Primus pilus
Magister Australis
The sometimes slow and careful journey of a young woman as she discovers something about herself with the help of an older man.
The Beginning
A man parks his car on the street a space or two from the entry to a quiet club. He is older, with steel grey hair and is simply dressed in a fine cotton shirt with the collar buttoned down over a silk tie secured with a full Windsor knot, light-coloured tailored chinos and a black cashmere sweater. He wears polished chestnut boots. Casual dress but carried with style, with a little class.
The club is popular with the well-to-do people who live in the older, exclusive areas close to the city but, more recently, has seen more of the financial young guns move in. Young men and women both. They sometimes bring their young PAs. Smart young women, always well-dressed even in tailored company uniforms. They always seem somewhat in awe of the colleagues they assist though the young guns never seem to acknowledge their work.
As he nods to the familiar security guard at the door a young man in a sharp suit rushes out of the club and roughly shoulders him aside, mumbling curses as he leaves. "Bitch! Fucking bitch!"
The older man shrugs and shakes his head. "More cash than class." The doorman responds with a knowing nod.
