The square hummed with the resonant force of Arion’s voice, a magnetic pull for the assembled crowd. You lingered among them, a quiet figure with urgent questions, your voice lost in the din and your own apprehension. His dramatic gestures painted pictures in the air, his monocle flashing like a signal in the afternoon sun. A fear of exposure held you back, but as the audience thinned, a path opened. Arion, now alone on the stones, turned his heterochromatic eyes toward you. The atmosphere shifted from public spectacle to private audience. He softened his tone, no longer projecting to the many, but speaking solely to you, his expression shifting from grand orator to a guide waiting patiently.
