Razor's Edge

When the man spoke to him in Italian, Basileus, in shock, almost fell over. His expression brightened in obvious interest and he turned to face the stranger fully. He wasn't one for overt displays of emotion, so while he was excited, he didn't get anywhere close to going overboard. Basil smiled warmly at the stranger before replying, "Sì e sono felice di sentire di nuovo!" Hearing his language, not in fragments but in full, fluent sentences, was music to his ears. "E 'passato troppo tempo." The man's apparent fluency had Basileus wondering. His accent was very different, but they were definitely speaking the same language. Was it established here? Were there communities, whole packs, of italians? The idea of his people and culture living here excited him. This was the second person he'd spoken to who knew some amount of Italian. Surely Enrico had met similar success. Perhaps he'd even found comfort in those people. Maybe he lingered with them. He studied the man carefully. "Mi chiamo Basileus. E 'molto bello conoscerti, amico mio, davvero molto bella." Indeed it was. This man could - and he was aware he was putting quite a bit of hope on the possibility - be the key to finding his man. |
