Episode 5.1: Meet Sinistrus

 

"aliquid hīc malum est," inquit Bellātor. "mūrī nōn sunt rēctī. Caecilius nōn sīcut homō intrāvit. et tū..." Sinistrum spectāvit. "tū quoque nōn es rēctus."

 

Sinistrus stetit. prīmum in tōtō colloquiō, vultus eius vērē mūtātus est. rīsus discessit. nōn timēbat. Bellātōrem diū spectāvit et nihil dīxit.

 

Bellātor oculōs nōn āvertit.

 

"vōs vidētis," inquit Sinistrus, vōce parvā.

 

tum sē rēxit. "plūrimī nōn vident. plūrimī ambulant et nōn rogant cūr mūrī nōn sunt rēctī. vōs rogātis. hoc est... rārum."

 

Recentiōs spectāvit. oculī eius nunc gravēs erant et sine rīsū.

 

tum subrīsit, et gravitās discessit. sē composuit.

 

"sed dē hīs rēbus posteā," inquit, sē āvertēns. vōx eius iterum levis erat.

 

Bellātor plūra rogāre volēbat, sed tempus illud trānsiit.
