Aurum seems about to say something, but as she opens her mouth the door is opened and jerked inward. Aegis looks up.

"Oh, hey! 'Scuse me, 'scuse me," she squeezes past Jorge and out onto the veranda. She goes up to Aurum.

"Okay. Sorry.  Got caught up helping Antionette.  You ready?"

As Aegis is talking, Aurum reaches down to a chair and unwraps some cloth around a bundle. It's a belt, frog, and a court sword. A real one. About this time, Jorge notices that Aurum is still dressed in practical outdoor clothing.

As Aegis is done, Aurum finishes buckling the belt and adjuting the weight. "Yes, I am. You lead." Aegis takes off the veranda, and with one last look at Jorge, Aurum takes off behind her.

Inside, I'm in the front room, by myself. A roaring fire is in the fireplace, and I'm flipping through the pages of a large, old book.
