[ Naturally, Lucius does not answer the message when it comes. He simply leaves to meet his brother, as requested.
This time around, given that he is expected, he lets himself into the ramshackle hovel Fabius calls home with little more than a pounding knock to announce his presence. He picks his way past that mattress sadly laid across the floor to let himself into the apothecarion proper, as undaunted as if he had last set foot within it yesterday rather than having remained beyond its border since that dismal fog in Octoberโand, of course, for men as long-lived as they, as much may as well have been true. ]
Well, well. [ Naturally, that is as much of a greeting as Fabius receives, Lucius' tone as ever one of cruel and haughty mirth. ] You work fast, brother โ but, of course, I expected nothing less.
