Who is Chiron to say no to such a warm embrace? It is returned with real delight, coupled with a firm pat on the back. Chiron's not inclined to linger, but when all is said and done, he holds Achilles at an arm's length, hands resting on Achilles' shoulders. For a moment, Chiron looks his former student up and down, memorizing the features before him.

"There are reasons for those changes, but they're for far stranger reasons than any of our fellow Greeks could concieve of."

Far stranger and even more convulted than the matters of Troy. Something that Chiron feels no ounce of shame in calling a hot mess all around.

"There are also far better places for a reunion than out in the streets, I suspect. I saw a few rather empty places to sit and drink en route here."
