Hora Decima

Vitas slipped into the tavern where he’d met Nerva, near the forum. This time, he truly was tempted to drink beer, even knowing the quality was questionable. It had been a hard, fast march to get here from the villa, and his feet hurt. During those delightful months in Alexandria with Sophia and his new child, his excursions had been limited to chasing the baby around a shadow-dappled garden.

Drinking beer would take time, however, and he felt like he couldn’t even spare the leisure to gulp any down. Instead, he inquired whether a letter had been delivered for Sophia.

The woman who answered his question was huge, with a face smeared with paint in an attempt to pass herself off as someone a decade or two younger. “You don’t look like a Sophia to me.”

“See if this has any resemblance to the woman who sent me,” Vitas said. He opened his hands to show a glint of gold. “If there is enough similarity, you’ll get this in exchange for the letter.”

The woman cackled. “For that, I’ll swear you look like Nero himself, if you were suicidal enough to want that. And I’d be happy to throw in a little extra. Plenty extra, if large women are your taste.”

“Sophia’s a jealous woman,” Vitas said, putting a rueful grin on his face. “And she wants me to return with her letter as soon as possible.”

“Pity.”
