<strong>Bastian reiterates for Lanista Manius</strong><br/><br/>Whilst his requests were being considered, the process was interrupted by the welcomed arrival of a man who was quite obviously the Lanista; Manius. The first thing Bastian noted was the man’s size. That would certainly explain the high ceilings and wide corridors. Perhaps there would be room for his wife here after all. Maybe it would take considerable coin to convince such a man to honour his many requests.<br/><br/>Impressed with the man’s obvious devotion to his Domina and the power that Manius projected towards all that were in the room, Bastian answered the enquiry “I am sure that your wife will fill you in on the details of our discussion but to summarise, for your benefit, we have requested a stay at your most excellent Ludus. We have also asked that my Gladiator, Amplus, be trained with your men during our stay along with accommodating any desire that he wishes, of course. We, also, require a showing of your male and female property to take place as soon as you can arrange such an event. The cost of such things will of course be reimbursed with ample coin to encourage you to make the right choice.” Like before, Bastian politely waited for both the Lanista and his wife to contemplate such a variety of requests.<br/>
