This week's theme is conversation.

 

"I cannot say another word.  And none must know I was here today.  All our futures ride upon our agreed silence.  I overstep my own family's confidence when I take your's into mine.  I cannot say more," he emphasized slowly.  

 

Agistino's mouth remained open, a gaping hole from which disbelief silently flew.  The two men stared at each other for some time.  Finally Agistino spoke very quietly.

 

"If we say nothing, act as if nothing has occurred, all will be well?"

 

The other master slowly nodded his head and repeated, "I cannot say more."
