The silence stretched until it felt like a physical weight pressing down on my shoulders. Finally, Armano's weathered face broke into what might have been called a smile, though it held no warmth."Interesting," he said, his voice carrying across the assembled family with the authority of a man accustomed to absolute obedience.
