The Persian Boy, Five Things.

[toujours_nigel]

Five Things, to take my mind off stuff:

Zeus and Hera, boy, I’m not going to have you whipped if you stay here.

 

I don’t think you’ve had as good a life as might be assumed, have you?

 

Stop feeding him stories about Persian Great Kings.

 

He does need you.

 

I came for you for my own reasons.

***

I have given him what you could not, from pride or from ignorance.

 

He loves me more.

 

Could you be a little less secure, please?

 

You are all as nothing, compared to him, and you are alone among them in knowing that.

 

Your death saddens me, who once desired it.

"He loves me more"!? My dear do you believe that? Say it ain't so!

[toujours-nigel.livejournal.com]

weeell, Bagoas canonically does, doesn't he?

Believe that, I mean.

Well okay I'll give you that, it is what he believed to be true. So do you think Hephaistion might have wanted to say the same thing? Or would that be an needless stating of the obvious to his way of thinking?

Our Phai is above talking to ickle Persian pretties about what he feels for Alexander, isn't he?
