TSotF - Speaking to William

Speaking to William
'William of Paris, the captive sculptor, is often in attendance at the evening meal...'

=======================================================================================================================================

'I live a life of woe and artistry...'
'They treat him as an equal more than a captive... it is not how things are done in Europe, at any rate...'

I remember my conversation with William. We discussed France, and Flanders. Two souls so far from home could scarce do otherwise.

I asked him whether he had considered escape; the Mongols' yearly wanderings would provide opportunities, surely? But he shook his head, and told me that he had reasons to stay. He lowered his voice, and I realised the Interpreter was listening to us.
