<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>Ludus Metalla<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/>Being left behind was interesting to say the least. With his owner, a certain Livia Sabina Metalla, dealing with matters abroad, Gaius keep busy finding ways to amass his fortune in knowledge and of course coin.<br/><br/>The place was all but disserted and from his understanding Livia would be returning in a day or two as she was visited an old friend. It was a surprise to him when a letter arrived that very morning. With no one around to question him, he opened it. It seemed that events had indeed transpired for Livia as in the letter she requested that he, along with the rest of the Ludus, pack up and head to Ludus Leonis Scopulus in Tarraco on the coast of Tarraconensis. Why the chance in direction? He had to know, but the letter was brief and too the point, so the answer would have to wait. Thinking that was all there was to the letter, he placed it by his bed for some time while he organized, with the help from some of the other men, loading up the carriages and wagons for the trip.<br/><br/>With that well on its way, Gaius retired to his room to rest for a while and as he lay there, he picked up the letter again. Before placing it down again as if satisfied that he had followed all of the instructions, he turned the letter over and read new information that he had missed. From his understanding, he was to personally venture forth to see Aelia Tatius, one of Livia’s old friends, who she was scheduled to meet later in the week. He, through his owner’s request, was to invite Aelia to join the caravan so that the meeting could indeed take place as planned, the only change would be the location.<br/><br/>Realising his error and with time to rectify it, he slipped the letter in between the folds of his tunic, to prove the request genuine, and seeing that the preparations for the journey were all but conplete, he took his favourite horse from the stables and galloped to her home.<br/><br/>As he travelled in the rain, he imagined how Aelia would take his sudden arrival. He had had dealings with her in the past and when it was time to have their ‘little chat’, it was always by appointment only. From time to time he would of course play both her and Livia against one another to better his standing with one or the other, as he thought he was too clever to be caught by either since as far as he was concerned both trusted him completely.<br/><br/>The games he had played and indeed continued to play to his advancement would either someday continue to improve his standing or, if caught without a convincing explanation, he would find himself in a ditch or worse. Sure that either were a long way off, he slowed his horse to a trot as he approached the entrance to Aelia home.<br/>
