Aurelius

*slowly emerges from under the table* Can I come out now? *reaches a hand toward him*

*catches her hand* Come here.

*lets him pull me to my feet* You sure you're not hurt? *runs hands over his arms, checking*

*he is arguing with your father who refuses to pay his debt to Aurelius but he notices you hiding behind the door*come on out little one i'm not going to hurt you but i can't have you ease dropping on me

*The door opens, and she walks out, standing nervously in front of him. She is blind, her eyes covered with dark glasses.*

*He approaches her cautiously, not wanting to startle her. He notices her blindfold and realizes she can't see him. He speaks softly.* "I'm not going to hurt you, I promise. What's your name?"
