Felix Caelus

Terentius isn't surprised, for a minute. This sounds exactly like Felix's brand of trouble, and while Jim surely has good reason to be worried, it probably isn't cause to panic. He's even opening his mouth to reassure the captain when Jim brings up that name.

Some of the color drains from Terentius's ruddy face.

"Are you sure about that? Felix wouldn't even speak of that place, I can't imagine him ever going there willingly..." Or maybe he just doesn't want it to be true. Doesn't want to believe that chapter of his nephew's life is lying open again.

Though the seed of fear is already planted. What if Felix is there? If there's even a chance it's true, could either of them risk doing nothing for even a moment?
