"Illigitimi non carborundum," Claudia murmured, just loud enough for Gabriel to possibly hear. She knew it was nonsense in 'real' Latin, but what the hell, right?
Still, she didn't exactly protest to being lead down the street on a chain like some dangerous animal. From the descriptions she'd managed to translate into something resembling English, she was pretty sure she was considered just that. A barbarian wonder from distant lands. There were a couple of times she ended up tugging on her end, like when she would have had to follow him through some kind of stinking offal in front of the butcher's and other noxious things that people barely seemed to notice. Most of the city was clean, though, at least cleaner than most might expect. She just had no idea what her place might be in it until she could get back to where she belonged.
