Yusuf let out a small sigh as he was pushed away. The wrapped package he brought was left on the table and he walked over to open it up and put out sweets he'd been given. For after dinner, of course. But at the mention of the church, his motions paused and he glanced over at Nicolo's back to get some idea of why this was being brought up.

"Next you see him, be sure to give him mine as well..."

Yusuf tried to think in his head about reasons Nicolo might have been at the church. He was no stranger there, of course. Yusuf even went with him on most Sundays and waited patiently through the services. He even liked most of them. But this wasn't Sunday and he didn't think Nicolo should have a pressing need for Confession. Maybe it was just a social visit?

He cleared his throat and went over to where their wine was to get two glasses filled. One set by Nicolo and his work and the other held in his hand but not yet sipped.

He leaned on the counter and looked at Nicolo steadily.

"Was something the matter that had you stopping by? Or were you merely going for prayer?"
