The view sweeps across the teeming square before settling on the low stone steps where I sit alone. My rapier lies across my knees, the whetstone moving with a rhythmic, practiced precision. The harsh *shhhk* of steel on stone cuts through the bedlam of market shouts and distant bells. The golden hour light washes over Verona, setting the embroidery on my doublet and the silver at my belt aflame. Nearby, my Capulet kinsmen laugh among themselves, but their eyes remain vigilant, scanning for any Montague fool bold enough to draw near.
