Cécile Beauchesne

"Cece! You wound me! I’m a very productive individual…you know, on me good days."

"Right. And what is today? A good or bad day?"

Yes, stop doing that. Come have coffee with me instead, and tell me what you've been up to? I feel like it's been forever.

"Course. Plenty of lasses around Rome to head up the brothel. Although, none haven’t picked up my interest yet. I’ll be sure to find some good ones for Sahara when I can."

"That's good. Just wanted to make sure you weren't just hanging around, doing nothing."

Are you sure? Was someone here or something?

No.. I- I didn’t see anything. 

Gemma...?What's going on? Are you okay?

"I feel like I need to puke."

"Okay, that's not good - I'll get you some water. What happened?"

"Yes? What is it?"

"I just came to get an update on things. Any new possible recruits?"

So what brings you here, Ava? Taking a day off?

"It does appear I am a bit far from home. I have lived here though for a little while now, so I don’t think I’d quite consider myself a tourist any longer."

"Oh, I'm sorry! I don't know why I keep assuming people who aren't from here must be tourists. What brings you to Rome then? If you don't mind me asking, of course."

Is that unusual, or..?

I would say so. This place is usually packed with people. I wonder if they got a bad health review or something, and now people are too scared to eat here.... I hope that's not it.
