 [i]"Hi, Alex. What you've got the Greeks learning today? Swordfighting? Athenian history?" began Katie, then she looked down at the sheets and answered her own question. "Ugh. Latin. Gods save me, but I have no skill whatsoever with languages."[/i]

'What's wrong with a bit of Latin in the afternoon?' he replied his smile even wider, than before. 'Are you sure I can't tempt you into joining us?' he continued, before turning to pour wine from a amphorae into several goblets and offering one to Katie.
