“Another arrow flew through the air, nearly above my head. I ducked as it hit the thigh of the Praetor who had gotten closest to me.
“I have enough arrows for all of you!” Aurelia yelled out. So she was still here, somewhere in the vineyard ahead of me. It must’ve taken her time to locate another bow. I was never sure how she seemed to find them everywhere when I had yet to find a single weapon simply lying around for the taking.”

“It took several minutes before I was strong enough to say more than a few words of welcome to Aurelia. She returned my gratitude by saying, “You both are going to smell horrid, and now I’ll smell too. Honestly, Nic, I’m beginning to wonder what your attraction is to sewage.”
“It’s not what attracts me down here as much as what repels me up there,” I said. Despite being covered in filth I didn’t even want to think about, I felt only happiness for being here now. This was the second time the Cloaca Maxima had saved my life. And much more than the second time that Aurelia had come to save me.
I stood and helped Livia to her feet. She was obviously disgusted by the smells around us, but hid her revulsion as well as anyone could. When she faced Aurelia, I made the introductions.
“Your brother has told me so much about you,” Aurelia said with a polite bow to Livia.
Livia bowed back. “And the same for you. From Nic’s descriptions, I feel as if I already know you.”
“He described me?” Aurelia glanced my way with a broad grin. I felt myself blushing and hoped it wasn’t visible in the torchlight.
“This is a terrible place for such silly talk,” I said. “Let’s go.”
Aurelia and Livia began walking, with me trailing them. “What did Nic say about me?” Aurelia asked.
“That you’re loud and you ask too many questions,” I replied before Livia could speak.
Livia giggled. “No, that wasn’t it.”
Then Aurelia giggled too, which left me thoroughly confused. What did giggling mean anyway? It sounded happy, but it certainly wasn’t making me feel any better. Considering they had just met, what unspoken joke could they already have in common?
Oh. It was me.”
