Hey Kendra, just a thought...Liliana had a driver bring her to the ludus, who then pretty much just faded to the background. Your two sedan-chair-carrying slaves could do the same. Perhaps instead of two guards, you brought your champion? Both as protection, and perhaps to show off a bit, to make sure Valeria & Manius know you are not bereft of intimidatingly fabulous manflesh, even though you may have lost the most recent acquisition competition. A personal servant might add to the intrigue, as you know how servants gossip amongst themselves...anyway, it would suck for Oral addiction to get left out of the game, so this could allow for everyone to play together under the same roof, so to speak?  ;D
