“I wanted no more than to know of your name,” he replied, quiet as always. He drank of the cup Pio had left, before continuing,
“You are hiding, and I will not press you to know what or whom you hide from for that is not my way, but might I know where it is you travel from? I do not recognise you, although I may know those you know or knew."
Sitting forward from the shadows that had been cast upon his hooded face he looked at her with a piercing gaze. His face remained expressionless.
“You remind me of someone although I do not recognise yourself. I will question you no further and you are not bound to answer anything you do not wish, but I will advise you; if you want to continue to go unnoticed, don’t use your weapons to ward others off.”
With that he returned to the shadows, watching and awaiting any answers she might wish to give.
