Aphra Behn | Aphra Behn paces on the deck of the ''Queen Christina'', no wind in the ship's sails on its trip from France to London. At the Ratcatcher-Serjeant's suggestion, she decides to bring food to their prisoner, the Magus. As she enters his room, he remembers her from those years prior at Salomon's House, though she aged and he stands unchanged. As the Magus eats and stretches his legs, the pair discuss a few things, the constants of his worldview. Liberty, leveling, love. Love becomes a topic of some disagreement between the pair, and as they discuss it they give into lust. Certainly not love. | ||
Aphra returns to the deck | Aphra returns to the deck, finding rain and wind awaiting her, as well as a female figure across the grey backdrop, Larissa. | ||
