However, that was not time to flirt. Due to Melina's reaction, Tulius noticed Amber was someone high in the tribe's hierarchy. For this reason, he repeated the courtesy made by Melina, exactly how he would do in Rome - no matter where he were, order was appreciated by this military. Due to his education, he knew some Greek and understood a great deal of what the two females spoke.  It was his intention to answer to the leader's question when the bastard Melina spat on him. His initial reaction was anger - however, maybe he should show his superiority by simply ignoring her childish behaviour. As if nothing had happened, Tulius ignored Melina's provocation and replied to Melina.<br/><br/>"My name is Tulius Caius Ticius. I am a Roman from Ravena in Galia Cisalpina, mylady. I do not plan to cause you troubles as long as I am treated respectfully.", the man boldly answered to Amber.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=72244.msg3205707#msg3205707">Quote from: Brandon on 26-06-2010, 09:48:01</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I'll see to it at once m'lady." he said softly, giving a graceful bow as if he were an actor thanking an audience. Without a second thought he grabbed two buckets and took them to the river, gathering plenty of water and taking in the picture perfect beauty of nature for a few moments. He couldnt help but think how nice it looked compared to the crowded streets of his home town Florence. Still even in lands as majestic as these there were times when he desired the sound of crowds and the food of italy, if only for a few moments<br/><br/>Shrugging he picked up a bucket in each hand and made his way back toward Amber's hut. Though his form was small and effeminate the way he carried the heavy buckets also told of unseen strength in his body, creating an interesting contrast between what people saw and what the reality of his body was capable of. <br/><br/>It was a short walk back but when he arrived he made sure to chop some fresh wood for the makeshift hearth, perhaps more then he needed, and then struck flint and steel till the fire would light. Once done he hung the buckets over the fire and let them warm as he sat down, waiting patiently for Amber to return. In the mean time he let his fingers draw in the soot, it was nothing special nor beautiful, just a simple pictogram where he would start with a circle and then drawn whatever shapes he wanted within it. The process could take hours but it was a great way to focus the mind when alone.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><strong>Amber</strong><br/><br/>Amber turned to Melina, “calm your self, sometime the best method of dealing with something is not to hit it tell it stops moving,” this was a something she needed to learn. She turned to this Roman man in front of her, she took him in and smiled maybe he would be the thing to teach her and maybe teach him something in humility,<br/><br/>She spoke in Greek once again, “Well Tulius, this is my tribe, the Greeks call us Amazons.  Hear you will get respect, as a man of our tribe, think of it as the Roman household you grew up in, where women are second class and have no power. Well in this world the rolls are reversed, where the male in the tribe is the lesser and treated as such.”<br/><br/>“The rules are simple, you obey what any of the women say that includes Melina and if you don’t like it you can leave thought the forest.” She pointed to the edge of the forest, “But I doubt you will make it far before your lost and something makes a meal of your body. Now if you obey the rules you will be treated fairly given food water and a dry place to sleep and who knows maybe you will come to like this new life.”<br/><br/>She turned to Melina, “Sister show him the village and try and be nicer to him and maybe we can ease him in to his new station. Rember it is easier to get the fly with honey than vinegar.”<br/><br/>She smiled and walked off and back to her hut, She walked in and raised an eye brow at the young man as he drew in the charcoal of the fire pit in the center of her personal room, She quickly removed her clothing being completely nude as she took the warm water placing a sponge in to it as she began to wash her self sitting on her knees, “You can wash my back,” She said her long blond hair over her shoulder as she closed her eyes.<br/>
