A tent is pitched along one of the roads leading to Firenze. Shabby, dilapidated, and entirely unpleasant looking, no brigand or traveler takes notice of, or attempts to enter, it, and all give it a rather wide berth.

An envoy struggling to find Nicolaus his tent, walks right over the mans bag.

A representative of duke Robert of Saxony arrives, looking for Nicolaus.
Nicolaus, harried, welcomes him in.
"What would you have of me?"
The man smiles.
Mein Herr, I would like to know what projects you are currently working on.

"This and that. It wouldn't be very interesting for a well-armed traveler as yourself, really."
The man smirks
Oh but it would. Pray tell.
"Biology, geography, history...words are my trade and scholarship my profession," Nicolaus says carefully. "But where are my manners, signore! Please, sit down. I would break bread with you."
The man takes a seat, still smiling.
Nicolaus reaches into one of his packs and, withdrawing a husk of bread, breaks it in two and offers the larger piece to his visitor.
The man takes it with a nod of gratitude, and nibbles upon it slowly.
Nicolaus eats with gusto.
The man spoke kindly.
So, could you give me an example of a project you are working on?

"Working on? Ah, panie, there is always work to be done. Places to go, books to read...well, why not. This is a page from a history of the Ottonian dynasty I'm currently contributing to."
OOC: That's for Pinkerton. PINKIE? Can I call him that
