    Summary

    Between raids and more or less bloody battles, the Achaean contingent had set up a camp where they could live and organize themselves day after day. Alliances, friendships, and rivalries had been created, and Sthenelus had done nothing but continue to follow Diomedes into battle, accompanying him on every sortie at the wheel of his chariot: the quickest way to drag him away when the situation became too tense or dangerous.

    What Sthenelus, despite himself, hadn't seen coming were the strange questions his best friend had begun to ask him, from time to time.

    It all started almost by chance, with an apparently distracted tone: «Do you think you can let someone know you want them… without saying it, but by showing them you're willing to get your hands dirty for them?»
