Achilles still wasn't over what had been done to Patroclus and Briseis without a reprimand. He could hold a grudge a long time, Hermes was up there on his list of people he despised. Agamemnon was still number one. It had taken weeks for him to heal enough to even be seen. It had put a damper in his work, but right now his focus was on those that needed him.

Perseus had been of some help as he was seeing Deridre, and it gave Briseis company when he couldn't be there. He didn't wish to be a burden to any of them, it seemed rather odd for him having to lease his own apartment out to Patroclus for the time being while he stayed with the girls. When he'd been hospitalized he had made Polyxena a promise, and after he was comfortable at putting some distance between he and Briseis he went to see the woman who had started to creep into his life.

Differences aside she offered quiet and an open heart. He was all too eager to give his own to her in return when for so long his heart had lay dormant with another. It was hard to pinpoint exactly what he was feeling, but it was peaceful. This time she was ready to save him.

Polyxena opened the door to find Achilles waiting for her. She smiled at seeing him, a expression she did not often give, and she stepped aside to let him past her. "Achilles, I am glad to see you. I was just making some pasta if you're hungry."

He had just been about to knock when she opened the door as if she had known he'd be there that night. He greeted her with a soft kiss, his jaw still sore. "Forgive me for the wait." He didn't like hanging back so long when he found himself thinking of only her. She was a more understanding creature than he had ever expected her to be. Quiet.

"Of course," Polyxena said, not minding the wait at all. "How is Briseis?"
