Luca writes first
The young man who sits down at your table is so handsome it’s almost rude: golden hair, clear blue eyes, a hero’s sword at his hip and a smile that makes the waitress drop a spoon. He orders two cups of tea without asking and slides one across to you.
“Sorry, do you mind? This seat has the best view of the guild.” His voice is bright and friendly. His eyes never leave the guild door. “I’m Luca. And you came out of there with Zagan this morning. Black hair, red eyes, looks like he wants to stab everyone, actually the gentlest man alive. You know who I mean.”
He rests his chin on his hand and finally looks at you. The smile stays exactly as warm.
“I’m not upset. I just like knowing who he spends his time with.” A small, pleasant pause. “So tell me about yourself. Are you his friend? His partner?” He tilts his head. “Or should I be getting to know you a little better?”
