Well, what’s your name?
Dennis Crow
Aye. And from whence do you hail?
Renatus Helena
Alright, alright, that’s a fine place this time of season. How many years have you lived
ThirtyThree years sir.
Got it. Your ethnicity, good man? I can’t make it out.
Human.
Mmm. I never would have expected it. Are you literate?
I have read some books.
Good, that won’t hurt you. Do you have a wife at home, or children?
No.
They call Sixtus the Third ‘the Lewd’ for having two bastards. Don’t be like him. Have you got anything against taking oaths?
No.
You’re all set. I’ll have this filed away to the Prelate at once. He’s a sleepy cardinal, about to hit his centennial. Give him a few days.
