Q&A
🕑 Added 2022-10-31 15:07:02 +0000 UTCHi! So sorry I took my time with this one, I was kinda exhausted by the update release. ❤ Thank you for your patience! 😊 (These are always a joy to write, such a chaotic bunch they are.)
X: Welcome to the bimonthly session of Q&A. Legate is joining us today, let's start with him. Legate, could you tell me what you really think about your marriage and Camilla?
Legate looks at Camilla.
L: She needed someone to take her away from Rome. I needed someone to keep me company.
M: So, she's your pet?
L: Son, be quiet.
Marcus pouts.
L: She can be a pain in the ass.
Camilla frowns.
L: Erm, but I'm absolutely delighted by her presence.
X: Camilla, could you please describe your perfect date?
C: First, leave your husband at home.
Camilla snorts.
Legate pouts.
T: Cam, Gaius is right there.
C: I said what I said.
N: Oh! I would like to attend a play.
X: And romantically hold hands during suspenseful bits?
Niall nods firmly.
M: I would like to attend a poetry reading. Then, we'd talk about the quality of the piece over a goblet of wine.
C: Pfft.
M: Did I hear something?
X: Now now, no fighting.
T: My dream date would be… attending an execution.
Everyone but Camilla: …?!
T: Haha, I'm only joking. They are interesting, though. Showcases people's fascination with the dark side of humanity.
X: So, not your idea of an ideal date?
T: No, it would only sour the mood.
Q: My ideal date would be in Caledonia, as far away from here as possible.
X: Doing what?
Q: Whatever the MC likes to do.
M: coughsuck-upcough
X: Niall, what do you remember most vividly about your time in Hibernia?
Niall frowns.
N: My family. Family dinners.
Marcus shifts his foot to lean against Niall's.
X: Camilla, what about you? What do you miss most from home?
C: My family.
Camilla and Niall share a little nod.
X: What is your biggest flaw?
T: I've been told that I fear commitment. I'm not so sure, I just like to travel and help people.
C: Tin, I think they're onto something…
T: Hm. I'm not sure if I see it.
Tinsae smiles.
Camilla frowns.
N: Well, I for one think that people-pleasing is not a flaw.
M: It is.
N: But if it helps people?
M: It is if you do it at your own expense.
Niall pouts.
X: What about you, Marcus?
M: I have no flaws.
Camilla scoffs.
M: Well, I have been told that I'm cruel and selfish and… what else?
L: You hold grudges for a long time.
M: Shut up.
T: You're awfully rude at times.
M: Tinsae, you too?
T: I'm sorry, dear.
M: Your best friend here is the rudest of them all.
T: Well, she told me she's working on it.
C: No, I'm not.
Tinsae purses her lips.
C: My biggest flaw is that I care too much for my family. In a sense, I love too much.
Marcus starts laughing.
M: You're rude, condescending, arrogant, cold—
C: I hardly think that—
M: Dad, help me out.
L: You're quite easily angered and hold grudges for a long time.
Camilla squints her eyes at the Legate.
L: Oh, dear.
Q: I hold grudges, too. And care too much.
Quinn and Camilla share a nod.
X: That's great. Finally, Tinsae, what is your favorite part of Roman life?
T: I find the legal system fascinating. And their acceptance of foreign religions and cultures is endearing.
MC: Such acceptance! First, they invade everyone and then they act like they accept them. Second-class citizenship—
X: MC? Shoo! You're not supposed to be here!
MC flees the scene.
