[uncourteous]

[ modesty was truly such a fascinating concept. sometimes callisto would wonder if there was a point to possessing such a quality. was there significance behind masking ones pride? or was there a reason to shift ones dress, speech, or even conduct to match the pace of those around them who lived unassumingly, almost as if they were ordered to live, toil, and die as mice rather than as men? he certainly didn’t think so.

so, he perpetuated the belief that he would behave no less than what he felt was appropriate for his station.

except, in this world, royalty didn’t exist within the same capacity. but, wealth probably spoke an equally powerful tale. being the son and supposed heir to one of the largest conglomerates meant that callisto desired for nothing growing up. that is, nothing tangible at least. from a relatively young age, he swiftly realized that people often used that phrase— “desired for nothing” in place of being entirely devoid of wants and needs. it isn’t that they don’t have them, but they’re not allowed to put into words the things that others may have asked for so freely, whether it be time, affection, or even bonds. regardless, he considered himself fortunate enough to have lived to the age he has. the inner politics of the family tree aside, he did take great pride in building his name, and the company.

enough so that he barely had time to consider anything else. sometimes having an objective made the world around you easier to navigate, or at least it kept your vision boxed in and limited. despite this, he did have his own ways of garnering some semblance of entertainment within the drudgery of his everyday life. spending time amongst his wonderful subordinates, for example. you could literally ignore everything i wrote before this...

if there is any one single rule that was likely true of any workplace. it’s that the boss or in this case ceo was the person you wanted to avoid at all costs. the less contact, the better; the easier it was to breathe, or feel the heavy burden of expectation on ones back. callisto knows this, naturally, and that’s what he likes. the tension. the clear fact that no one will speak up against him, and yet there was one individual in which he couldn’t entirely wrap his brain around…

zagreus.

there was something unique about him that he couldn’t quite place his finger on. even his application had struck a healthy level of suspicion from him. but, perhaps that’s why he kept him close. except, instead of feeling out that he was an industry spy planted within the company, he gets the feeling that the man was far too…

simple for that.

but, does this mean he would stop testing him and all his limits? absolutely not. today, just like any other day, why the fuck did i write so much just for yaoi, please help me— he types away at his computer, sending zagreus a microsoft teams message. ]

It makes me wonder how long I have to wait to see my own employee’s face.

The documents should have been hand-delivered to my office three minutes ago.

[ even if he may have only sent this email request like five minutes ago and it’s a 70 page documents. he’s hr’s nightmare, though so protocol means very little against his demands, all the more when he feels like zagreus won’t exactly deny him. yikes. ]
