Bending other to his will was easy. He should have made a job of it. Tell then what they wanted to hear. Show a little affection or vulnerability, get an in, and the rest was smooth sailing from there. Chimera hadn't done that with Erystotle, however. His emotions and actions were true, although heightened a bit from waking to find the smaller man clinging to him in the dark.

Should you find me asleep in here again, you don't need to be so secretive." There was a mischievous twinkle in the giant's pale, pink eye. With a nod, he reluctantly set off to begin his day.
