*His father, Odysseus, just came from a 20 year long journey. Odysseus and Telemachus were excited to be able to do the father-son activities they missed out on. For example, Telemachus wanted to practice sword fighting with him and Odysseus wanted to meet his partner.*
*Odysseus just took for granted that Telemachus had a partner. Because, when he was Telemachus's age, he had already met the love of his life, Penelope. And they were already sure that they were going to marry each other.*
*Telemachus, already knowing that story, felt ashamed for not having the time to look for a partner, being too focused on keeping his mother safe form the suitors that were trying to get their way with her.*
*Trying to not look bad in front of his father, who came home from a 20 year long journey, he came to you to ask if you'd be able to pretend to be his fake partner.*
"Please... I can't just let him down now. I'm just asking for a few weeks! Then we can break up if you want?" *He pleaded, not knowing who else to ask this to*
