<strong>Dominus collects some stock on the way to the baths with the Pict and Autolycus</strong><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/Amplus/article-1057070-050F37D70000044D-98_468x465.jpg)</div>He led them out onto the training grounds and as he did he paused to see that the Doctore was indeed putting the punishments into play. All but a few, who had been fighting and cleaning up the mess were now either in cages themselves or chained to the walls. He would be back for them in due course but for now he had more important things on his mind.<br/><br/>He would, however, before moving on, summon three of his stock to his side, they were to be his champion, Rioghan MacCarthaigh, Marcus Didius and one of the ones still waiting to be caged. He pondered over who he would ‘save’ and pointed at the woman, Ryann ap Elim. Her punishment would have to wait for now, he thought. He waited for them to notice him, which did not take long, and called for them to join him. As Ryann came within ear shot, he whispered to her, without emotion as he was sure that she was involved in the fighting “I am sure the Domina will know what to do with you.” He then turned and headed towards the inner courtyard.<br/><br/>The gate was opened for them and once through, he noticed that the guests had been collected and all that remained was Canis tending the garden. With Autolycus by his side they continued the walk to the baths.<br/><br/>Along the way, he revisited his idea about the Pict staying with the Medicus. He still wanted that, so now was perhaps a good time to mention it. So he turned his head and spoke “Autolycus, lend me your ear. I think it is wish that I amend my original suggestion regarding the Pict.” He paused for affect before continuing “I would like it, if you would accommodate her in such a way, that she stays with you. You will have sole responsibility for her and should she misbehave then you will decide the punishment. Should she escape, however, then that will also come onto you. Teach her all that you feel she needs to know.”<br/><br/>Just as he finished speaking, he stopped just outside the entrance to the Baths. “Once you have cleaned her up, be sure to bring her to my study, where you will stay with her until I see fit for her to leave. When I do, you are free to go with her. I would like you to explain her duties and teach her Latin as I tire of speaking her tongue since it brings back to many unpleasant memories. I will of course assist if it is absolutely necessary.” He then smiled at the man and concluded “any questions before I leave you to your task?”<br/>
