Surrender
Italy shot up like a scraggly weed, a young man's gangly limbs obvious under the frocks Austria gave him, and now dons his own breeches. He worries he won't be recognized, won't be visible; untying the kerchief that covers his hair—a servant still—he waves the standard.
Blond hair and blue eyes separate from the mélange and stride to meet him, but it's France.
Even a plain maid can't miss the whispered rumors in the house, but Italy says nothing, his silence a truce. The kerchief flutters from numb fingers like a peace offering, a white flag of surrender.
