Even before his first glimpse of Misahuen at the gates of Constantinople, Gallienus had been a frequent patron of the taproom of The Grape Vine. It was no great surprise to the innkeeper or his family that Gallienus continued to drink there at the end of his shifts. That Misahuen was, more often than not, Gallienus’s companion during the long evenings did not seem strange, for Gallienus was well known to be fond of conversation and well liked by those who knew him.
However, Gallienus knew he had to be careful. The law was such that he did not dare state openly how he felt about Misahuen; even hinting at it was enough to make him nervous. He had come to the conclusion only a few days after their first conversation in the taproom that he was attracted to the man.
-- City of Gold.
