I love the details, and "the look of intertwined hope and fear on his visitor’s face." and the note that Relius recognizes Telius's handwriting, and also, "copied in a hand he knows as well as his own and has never seen turned to such soft sweetness as the verses within."
And Teleus, making the first move with poetry, and then Relius pressing forward (the last line, omg)--and how it all truly feels like a moment in a long friendship already filled with intimacy and respect.
