<sup><strong>Titus Arilla – Ludus Affiliated</strong></sup><br/><br/>Titus had made some business earlier, working a round in the protection racket, then fed himself at a small tavern in the Præneste market-area. As usual, it had been filled with people, as it always was. Plebs, whores, thieves, murderers and shady merchants, all looking for easy coins and some looking for work within the Præneste Collegia. Titus had collected the money, delivered most to the prefect, and he kept a small coin for his services as usual.<br/><br/>Now he stood silent, watching the spectacle that Dominus Marcellis Quinsallis  had  arranged for his guests at the Ludus. In a way, he liked what he saw, but he also felt a cold knot from somewhere deep within, as he tried to remember the taste of stuffed pork melting in his mouth, the feeling of quenching the thirst with wine, but he couldn't make it stick, the feint memories just eluded him, and he felt hungry for blood instead. He frowned at his thoughts, and traced his facial scar with the tip of his finger, tried to remember why he had been so stupid back then, almost got his skull cleaved getting the scar. He looked at the Beast of Delcu and smiled. This Varius could become something, seemed strong and agile, and he seemed to be one of good stock. He shifted slightly, and laid eyes upon the green haired beauty, one he had seen at the Ludus many times before.  He scratched his well kept beard thoughtfully, and looked for Valeria. He had seen her before as well, as he often spent coins in the underworld, sometime with loss, sometimes with gain, and he considered her to be one of the wealthiest down there, a person good to know. Keeping his eyes on the Phoenician from time to time, trying to figure if he is known. Impressive man.<br/><br/>He stayed clear of the guests, his job tonight would be keeping the Dominus safe, and the house-guests seemed all happy. If any, he would tie contacts with the underworld, and perhaps Claudius Glaver and his aid. But Titus wasn't too fond of small talk with military people.<br/>He shifted position again, looked at Cappius as he basked in sex and lust. Titus liked Cappius, they had spoken many times, and some things that Cappius had said, made Titus pay more attention than he normally would.<br/><br/><br/><br/><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">(For descriptions of this bodyguard -&gt;http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/5123 (http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/5123))</span></em>
