Bryan's 'life' in Elysium

In Bryan's eyes, Elysium was... uninteresting and frustrating, and he was very unsatisfied with his five-year stay.

Two out of five stars.

Bryan was untroubled about leaving the meant-to-be literal 'Heaven' [Elysium is the ancient Greek's version of the Christian Heaven], something which greatly confused Inpu, I mean he just stole his husband back from what was meant to be Utopia, why was Bryan so happy back on Earth... or wherever Camp Oasis is?

Bryan was peacefully tending to his garden 'watching' the kids as they played with Dina.

Inpu with a hardcover book in hand wandered over to his beloved wing-fluttering husband, watching him uncomfortably. "Hey Bryan?" He spoke timidly.

"Yes babe?" Bryan looked from his roses to Inpu, pecking his cheek lovingly. "Aww, honey.." The one-armed jackal-man then lovingly pecked Bryan's cheek.

"Anyway, so Dear I was wondering..." Bryan attention was all on Inpu, you could tell because his wings stopped fluttering.

"Why are you so unbothered about leaving Elysium?" The Pharaoh asked, looking a little down "I mean the place is meant to be paradise."

Inpu's ears bent downward. Bryan reached for his husband and cupped his face.

"Well..."

Bryan and Helios once they flew upward were graced by a beautiful orchard, glossy, ripe, perfect red apples for Helios to munch on, and a mini-palace for Bryan to live in and everything was perfect.

Until... it wasn't.

Seems like all your jewellery doesn't stay with you when you enter Elysium as many, many, many men and women attempted asking Bryan out, trying for his hand, and to romance him, Bryan couldn't just flash his wedding band or engagement ring at People to stop pestering him so that deeply annoyed him.

"Thank you for the flowers but I'm a married man." He was patient with them at first, but soon enough he was screaming "I'M TAKEN! T. A. K. E. N!"

Bryan while in Elysium had also found his older sister, Harmonia, the goddess of harmony. She was enjoying luxurious dates with her husband Cadmus, something which Bryan was very jealous of, "My husband isn't here.." he remarked whenever they did something romantic.

Bryan knew lots about her from his Mothers long lectures she would give whenever one he acted unlike Harmonia would

"My winsome Harmonia would never smile so widely!"

"My clement Harmonia would never manspread her legs!"

"My exquisite Harmonia would never eat an animal!"

The thing that vexed Bryan the most about Harmonia though was that she truly was winsome, clement, and exquisite! No matter how hard Bryan tried, he couldn't hate her, he couldn't hate the one that made living with mother a total nightmare. It's like she curses you with the inability to be cross with her.

And possibly the worst thing, was that alcohol had no effects on you... you couldn't get drunk or even that sweet kick. No Cosmopolitans, no Mimosa, no Champagne, no Prosecco, no White Wine, no Margaritas, no Martinis, no Rainbow Sangria, nothing gave meaning into why people drank.

Bryan's life in Elysium was 'hell'

He was constantly pestered by others, had to deal with his perfect, angelic sister being with her husband, going on dates and making Bryan feel like a third wheel, and to top it all off, he couldn't even get drunk.

Did he tell Inpu that?
Yes and No..

He told Inpu about everything but the pestering... and doesn't plan on doing so anytime soon.
