[Paris and Agelaus eat at a campfire, while Zeus and Aphrodite watch them unseen]
It's good. Tastier than anything in Troy.
What happened to that woman you stole?
It's over.
Don't you love her?
More than ever. But I lost. So they have to give Helen back to Menelaus, it's the code of war. They probably already have. [pause] What if I'd never left here?
But you did. Paris... I'm an old man. I can't protect you.
The boy's suffered enough.
Priam should have killed the baby himself. Then none of this need have happened.
You set the whole thing up. The competition, Helen... all just to satisfy the Omens.
No... I gave the boy a chance to seize his own destiny. And he took it.
[strokes his arm] ...Forgive him. For me.
[Zeus turns to kiss her as she nuzzles him, but abruptly stops]
Thing is... forgiveness isn't our way, is it?
