An Unexpected Reunion

Berengar and Honoria stepped down from the dock and greeted the emissary sent by the Byzantine Crown to welcome their German guests. The man in question was someone that Berengar did not recognize. He appeared to be in his thirties and was fairly tall for an eastern man. The man had light olive skin, brown eyes, and wavy dark hair that fell to his shoulders. He also sported a finely groomed beard, giving him a rather striking appearance.

The fact that Vetranis had sent a stranger to greet Berengar filled his mind with a sense of caution. After all, he and his bride were in Constantinople for a hidden and treacherous purpose that, if revealed, would undoubtedly cause some serious diplomatic issues. However, despite his paranoid thoughts, Honoria seemed to know who this man was and had an over excited expression as she rushed over and into his arms. 

"Uncle Besarion! I thought you were in Georgia. What are you doing here in Constantinople?"
