Summary
Scholar of ancient history/Scholar in enemy land with whom they correspond
For ancient history, we have ancient alphabets. For an enemy land, I think borders and alliegiances changed so often that no one is really sure who or what was the enemy. But we have scholars and correspondence and a slowly blooming romance which no one really saw coming.

“What may I do for you, Sir Knight?”
“My name is Vanec, good smith. I would much rather leave the formality at court, if that does not offend you.”
Grieg nodded, approving.
“Most here call me Grieg,” he said. “I avoid court as much as I can."
“A sensible decision.” Vanec hefted a large canvas bag up into Grieg’s line of sight. “In here is my old breastplate. It took a hit a few weeks back and I would very much appreciate it if you could straighten it out for me.”
