<strong>Ludus Villa; inner courtyard</strong><br/><br/><strong>Amplus’ showing whilst Bastian speaks</strong><br/><br/>Amplus, still standing and naked, watched Nakia, with his eyes, as she went around him. His cock still twitching as she followed the Domina’s careful instruction. His focus moved for a moment to the Domina, what was she thinking as she focused on his virtues? Questions of course he could never dream to ask her himself. He could not even smile at her complement of his size. And then it happened. All it took was for someone to say the wrong thing and his master was bound to get on his soap box.<br/><br/>Once Bastian had stopped he speech and taken a breath long enough for Domina to respond, Amplus found that Nakia was placing his loincloth back around his waist. Her proximity again excited him and within seconds he felt the blood warm his cock yet again. He watched her once again as she went back to her Domina’s side. It would take more then the gods for him to forget her gentle touch. Thoughts of her near him yet again filled his mind as he stood waiting patiently for his next command.<br/><br/><strong>Bastian warms to his hosts</strong><br/><br/>At the suggestion that his remarks towards his wife might have been a little too brutal, Bastian smiled at his hosts “Cruel? Yes you are probably right. However, on the idea that absence makes the heart grow fonder, I think not in this case.”<br/><br/>Bastian took another sip of his wine as he took what he perceived to be an apology with good grace. He had noticed the way she had looked at her husband to suggest that the Lanista’s words had perhaps been misplaced. Due to the gesture, however, he relaxed his tone considerably and was soon at peace yet again. He also knew that perhaps he did not need to address the misunderstanding in such an aggressive way. He would have to find a way to make it up to them. They would not regret the day that Bastian Grandis Fascinum graced their door that was for certain.<br/><br/>Once he was calm, once again, the subject of Amplus was raised. “Tell my Domina, what would you like Amplus to do for you next?” he suggested a possible next cause of action. “Perhaps it is time for him to be shown to his place of rest, if he is to remain here, as you suggested, and not with the other Gladiator for now.”<br/>
