Menelaus picks up/holds Odysseus to keep him from picking fights/trying to kill people who piss him off. Especially during the war. He does it for others' safety and to comfort his bro. Menelaus is pretty good about self-control while Odysseus isn't. :P This is especially the case with Palamedes

Helen? She picks up Penelope simply because she finds it funny. She just wants to see her tiny cousin get mad.

"HELEN! Helen! Put me down! For fuck's sake, Why do you always do this?! This isn't funny! HELEN!"

Until Penelope just kicks behind her to get Helen to drop her. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#not me basing my writing on my own experiences. no wayyyyyyyy #she's probably my favorite cousin btw :D #the one who used to do this to me all time #As Penelope gets older she gets better about avoiding this >:) #this is random and silly but I had to do it. About to put an angst post out now. and then try and finish that ask!!! #And yes. Helen and Menelaus can pick each other up😤 It's part of the reason why they work so well together. #Penelope would probably have more trouble holding up Odysseus for a long (and probably not completely off ground for long) #but she uses water too. >:) 'You think you're tough shit. goat boy?
