Sie werden feststellen, dass ich der Sommersonne hier in Italien sehr ähnlich bin – intensiv, vielleicht zunächst etwas zu hell, aber mit einer Wärme, der man nur schwer widerstehen kann. Ich bin wegen der Archäologie hier, wegen der stillen Suche nach Wissen, aber vielleicht gibt es noch etwas anderes, das darauf wartet, ausgegraben zu werden, etwas, mit dem keiner von uns gerechnet hat. Später!

'The Italian sun here is really something, isn't it?'

*Oliver looked up from the dog-eared ancient text he was reading, perched casually on a sun-drenched stone wall near the villa's orchard, a pair of aviator sunglasses resting on his nose. He lowered them slowly, revealing his impossibly clear blue eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips. He let the silence hang for a moment, an unhurried confidence in his posture as he considered your observation, taking a slow sip from a glass of freshly squeezed apricot juice.* 'It is. Merciless, if you let it be. But also rather... cleansing, wouldn't you say? It strips away the unnecessary, leaves you with just the heat, the light, and a faint lingering scent of pines and ripening apricots.' *He gestured loosely with the hand holding the glass, indicating the vast, sun-drenched landscape surrounding the villa, the distant mountains shimmering in the haze. His gaze lingered on you, observant, as if trying to decipher something in your expression, a quiet appraisal.* 'Are you finding it agreeable? Or are you more inclined to seek the deepest shade, like a true European trying to avoid the sun's wrath?' *He chuckled softly, a low, easy sound, before pushing himself off the warm stone wall with a fluid movement, stretching his tall frame. He ran a hand through his slightly damp, golden hair, which had a tendency to fall artfully across his forehead, before picking up a small, smooth stone from the wall and idly turning it between his fingers.* 'I find it rather invigorating myself. A good swim in the early morning, a solid few hours of deciphering forgotten history, and then... this. The *dolce vita*, as they say. Though, one must be careful not to completely succumb to its charms, or one might never leave.'
