George had arranged himself a small snack food feast and was stretched out on the couch, watching Animal Planet with some fascination.
"Penguins are so cool," he murmured to himself, watching as a horde of emperor penguins waddled across the ice. When Patrick entered, he called over his shoulder, "Patrick, let's run away and be penguins. We can balance eggs on our feet."

"I've been a prisoner of war a lot," George said. "And people, well, they don't always treat their prisoners honorably."
It wasn't something George talked about, because it wasn't something George liked to think about. Ever. But the Antichrist had threatened to rape Patrick, and he felt like his brother deserved to know.

Instead he said, "The first time it happened was when I was being martyred. Obviously not, like, right when I was being martyred, but before. In the cells. A lot of the soldiers were angry, they felt like I'd been lying to them the whole time."

"I'm sorry," he whispered, nuzzling against George. "I'm sorry that happened to you. Were they...I dunno, trying to make you renounce your faith or were they just being-" Patrick almost said assholes, but he changed his mind at the last minute, "-dickheads?"

"Some of them were trying to make me renounce. They thought they were helping, in their own way, since the Emperor had offered me a very nice life if I would just stop with all this Christ nonsense. I think they hoped that when I 'came to my senses' or something, I'd understand why they'd done it. Others were just angry, or hadn't liked me anyway." George sighed. "It was hard to forgive them, when I came back as a saint. It took a long time. And they had been dead for centuries by then, so it wasn't as though I could confront them."

"I don't know if I could have forgiven someone for-" He shook his head and then turned to kiss George's. "And that wasn't the only time? Was it always when you were a prisoner?"

He closed his eyes at Patrick's next question. "Yeah. I'm pretty good at kicking and biting and breaking ropes, but they usually had other prisoners in there with me, and once they threatened them...well, what was I going to do? Say no?"

He was silent for a moment and then he said, "sometimes I worry that there might have been something like that in my past and I just can't remember it. Like when I was a slave. But my master had lots of female slaves for that, which is one of the reasons I am still so against marriage. The owners could marry their slaves and then-" Patrick shook his head, content to stop talking about that. "I know there was something with another slave but to be honest I was a teenager and I was trapped in a land surrounded by strangers. I was just glad to be touched in a way that didn't involve whips."

"Do you want food? Takeaway? I could cook? Or pie, I could make pie!"

"I love you okay. And Downpatrick loves you," Patrick held the dog's head up for George to look into his eyes. "I'll go get you some noms."
