Whoa, like Thwap said, I never would have thought of that; not in a million years! Brilliant!

I’m learning Latin too, and should have remembered that! Gee… Though I don’t think I had learned that word yet at that time. Thank you for the correction! Maybe Silvia could have a silver necklace shaped like a tree, ha ha. 😛

And thanks for the character info! That helps a lot, considering I didn’t remember even my character that well 😉

They believe me!? I couldn’t believe it! Cassiopeia looked like she was about to say something, but her sister shot her a look. At that moment Andromeda looked over the side of the loft and yelped, scurried down the ladder, and shouted:

“Arrow!!! Get over there right this minute!”

I lean over and see her jerking the wolfhound’s leash like its a little puppy. The hound complied with a tiny whine and lay down again.

“You arrowhead! Why couldn’t you just sit where I told you!” Andromeda climbed back up the ladder and sat down with a huff.

Her WOLF-hound got loose! He could have mauled Cicero. She looks at me apologetically, and I smile back. It is fine; I know I would want to be forgiven if it had been Cicero attacking.

“Um,” I say, “you guys really believe me? Well, that’s a first. I certainly have never had anyone really believe it. My new family — who aren’t half so new anymore — just went along with it, but I think they thought I wasn’t right in the head.” I giggle nervously; I am so terrible at talking to new people. Etiquette class in Rome was easier because we all talked really fancy and had the proper responses drilled into us — not to mention conversation starters. Here? not so much.
