<div class="floatright">(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/Amplus/2385788281_small_2.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Gaius<br/><strong>Designation:</strong>Medicus<br/><strong>Location:</strong>In Barcino, on Route to Ludus Leonis Scopulus Tarraconensis<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Valoria<br/><br/><br/><br/>He drank wine until the early hours of the morning to ease the frustration of the less than competent skills of the female slaves he had taken to his bed. They were not awful but he had to admit, as he took another glassful of wine from the jug, that he was used to a more skilled individual to satisfy his needs. Luckily for him the more he drank the less he cared and the last thing he remembered was them allowing him to fall into a daze while they attended to one another.<br/><br/>By morning he awoke, alone, with the sun burning into the room, which did not help his headache and dry mouth. After a few moments, he looked down and could see that he had been stripped of his clothes, which interested him as concern began to build in his mind. They have stolen my clothes, he thought, until finally on further inspection, after rubbing his eyes, he noticed that they had been neatly placed on the chair by the door. He tried to get up and then it hit him. The stabbing pain in his brain from drinking too much knocked him back onto the bed. He grabbed a goblet of water, clumsily knocking to the ground.<strong> “Damn”</strong>he barked as he tried to look for another chalice.<strong>“I’m getting to old for this shit”</strong>he commented to himself as he poured another goblet of water, once he had wiped it clean.<br/><br/>When his mouth felt less like a bear’s backside and more like its usual soft and moist environment he was used to, Gaius sat up from the bed, holding his head in his hands. A few deep breathes later, he was up and standing, heading over to the chair to get dressed. As he got dressed, he considered what the girls lacked in sexual skills they more than made up for in making sure that Gaius would not want for anything once he rose from the bed to start his day. They had been the ones to supply him with water, fold his clothes and by the looks of things when he looked over to the other side of the room, had laid out a breakfast of sorts. So the next thing he did was to sit and hope that the food would do something for his headache and overall drossiness.<br/><br/>The breakfast seemed to do the treat as he stood from the chair he had used to sit upon while he consumed his feast. Now ready to leave the room for good and with the need to make sure everything was ready before Aelia was even up, Gaius grabbed his bag and shut the door to the room behind him. To his delight he was the first up, since he had to admit that he seemed to prefer his own company to that of others as he found that being alone was the only guarantee to having an intellectual conversation should he choose to talk with himself of course. He tolerated others, is how he would put it, as a means to an end.<br/><br/>Now outside, by the stables, he throw his bag into the wagon he would be travelling in, for the last part of the journey, before checking that no one had tampered with any of the other vehicles. He then feed the horses and other animals that had come along for the journey and satisfied that all was ready for Aelia, he was about to start one last check to confirm that all was well when he was interrupted to his delight, by one of the twin sisters. While he was still trying to make out which one of the twins was standing there, as they were very similar say for a few assumed subtle difference that upon further intimate inspection Gaius was sure he would find, but since that had not happened as of yet, he was from time to time unsure, until they introduced themselves, which one was in his presence and this time was no different. After she had shared her mistresses secret with him a plan formed in his head that might change that impossibility into something that would most likely be possible if he wished it in the near future.<br/><br/>When she had finished informing him of her mistress’s readiness, he smiled to her and while he continued to check under the wagon, in which he was but moments ago standing next too, he spoke back to her softly, so that in order for her to hear him she would have to kneel down behind the wagon which might, with luck, obscure her from view from any who might be watching them converse. If of course any were indeed observing the transfer, Gaius could only guess.<br/><br/>Now pretending to adjust one of the plates under the wagon, he voiced his opinion after repeating the first few lines of his sentence once he was sure that she was close enough to hear him.<strong> “Well that is perfect my dear…” </strong>He made a guess as to which one he was talking too<strong>“Valoria isn’t it?” </strong>He did not wait for a confirmation, before continuing to talk to her.<strong>“All is ready for the rest of the journey so you can report back to Aelia to inform her that she can board her carriage when she feels ‘safe’ enough to venture out of the inn. Tell her that I will meet her by the entrance to walk with her and inform her that there will be guards to hand should anything kick off on route. She will be quite safe, assure her of this.” </strong><br/><br/>He then turned back to the plate that he was still toying with as if to suggest that she was dismissed from his presence but before anymore movement from Valoria was observed, he spoke once again.<strong>“Oh do not worry about what you have told me about Aeria’s fears as I can keep a secret, as I my head is full of plenty, but I will need a favour from you of course, and if you feel you can not obliged then your sister will do or both of you as I am not too fussy.” </strong>He let her imagine what he was indeed talking about for a moment before elaborating.<strong>“Oh and one more thing do not think to say no to what I will ask of you as I can easily spread a rumour that you took part in my little game even if you do not and we all know what rumours can do to a person and unlike me do you have a foolproof escape plan?” </strong><br/><br/>His voice them raised from a whisper to his normal tone.<strong>“You see I have been curious about you and indeed Latona for some time now and so upon our arrival to Ludus Leonis Scopulus Tarraconensis, I would think it a great service for either of you to find it within your busy schedule or indeed your hearts to seek me out in private so that we can have a little fun. That way I am sure that I will keep my gossiping mouth shut and both your heads on your pretty shoulders. Besides you never know you might enjoy yourself too. Oh and in future you do not have to lower your head when talking with me as how am I supposed to look into your beautiful eyes and see your intentions if you do.”</strong>He then went silent for a while to see if she would share her thoughts upon his suggestion to her.<br/>
