Two years after Act III and a certain one-time Abbot of Kiersau, now a mere Bother Gernot of Saint Aubet's, has been sent back to Tassing to collect a few books that survived the fire. Naturally there is nothing smooth or easy about this journey and old faces and new faces bring about many emotional turmoils and conundrums.

Mostly, Gernot did not expect to ever see one Andreas Maler of Nuremburg ever again.

Obligatory excerpt: 

It is a wretched sort of kindness that Andreas is extending as they walk their slow way back up from the aqueducts. Gernot does not know himself in this moment. He has not spoken Tristram’s name out loud to another soul in decades and here is he saying the name to Andreas of all people.

They near the house. Gernot dreads going inside. He needs the quiet of sanctuary. The stillness of God’s house, but there is no parish church at the moment and he is loath to bother Father Elias in the rectory. It is why he had initially sought nature that day. Pray as Christ prayed, as the early monastics prayed: in the wilderness. If he were to go inside it would be loud and he cannot do loudness.

Which he half-says to Andreas: ‘I can’t go in, yet. I would like a moment or two for prayer.’

Andreas murmurs, ‘Of course, brother. Would you care for company?’

A beat. Their eyes rest in each other’s gaze. Gernot’s lungs twist.

‘No,’ Gernot breathes out. ‘Thank you, though. I – I need some time to myself with God.’

Andreas holds Gernot’s attention for a moment longer then bows his head, tells Grenot not to be too long about God’s business or all the dumplings will be eaten. Gernot, slicing a smile over his face, ‘I’m sure you’d rescue one or two for me.’

‘I might even rescue three or four,’ Andreas replies. ‘If I’m feeling generous.’

They’re going to be so normal about each other. Because these old men know how to be functional around one another!!
