So much had happened these past few weeks, Ariadne realized. She had gone from worrying about whether or not Persephone was alive and readjusting to her life back at home to finding the queen back in Athenia and leaving her father behind to join Persephone. She was still wracked with guilt for leaving him behind in such a manner, even now that they were reunited. Hector had assured her that all was well, but that didn’t stop Ariadne from feeling horrible about everything. What if something had happened to her? He never would have forgiven himself, even while knowing it was Ariande’s fault. Ari didn’t want her father to feel such guilt. He deserved better.
Of course, now there was not much time for her to worry about such things, for their little house was full, teeming with guests. There was so much for Ariadne to do now and she did her best to make sure that everyone was as comfortable as they could be. It wasn’t as spacious as their last place, but it was as safe as could be. While Hector was known to be a Xanthos supporter, nobody would likely suspect that he housed the queen along with half a dozen other members of nobility and their companions. They had been very careful to ensure that Ariadne and Hector were the only two members to leave their home, not wanting to reveal the others inside.
However, more mouths to feed meant finding more food than was stocked in their home. Unfortunately, Ariadne couldn’t manage all of the shopping by herself. So it was decided that Chrysanthe would accompany her to the market and Ariadne would explain her away as a friend who had also served in the palati come to visit. That would pass as acceptable for most anyone curious. Everyone had too much of their own problems now to worry about anyone visiting Hector’s household.
That morning the two young women set out in the direction of the market, off to gather enough supplies for their now large household. Although they had spent some time together since Ariadne was reunited with Persephone, she found that she still didn’t know much at all about Chrysanthe. Ari knew that she liked the other young woman—quite a lot, in fact. She was kind and caring and remarkably well adjusted to what was probably a different life for her. Yet, Ari didn’t know all of the details of her background or how she had come to even meet Persephone. There had been a half explanation on Perse’s part, with a promise to explain everything later, but they hadn’t yet had a chance to do that.
Ariadne hoped that the two of them could be friends, especially if they were to continue to serve Persephone together. “Thank you for accompanying me,” she said with a smile, turning to look at Chrysanthe as they made their way out of the home and down the street. “I hope you like seafood because the market here is likely to be full of it. Arcana always has the freshest fish.” When the vendors were allowed to sell it, of course—not give it up to the imposters who had occupied the palati.
“I’m sorry—I feel as though we haven’t gotten to know each other, but it’s been so hectic since we met. I do hope that we can become friends,” Ariadne continued, as they walked closer to the docks where the market was. She meant it truly. Ari hoped that the four of them would become good friends.

Everything had been such a blur for Chrysanthe since they had arrived in Athenia. First they had arrived in one house full of people she didn’t know, and Persephone had taken on another new handmaiden. Or rather, had picked back up an old handmaiden. Before Chrysanthe had really had a chance to settle in their new location, there had been the fire. The house they were staying in had burned to the ground, and they had fled to another location. The house of the new old handmaiden, Ariadne. Her father had been so gracious as to take them all in.
Chrysanthe had been gradually adjusting to live at this new place. Although it was cramped with the number of people who had to share this house that had only been meant for one family, Chrysanthe didn’t mind. It had always been cramped back in the foundlings’ home. Rhode was never good at saying no to any child who needed a roof over their heads and food to eat. Still, in Vasiliadon she could always go out of the house in order to get some escape from the others. Here, they were in hiding so she had not been able to escape the cramped house full of unfamiliar people.
When Ariadne suggested that she accompany her to the shops, Chrysanthe couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Just the ability to get out of the house and go somewhere different was a small relief after being stuck inside for so long, even if it was to go out and do the difficult task of attempting to find enough food for everyone staying in the house.
Chrysanthe was happy that Ariadne struck up a conversation as they walked. It was good to have an opportunity to get to know the women who she had been working with. “Thanks for bringing me with you. I was dying to get outside and do anything,” Chrysanthe responded. “Fish sounds good. I’m not picky as long as it’s fresh.” She’d had her share of seafood that was less than fresh in the past, and she had no desire to repeat that particular experience.
Chrysanthe smiled as Ariadne mentioned that she hoped they could become friends. “I certainly hope so. I think it wouldn’t be great if we had to work together and weren’t friends” Chrysanthe always enjoyed making new friends, although all the change had made it difficult for her to even begin to get her bearings to connect with the people around her. But now, with things finally beginning to settle down, Perhaps that could finally change.
