my room! Besides, you're like one of those statues come to life."
Patroklos could only chuckle, before he went to retrieve his boxers. "But you won't mind if I got dressed while we're talking, right?" he asked.
"Nope."
As he began to dress himself, he said to her, "I'm considering going back to Greece."
"Really? What for? You don't wanna live in Lasberg anymore?" she asked.
"Not really, but rather to have a friendly bout with Aunt Cassandra. In other words, training." he replied, making her smile again.
Eventually, Patroklos would be fully clothed. Just as he was about to leave, Isuzu called out to him. "Shouldn't you check on Pyrrha, first?"
He turned to see her and nodded. "I will, don't worry."

As he visited the Schwarzwind's castle, Patroklos had planned to visit Pyrrha, true to his and Isuzu's word. Expecting Siegfried, he instead came across Tristy.
"Tristy," he said, "May I drop by to see my sister? I hope she's doing alright."
"Of course. She seems to be a bit perplexed about one of her arms, though. Maybe you can talk to her about it?"
"Sure."

Pyrrha had just awoken, and had asked for some soup for breakfast. When the doctors brought it to her, she began to eat.
At the same time, Patroklos had entered the medical bay. "Pyrrha? Are you okay?"
Hearing him speak made her smile, and she replied, "Patroklos...it's good to see you again. And yes, I'm getting better...I hope."
"Well, I just wanted to let you know that I'll be traveling to Greece with Isuzu at my side." he said.
"Oh, you and Isuzu got together as a couple?" she asked. "Isn't she a little old for you?"
"Yes, and as for her being a bit older than me, I actually don't mind. Besides, I just need to undergo some training with Aunt Cassandra."
Pyrrha's smile grew bigger, and she said, "Just...be careful, okay?"
"I will; don't worry."

Several days later...
Having returned to his native country after taking temporary leave from Lasberg, Patroklos smiled. He heard Isuzu ask, "Don't you remember the path you took in locating your aunt?"
He looked over at her before nodding. "Let's go find her."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cassandra had just come home after a rather busy day, and was preparing to have a bath. However, her plans were cut short when she heard a knock on the front door.
"Could you save the bath for later?" she asked one of the servants.
"Of course, madam."
She went to answer the door, and upon opening it, she was pleasantly surprised.
"Patroklos!" she exclaimed with a smile. "It's so good to see you again! How's life going?"
Patroklos smiled back, before replying, "I'm glad to visit you again as well, Aunt Cassandra. I've got good news and bad news, by the way. So can we talk in the courtyard?"
"Sure!" Cassandra said. "Oh, and uh...from the looks of things, is Isuzu now your girlfriend?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
It was obvious that she was referring to Isuzu, who simultaneously grinned and winked. Patroklos briefly looked over at her, before looking back at his aunt. "Yes...she and I are currently in love." he replied.
"Well, it's about time you've found someone to find romance with."
The Greek youth couldn't help but blush, but also smiled even more radiantly. As he entered the house, he was already poised to go to the courtyard to speak to his aunt.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Nightmare chose her?!"
Cassandra bolted from her chair, eyes widening in shock.
"Yes...and to make matters worse, she was assigned Soul Edge as prophecized. Pyrrha was also assigned to work for Nightmare, and was also told to find and kill Marie and I, the holders of Soul Calibur, and also the Fated Hero and Heroine."
Taking a deep breath, the Greek woman asked, "Y-You didn't fight her, did you?"
Patroklos replied, "Marie and I fought her, but in the end, Pyrrha lost fair and square. Luckily, we didn't kill her. Instead, we brought her back to Schwarzwind's castle, where she would be tended to by Liz and the doctors."
Cassandra breathed a sigh, and exclaimed, "Oh, thank the gods!"
"But, as she told me, she also has a bullseye on her back, in a figurative sense. In other words, Nightmare could track her down and kill her for her failure." Patroklos added.
"Then I'm glad you've still got her on your side. Otherwise, things would've been even worse for Pyrrha, my poor niece." she said, giving him a hug out of relief.
He hugged her back, before eventually pulling away. "So I came here to train for a bit, and with you as my teacher." he added.
"Oh, really?" Cassandra asked, before her relieved smile grew bigger. "I'd be honored! Besides, it's been a while since I last kicked ass!" she exclaimed.
"I can tag along, right?" Izuzu's voice rang out.
Patroklos instantly took notice, and both he and Cassandra nodded their approval.

After escorting him to her home's training room, Cassandra has already took out her sword as well as her shield. "So, you ready?" she asked as she turned to see him.
"Yes, but hold on." Patroklos replied, before taking out Soul Calibur from its sheath.
This was enough to take the woman by surprise, and exclaimed, "So it IS true! You're one of the holders of Soul Calibur's newest incarnation!" before asking, "Didn't it come with a shield?"
"It did, but Ares destroyed it one not-so-uneventful day."
"I wonder why?" she inquired.
"Well, Athena insisted that she and Ares mentor me and Pyrrha, but Ares wasn't all that happy about it, so in a rage, he broke it." Patroklos told her.
"Couldn't you bring it to a blacksmith?"
"No, I'm far better off with only the sword." he replied.
"A-ha, I see..."
Once she walked to the center of the room, he followed her lead. It didn't take long for her to charge, exclaiming, "Here I come!" before her blade cut through his armor.
As he took the first hit, Patroklos had to put some effort into his training. After a couple of hits from her, he retaliated with several swings of his sword.
Cassandra smirked, before dodging an incoming attack. However, she was already caught offguard by his combo.
Ready to strike back, she was close to pulling it off. To her surprise, since he didn't have a shield, Patroklos parried her attack with Soul Calibur.
"Way to improvise." she said.
"Thanks."
He finally slashed at her several more times, nearly breaking her armor. Around the same time, Marie watched, eyes full of curiosity.
However, his string of moves were cut short when Cassandra blocked with her shield. She would then figuratively slice through him a few times, before attempting to jump onto his head with her posterior.
Luckily, Patroklos was more than happy to evade her, before taking her by surprise with his Critical Edge. When he was finished, he sheathed his sword and looked back to see Cassandra panting and grinning at the same time.
"Well, damn. You sure did learn an awful lot back in Germany!" she exclaimed.
He smiled, before helping her up. "Thank you, Aunt Cassandra." he told her.
"I suggest you take a load off for the rest of the day; what do you think?"
"Sounds pretty good."
Cassandra has also noticed Isuzu witnessing their bout, and warned her, "I hope you're not drinking too much of that whiskey."
"I'm not, don't worry!"
"I thought you said you didn't like whiskey." Patroklos said.
The samurai chuckled. "Of course I don't; besides, I'm certain there are other kinds of booze here in Greece that I tried out. Ever heard of ouzo?" she asked.
"Uh...maybe?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As promised, Isuzu had her chance at sparring with Cassandra. Soon after, she gave herself a bath, and once that was done, she and Patroklos returned to the villa.
Isuzu had also found that there was a good supply of alcohol; in fact she eagerly drank a few glasses of ouzo. At the same time, the Greek youth had went to Athena for a question or two.
"I know you didn't like me drinking at such an age, but I just want to give it another shot." he told her.
The goddess sighed. "I've warned you not to do it the first time." she said.
"Well, just this once, please?"
Athena frowned, but slowly began to relent. "Fine, just tonight it is. After that, it will be the second and last time you've ever got drunk."
"Thanks." Patroklos said with a small smile.
As he went to find Isuzu, Athena saw that Ares materialized next to her. "Didn't expect you to give in like that." he said, grinning.
This earned another sigh from his sister as she rolled her eyes, almost as if she was annoyed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Isuzu had heard the door to the dining room being knocked on, before going to answer it. "Well, if it isn't Patroklos." she said, her drunkenness clearly showing.
"Hey, I was just wondering if I could drink with you." he told her.
"Really? No problem, then!"
It didn't take long for Isuzu to pour him a glass of ouzo, to which he'd happily accept.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Some time later, Patroklos was just as drunk as her after a couple of glasses. Then again, she was a bit more wasted than he was.
"So how'd you like it?" Isuzu asked.
"It was pretty good, I'll admit."
"Is that so?"
It wasn't long before she began to undo his pants, his shaft not just erect. However, she began stroking him off in earnest, prompting a moan from him as he would begin to harden.
"You ever done it while drunk?" she asked him.
"Nngh...I have never have."
"Really? Then you'll love this!"
She then ran her tongue across him, giving him a rather saucy gaze. As Isuzu began fellating him, Patroklos's groans began to fill the dining room in terms of sounds.
He ran his fingers through her dark hair, looking down at her. Bobbing her head up and down, she would suddenly switch gears by undoing some of her kimono.
When she did so, she exposed her large breasts to him. Isuzu then put his length in between them, prompting him to have his eyes widen in surprise.
Her ministrations continuing to send him over the edge, Patroklos bucked his hips further. She would also flick and tease her nipples as a means to turn him on, before she asked, "What do you think, handsome?"
"I'm actually enjoying myself, not to mention you're so sexy with my prick in between those tits of yours." he replied. Given how he had drunk with her, it was the alcohol's effect that made him say such dirty things.
"Ooh, saying something different, huh? I thought you were always so gallant and kind-hearted."
Patroklos then grit his teeth as he would finally reach his limits, his seed landing on her face and breasts. He watched as she licked at his essence, indulging in its simultaneously salty yet sweet taste.
Once she finished, she removed her kimono, as well as her fundoshi. Isuzu then got on top of him, his length pressing against her already wet entrance.
As she lowered onto him, she gasped as he filled her completely. She began to ride him, staring into Patroklos's eyes as she moved up and down as she locked lips with his.
Clearly tasting the ouzo that he and Isuzu had consumed together, he quickly shifted gears. Using his tongue to collide with hers, he placed his hands on her hips, moving upwards into her.
"Enjoying yourself so far?" he heard her whisper in his ear.
"Y-Yeah..."
He pumped hard inside her, his grunts in sync with her moans, despite both being fairly muffled. The Greek youth was also enjoying the familiarity of her tightness, feeling her milk his length.
Breaking the kiss, Isuzu went for the side of his neck, gently nibbling the area as Patroklos shuddered. Due to the intensity of their coitus, they were reaching their climax almost easily.
The female samurai's eyes widened as she felt herself let go, crying out as her vaginal muscles contracting. About ten seconds later, he also broke loose.
As he exploded inside her, he stifled a groan of pleasure. Once all was said and done, Isuzu held onto him, still in his lap as he pulled out.
"I know it's the liquor talking, but fuck me. That was impressive!" he managed to say to her.
"You're telling me. Which reminds me,"
After she spoke, she kissed Patroklos yet again, but this time without any tongue. When she broke it, she asked, "Let's have ourselves a bath together."
"A bath? Why, of course. Why not?"
Getting off his lap, Isuzu went to fetch her kimono, whereas Patroklos began fixing his pants. While they had one final round before retreating to bed, they still had a lot of work to be done.
