(Three days have passed since his arrival. Three days spent in confinement while he recovers from...something. He recalls white powder on his fingertips - Patroclus would know the name of it - but that's all. Now he is in his benefactor's wing. Vannozza Spina.

As ever, he is blunt.)

I do not care for this welcome. (It feels like a ploy to pull the wool over his eyes. Achilles has never fallen for ploys and he won't start now.) This is where I introduce myself. I am Achilles Peleides and if you are at war, show me where the men are fighting.

(He will drink wine and party after.)

I did rather step in that one, didn't I?

[ Usually he was a good deal more cagey when it came to admitting things like time travel. This was not the best time to be getting complacent... ]

Yes, alright. Consider it another riddle. Who can speak with the dead before they have died? Only please don't feel there is a need to answer it. It won't do us any good here.

You fell in it.

(And he won't be forgetting. Achilles sinks his teeth into the truth and never lets it go.)

Who can speak to the dead before they have died? If they haven't died, the answer would be the living, would it not?

[ Fell in it... He will just be over here breathing a deep sigh to himself. ]

Indeed it would. And how could I possibly have met you in my past, which for you would be your future, if both of us were very much alive at the time? Now there's a riddle for you!
