La Rosa's return could not come fast enough. Lucanis shot the briefest glare at Davrin when Alessa was not looking his way. Sir, is this not beneath you, or something?
"I was quite boring," Lucanis insisted.
"Well behaved," Alessa corrected, reaching out to pat Lucanis on his arm. "Other young men his age, so rowdy, but he was always soft spoken and polite. Thoughtful, too. Once - oh, he could not yet have been twenty, I had to apologize for not having cornettos with the coffee that day because the woman we bought eggs from had to go south to take care of family and I could not find another person at market who wasn't charging exorbitantly for them. Just said he understood and there was no need to apologize - and then comes back an hour later with a basket of eggs and the name of a chicken farmer just outside of town and the days she came into Treviso to sell if that was too far."
Lucanis had far too much self control to blush, but he was quietly dying inside. It would figure she would tell the egg story, it was one of her favorites.
