Thackery had long stopped crying. But he had not stopped fidgeting with the bow. What was he some sort of gift? Wasn’t he supposed to be adopted to the apes or something? So what was this about becoming the king’s new lap dog? He could feel his palms sweat as he sat at the edge of the bed as instructed. Perhaps the king would pardon him. Or make it clear some mistake had been made. If it was a joke it was some joke. Either way here he sat all dressed up in his cute little outfit. It was one of those stupid onesies he’d seen, but it was made of pure silk. Decorated finely, but brightly colored. He looked like a toddler in it, but as a youth maybe that was the point. He’d of course finished it off with a collar. Uncomfortable as it was, it was at least soft. And not as gaudy, from what little he could see if he looked down. But either way it was all just awful and he wanted out. “Can I go home now?” He asked to no one in particular. “I’m not really supposed to be some pet am I? I thought the laws made that illegal?” The two guards nearby were silent. “As honored as I am the king saw me and liked me I don’t think I’m the pet he’s looking for.” He tried. When they were still silent he leaned back and tried not to scream. This sucked but all he could honestly do was wait in whatever it was that miserable chimp had dressed him in. Kratos

Gladiator had returned, pausing at the entrance of the door where the two trained, silent guards stood. he amusingly watched the child with his arms folded. The new pets always complained to try to escape. yet, he was stunned the little pup didn't even attempt once. Where did he come from to be easily obedient, without a bite?
"I'm sorry, but this is your home, Thacker," he blandly clarifies to him, stepping aside as he was aware who was going to enter. "Stay cute, and happy, even if you have to fake it," he winks by his dark eyes.
Kratos stepped through the door but swiftly halted when his eerily eyes at the young boy. Wow, Gladiator sure knew how to dress the new pets in fine attire. Very pleasing to his sights. He rose a hand to the patrol nearest to him.
The patrol shut the door as silently commanded.
"You're a cute little fella, aren't you?" he cheerily mentions, reaching over to lightly squeeze his cheek. "Where did you find this catch? You don't even step out of the city," he snorts, referring to his royal counselor. His intimidating posture sunk down closer to the obedient child. "Do you have a name, pup?" he kindly whispers, stroking his silky hair.

Thackery opened his mouth to argue.
But that was when the king entered. A tall, gaunt giant that nearly made him piss his pants. The ape seemed very pleased to see him there, as much as it scared him. He tried to keep his calm, but he was incredibly worried. “He hauled me off the cart when I was brought in,” he explained. “I honestly don’t understand I thought kids were adopted in the cities? Pups are still adults aren’t they?”
He felt the stroke through his bright blonde locks, and looked up at the ape. The boy felt a shiver down his spine but tried to keep him composure. “Thackery, your majesty,” he swallowed. “They said I shouldn’t get attached to it though. You like naming your pets...” he explained.
His stomach was in knots. Hoping he’d just close his eyes and then open them, maybe this was a bad dream. “I hope I’m presentable I guess. I’ve never met a President before.”

Kratos enjoyed intimidating and having the people fear him. Makes it easier for him to slip new rules and laws. Sadly, even without the public's consent. Do any dare oppose, likely.
Kratos wasn't one to try and freighten young pups, just the adults. He sensed the boy's hidden fear. His other hand patted his head. "So you don't recall before the cart? No worries, your life before is just a faded memories." he whispered.
What? How did a little child know about the recent changes? Even was aware there use to be ape-raised humans? Are perhaps he was brighter than most children.
For a moment he stopped petting, pondering how to carefully respond. Oh! name change? What a perfect distraction. He mysterious, dark smile looked down at him. "Thacker? it's interesting, but I don't see it fitting you," he continues to whisper, and pet his head.
"Mmm, what do you think of Helios?"

Thackery began to reply that he knew before the cart.
But he also knew that he was once a Renegade’s child and the king hated them. So for a moment he stopped and then began again. “Sir if you don’t mind I’d just like to go home rather than forget my past,” he said as he stood moved to stand up.
He was pushed back down gently when the patting continued. Could the ape just stop that? He wasn’t liking this at all.
So when he’d stopped patting his head, and mentioned naming him Helios he stood to his feet finally. “Call me whatever. But this whole pet joke thing is over, right?” He asked as he started to walk past the king in hopes of just getting out of there. His hand reaching for the dang zipper out of reach. “Can you help me unzip this? It’s hard. I’ve never even seen clothes like these my size.. or with a zipper on the back.” He added.
The denial was pretty strong on this one.

Sir? That was an interesting plead. A child his age already knowing manners, how nice, and easy to break. Children seem more willing to listen then, then rather fight as much as an adult 'dog'. Where did this child come from? An Overlord ape-raising camp?
Small defiance? Not too bad, Kratos understood. With a fake smile and a gentle stare, he responds, "now, now, Helios," he pats his head further, "it's much easier. Or else you'll just keep replaying a life that you can't return here. So, just simply forget and try a new life that will 'benefit'," he tries to harshly manipulate.
He snickers, lifting his hand from the boy's head. Amusing, really amusing. Still acts like a normal fresh pet human, just more adorable. "You're adorable, Helios. No, you're going to be more pampered then you ever have." He drops his hand on the bed. "Fine cuisine, own room." He adds, "you just might like here."

Pampered? He felt a little bit of red flush into his cheeks at the thought.
So he was serious? He was keeping him as a pet? What would his parents think what would anyone think? He had started to trudge for the door a bit more as he thought on this. “I just don’t want to be... That is I don’t,” he felt a shove a little bit. Very gentle. From one of the guards to go back - clearly he wasn’t going anywhere.
Twirling his fingers timidly, he knew better than to argue. Instead he stepped back over to where Kratos could reach him. Nearly tocuning his body with his own. “I know nothing like that comes for free. I’ve heard the stories,” he noted. “So what would I do? Be one of those trophy dogs? Sit in your lap in one of these?” He asked. Stretching the onesie out a bit.
It was then he truly thought about the back zipper. “Please tell me I at least get to pick my clothes out and dress myself.” He added with a little shiver. “And what is thing they put in my neck? It itches.” He referred to that microchip thing that had been implanted on arrival.

Kratos faintly smirks viewing the light red flowing in the child's cheeks. Was he embarrassed or slightly thrilled? He surely wondered. He's never had a human act so, adorable.
Krato rose from the bed not too worried about the little boy wandering or going off. It's a very narrow chance of escaping out of these highly patrolled walls. He pauses, raising his palm to signal the guard. Revealing it was fine and to concern it. He quietly places his hand on his head as Helios strolls by. "You don't want to be a pet? Hmm?" He mutters.
Silly little children rejecting, and being frightened for false reasons. His hand was removed, and set aside. "Helios, it's better not to fight it. But, learn to accept and enjoy what goods come out of it," he suggests but was more like a brainwashing attempt.
Kratos honestly hadn't thought of that. What would he use the young child for? Well, it sure wasn't a sudden thought that came in his mind. But the child gave him a clear plan he decided on. "What a good suggestion!" He calls out, tapping his back. "You can be my personal lap dog."
He comes closer, brushing his finger across his fresh scar. "To ensure you don't get 'lost' when we're out of the palace, or you outside," he explains. "I had it implanted before your arrival here." He didn't answer him on his attire, he figured he would learn on his own.

Damn how did he know?
The ape seemed to talk to him in soft tones though that reminded the disparaged boy of his father. And though he maybe didn’t totally trust him - he had just lost both of his parents - and a kid like Helios who was coddled so long almost was... Intrigued.
“I mean... I guess I’ve got nowhere else to go anyway,” he explained. “I just I don’t know how to even be a... A...”
Wait he has just called him his personal lap dog? Was he serious now? His face scrunched a little, but he tried to keep his composure. “What would I do as a lap dog? Would I really just sit in your lap all day?” He asked curiously. A little nervous.
When he started to touch his naps and scar he swallowed a bit. So there was absolutely no way out then huh? How fun. He was silent after a long moment. “Ok, I’ll do it. I’ll be your lap dog,” he managed after a little nervousness. “When do I start?” He asked, thinking maybe if was like some sort of job? “Maybe I can get out of these before I do.” He added. Still really wanting out of this damn onesie.

Oh yes, Kratos acted on that little downfall to the boy's words.
Continuing to brainwash, and 'groom' the child, Kratos settles his large palms onto Helios's shoulder and drew him back. He descends his head close to his little ear, whispering coolly, enough to send any disturbing chills down the spine. "Exactly, you're better off here, Helios." He tries another approach to draw him closer. "Helios, the mighty sun god, powerful," he utters.
Asking! Perfect. Without another moment, he grasps Helios by the side and hauls him over his shoulder. "I'll show exactly what I mean child. You may dislike it at first, but I assure you, you 'will' stay," the last part was cold. Firing chills to whoever was near.
The patrols released the door, and Kratos scurries right out. Not even glancing behind.
He was quiet until he reaches his desired, most favorable place, his 'throne' room. Where he can feel and act more like a king, than any desired President that the outsiders view him as.
He drops the child on the pristine marble floor, then walks over to his chair, and casually sits into it. He looks over, trying to see if he obeys willingly. "Come here, and I'll show you what I mean."

He felt a chill run down his spine.
Honestly this whole thing scared the poopp out of him. But he did his best to keep his cool, though he could only imagine what being around this guy was going to be like long-term. “What do you mean show-?”
He yelped as he was flopped over the king’s shoulder.
He supposed that was that - no going back now kid. He got a little dizzy as they walked and watched the floor rather calmly before they reached the throne room. He took a moment to gather his bearings as he started all around - still nervous.
When he told him to come over and he noticed him sitting down - he had a feeling exactly what the king wanted. He approached with a great deal of caution before staring at him. “Oh you mean literally... You want me to sit...” he paused a moment. “I mean I um... I guess I can get up there but give me a second..”
It took him a bit of a struggle to pull himself up freely into the king’s Lap. After all the King was a giant. But he finally fell into his lap belly first at his small size. “Oof! Sorry! Sorry!” He said a little fearful. “I’ve never thought about getting into a lap like this before.”

Kratos only chuckled in response when Helios question in curiosity. He wasn't one to describe, but rather reveal. If something isn't done right, then he will show it 'his' way, doesn't matter what.
For a moment he allowed Helios to adjust where he was placed. Kratos was very patient. Just don't take advantage of his patience and all would go well. He didn't think Helios would actually uselessly run, or disobey. However, he views him as a young pup that is still learning.
Yes, oh yes, bring forth the nervousness of climbing up. This poor child is going to have a rude awakening throughout his life with Kratos. Some say they rather be in the palace cells before being his pet. Only those rumors caused Kratos to chuckle. Two simple rules, respect and be respected back. Disobey, be punished.
He bobs his head, "yes, yes, Helios. I actually mean for you to climb in my lap," he states, tapping his own knee that was closet to Helios. "I assure you, my knees don't bite."
Once he plops on, Kratos gently adjusts him on his knee, then pets his head. "Well done, Helios." He congrats, brushing his hair a few times. "How do you like it up here?"

His knees may not bite but he couldn’t imagine his parents would be happy.
He imagined they would be mortified at the thought that their son would decorate the lap of the most powerful ape in Central City. “I just... I guess I never thought that apes actually make humans sit on laps,” he replied honestly. “I thought it was a myth.”
Helios felt himself move and become adjusted on his knee.
It was very high up and intimidating. So much so he backed himself up a little until he was enveloped in red fur and got that feeling of... Warmth? Softness? Somewhere in between? It was bizarre but as he felt this and the gentle petting of his head, he felt oddly...
Soothed.
Like since the first time since his traumatic capture he wasn’t as afraid. “It’s warm and soft,” he admitted - though he felt ashamed to honestly do so. “And you mean to tell me this is what I’ll be doing from now on?” He asked in honesty.
His stomach rumbled after a moment, and he patted it. “Sorry...” he murmured.”I think I’m just nervous.” He added - though really was afraid to ask for anything, including food.

Kratos had pondered for a bit, even if he had instructed Helios to not speak of his past, he might just ask, when Helios is either too exhausted or more comfortable.
A myth? How preposterous! They've been doing this activity for decades. He stroked his head, even applying light pressure. "Ah, Helios, it is surely not a myth. it happens all over the globe."
he noted his freight and gladly took advantage of it. His arms wrapped around his little body, bringing him closer. "No need to have fear. I'm here." he soothingly whispers.
A common thing? Why not. He grins mischievously "Yes, but don't worry. You already like the comfort and my warmth. You seem already accustomed to it."
His ear popped upward, then he rose a brow. What an annoyance of a noise to have ruined this moment. He fakes a smile, nodding. "We shall get you some grub.".

Helios let him have his way with him.
It reminded him of when he was with his mom as a little boy. Being held gently like this. And though he hated the fact that he was there, he did feel a great deal of comfort in it. “It’s very comforting,” he explained. “I was scared when I was first brought here but I feel better... It reminds me of...”
He was silent didn’t want to piss him off.
Now being there always? He wasn’t so sure how he felt about that. He wanted to say no and move but those firm arms held him and made it impossible. “I... i guess it’s not bad if this is what it’s like,” he admitted honestly. “I’ll get used to it.”
When he added his bringing of food, he licked his lips a bit. He was definitely hungry - so if he knew no reason to hide it. “I’m sorry I just haven’t eaten in hours,” he admitted honestly. “Do I have to move for it though? I’m so comfy. Can’t kings like... Have food brought to their throne? I can eat up here. Just need my arms.”
