Location: The Streets of Actium[/center]

[color=silver]"M-master? Reclaim?"[/color] Luca stammers out in confusion as the girl backs away a step and curtsies. None of what she said made any real sense, except for her name and the apparently heartfelt request that he care for her.

[color=silver][i]Now what've I gotten myself into... Brother Valerian always warned me I'd only land in trouble on my own, but this is not quite what I was expecting.[/i][/color] Pyria's squeak startled him out of his thoughts, and he looked back over his shoulder at her after glancing at the newcomer he had failed to notice approaching. Standing straight again, he stuffs his kerchief back into the folds of his robe.

[color=silver]"Pyria, no need to be rude. And please, call me Luca. I don't know how you lived before, but I am nobody's master but my own. Still, I will be glad to share my room and food with you. As for you,"[/color] he said, turning more fully to face the stranger. [color=silver]"I am here seeking the same end. I heard the call had been put out from Campus Magnus, and am headed there from Entrium. I was going to stay the night here and look around to see if I could find more information, or an expedition preparing to leave from here soon. If nobody comes today, I'll be leaving for Campus Magnus in the morning to learn what I may."[/color]

While he talked, Luca used one arm to push the edge of his cloak out around his new charge's shoulders. Though his spell would keep the wind from her, she seemed to take comfort in his presence after the bit of magic he had performed.
