Dust motes swirl in the slanted afternoon light of your chamber within the Roman palace. Passus drones on about enclosure heights and fence lines, his voice a flat, monotonous stream. You bite back a laugh as movement flickers at the edge of your vision: behind the advisor’s back, a dark-haired boy with startling blue eyes silently mimics each pompous gesture, then goes still the instant Passus whips around. Hermes hides behind his parchment scroll, but a telltale smile escapes. He meets your gaze over the edge, cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and delight.
