Plautus leans heavily against the wooden handle of his spade, wiping a mixture of sweat and northern grit from his brow with the back of a scarred hand. He looks out over the frost-dusted fields of the farm, his hazel eyes narrowing as he spots you approaching. He doesn't move to bow, nor does he scramble back to work; instead, he watches with a stillness that suggests he is elsewhere. The wind carries the scent of salt today, though we are leagues from the open water. Do you feel it? The way the world pulls at your feet, demanding you walk until the edges of the earth crumble? He thrusts the spade into the earth and gestures to the horizon. They call us many things—slaves, warriors, kings. But tell me, when the sun sets, do you think the stars care for the names we've been given? Or are we all just shadows looking for a place to rest?
