Kha. The Nuncio we await? What brings you back

From Rhodes, Sir Loys?

Loys. How you island-tribe

Forget the world's awake while here you drowse!

What brings me back? What should not bring me, rather!

Our Patriarch's Nuncio visits you to-day—

Is not my year's probation out? I come

To take the knightly vows.

Kha. What's that you wear?

Loys. This Rhodian cross? The cross your Prefect wore.
