  1. The robot was shaped like a spider, but with many more than eight arms. Each of those arms ended in seven articulated fingers and a thumb. It was slowly, very slowly, decorating a giant cake to resemble Minas Tirith. Delicate spun-sugar bridges, marzipan cobblestones, buttercream-stuccoed walls.

    "Wow!" said Arielley. "It's going to be amazing when it's finished."

    "Yeah, but I wouldn't #vouch for its edibility. The robot's been working on it for two years," said Darrin.

    When we reached the top of the stairs, the scholar gestured to the left and stopped in front of a door. “The Delphinas’ are charitable. I must, however, look after my charge’s virtue. Do you have someone who can #vouch for you?”

    “There is a monk at St. George’s Shrine,” I said. “I don’t know his name, but he can speak for me. And of course…” I reached into my robe and was relieved to feel a parchment I had just manifested. “A letter of introduction,” I said.

    I proffered the missive to the man, and he glanced at it before returning it.

    “I am humbly grateful for your master’s hospitality and will impose as little as possible,” I said. “I must leave tonight for the shrine. As Christ is my witness, you don’t need to worry about my bringing harm to the household.”

    “You are a Frank?” The implications of the question hung in the air.

    I touched a strand of blond hair that had escaped my cowl. “I am. There is a small community of us in Marseilles.”

    “Then you are lucky to come so close to hearing the true word. Better an Egyptian Christian than a Latin. The Franks are Christians, but have strayed far; barbarians. Pray that Theotokos will guide your path to the full truth.”

    “I will, brother, and that you may be #saved.”

    With those sparring words between individuals of divergent faiths, we parted. My story had held up.
