2011-05-19 [MadHatress]: Paterfamilias Titus Batiatus is off on business. He isn't due back for numerous years. Lucretia has begun to use Quintus's business acquaintances to make friends; where she eventually will meet Ilythia.
Spartacus is home with his wife Mira. He has just returned from war and is looking to spend time with his beloved.

2011-05-19 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naevia stood in front of a stall at the market, she was looking at some beauitful necklaces, rings, braclets and so on.

Ilythia was busy painting in the study. She was painting a vase of flowers.

2011-05-20 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: Quintus was overlooking the gladiators at his usual location, on the second floor overlook, watching the specitical of it all, espcially hise most prized gladiator, Crixus.

2011-05-21 [MadHatress]: [if we have gannicus, that means 'favorite new recruit'right? Lol]

Lucretia was waiting for Naevia to return from the market with the emerald necklace she sent the slave-girl to fetch. While she waited, she approached Quintus; she wrapped her arms around him slowly and kissed him on the cheek. "Remind me the reason you purchased the Gaul... He looks nothing more than an animal"

2011-05-21 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naevia thanked the market man when she paid for the necklace, she soon make her way back to Lucretia's home. She blew a lock of her brown hair away from her eyes.

2011-05-22 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: He placed his hands ontop of his. "Because, if there's anything my father taught me, it's to look into a mans eyes, to see a true gladiator, and that Gual, is a true fighter."

2011-05-24 [MadHatress]: "He struggles to keep up with even the Syrians, Quintus. He isn't worth the 50 Denari you spent on him!"

2011-05-26 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "In time, Lucretia. In time he'll show he's worth more than 500 Denari."

2011-05-26 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naevia walked into Lucretia's house, she walked around the house until she found her with Quintus. She stood in the doorway with her head down as she cleared her throat, the necklace was in her hands held out.

2011-05-26 [MadHatress]: Lucretia sighed and shook her head slightly, holding her hands just below her hips. "What would Titus say about it?" She then waved Naevia over to bring the necklace. "Put it on..." as she moved her hair

2011-05-26 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "My father...I have not a clue, Lucretia. But the old man isn't here yet."

2011-05-29 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naevia did as she was told, she put the necklace around Lucretia's neck carefully.

2011-05-30 [MadHatress]: "He won't be the least bit pleased with him, Quintus." She fixed her hair and adjusted the necklace so it hanged straight down. "What do you think of this necklace?" Lucretia reapproached her husband to model it for him

2011-05-30 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: He turned around and looked at her, rising a brow. "My father has never been pleased with anything I do, but this, yes. This he will be pleased." he'd say looking at then necklace. "And how much did this cost me?"

2011-05-30 [MadHatress]: "You take your father too seriously." Lucretia sighed. "it was 30 denari..."

2011-05-30 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "My father has never been proud of anything I've done in my life with this, I hope he is." he'd say, pondernig.

2011-05-30 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naevia looked down at the floor.

2011-05-30 [MadHatress]: "your father is stubborn as a bull, but smart." She shrugged her shoulders and turned back to Naevia. "fetch some water. This heat is intolerable..."

2011-05-30 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naeiva nodded, "Of course." she said then she walked out of the room to fetch some water.

2011-06-01 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "Yes, but it's a close tie between he and the bull." he'd nod looking to Naevia. "Anmd make it quick."

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: Lucretia sighed as she picked up a fan from her sun chair and began fanning herself. "Yes, but there is none more untrusting. Your father wants nothing more than to see me perish."

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "And perish you shall not, my dear Lucreatia, I stand by my decision unrelenting."

Cruixis was training in the courtyard, not...doing quite well just yet.

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: [as silly as it is to me, I went ahead and took Melitta as well... Lucretia's personal slave and wife to the Doctore.]

She smiled softly for a moment and glanced down at the gladiators; watching Crixus struggle to keep balance with Barca, then Oenomaus. "I pray to the gods he continues to let you stand with your decision to have me... For I will go no where without you..."

Melitta walked up with her arms held in front, and hands clasped together. "Domina, a Guest has arrived for you..."

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naevia walked to the well in the court yard with a bucket in her hand. She put the bucket on the stone wall, she tied some rope around the handel and she let the bucket drop into the well. She grabbed the end of the rope fast then she started to pull the bucket back up.

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "Yes, and I nowhere without you." he'd say, watching Cruxis struggle. "And let's hope my investment proves worthy, and isn't worth piss and shit." He lookedto Melitta. "Send them up."

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naevia walked back into the house with the bucket of water. She poured the water into a silver jug.

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: She bowed and began to turn. "Dominus..." Melitta went to fetch the guest that had come. [gonna bring in ilythia...?]

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: [yep :)]

Naeviea walked back to Lucretia with the silver jug and two silver cups.

Ilithyia had finished her painting, she smiled. She was very happy with herself.

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "We'll need another cup, Naeviea, for Ilythia." he'd say.

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: "Ilythia arrives later, Quintus... Finally; the moron from town is here... I swear, they are as timely as snails running from Jupiter" Lucretia kissed her husband on the cheek and took a glass from Naevia, smiling a soft thanks. "I told Medicus he is to return with some herbs" She subconsiously placed a hand on her stomach.

Melitta returned with Medicus. She stood at the doorway and let the man walk onto the balcony

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: Naeviea nodded and she left to get another cup.

Ilithyia got changed then she left her home and walked to Lucretia's place.

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: He looked to her and smiled. "My mistake. A glass for the guest then? I'm quite sure they're quinshed with thirst." he'd say taking a glass and took a sip before spitting it out. "Herbs for....that?" he'd say, well shocked.

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: She spoke softly to keep Naevia and Melitta ignorant to her comment. "Yes! We have been wed for some time and I've yet to be with child..." Lucretia looked to Medicus and took the small sheep skin bag from him. The man bowed and handed her the rest of the money he had been given for the herbs as well before returning to his post with the gladiators.

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: Ilithyia knocked on the front door.

Neavia grabed another silver cup and she walked back to the others.

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "Forgive me my dear, I didn't think we'd actually need it, but whatever helps us...maybe it'll keep my father have second thoughts about our being wed."

Cruxis went down to one knee, but rose up quickly, parrying off the next blow that for sure would of struck, had he not been so thirstful to prove himself.

[Dear....I think it's a long ass walk, so horse travel :D]

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: [True... lol]

Melitta went downstairs after Medicus arrived. She made her way towards the door and saw slaves opening the door to allow ilythia inside. She quickly walked over to escort her. "Hello madam..." bowing slightly.

Lucretia sighed but with a smile and slight blush on her face. "Patience has never been a blessing..."

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "No, it has not." he'd sday watching Cruxis catch the man he was sparing with off guard for a moment.

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: [I've never walked the show...so sue me lol XD]

Ilithyia smiled and followed Melitta to the others.

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: [no problem dear ^^]

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: Lucretia drank her water quietly and reached for her fan again.

Melitta led her to the balcony and cleared her throat softly. "Domina; Missess Ilythia is here."

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: Quintus drank his water. "Send her up."

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: Ilithyia smiled at Lucrastia and Quintus.

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: [check spelling please! I don't want to turn in to the grammar nazi! lol. it's been a good night of RP-ing so far.]

Lucretia grinned and approached Ilythia for a hug. "Dear friend!" giggling softly as her arms wrapped around her.

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: "Lucretia!"Ilithyia hugged her tightly."Oh I have missed you, greatly." She giggled softly too. [sorry hun >.<]

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: Quintus smirked. "Ilithyia, how have you been?" he'd ask.

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: [you're not the only one. I've been glaring at a certain male RPer since the RP began! lol]

She released her friend and kissed her on the cheek, to give her room to talk.

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: Ilithyia kissed Lucretia on the cheek back. She smiled at Quintus."I have been well. And you?"

2011-06-02 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "With Lucretia at my side...never better." Quintus said.

2011-06-02 [MadHatress]: Lucretia smiled and kissed her husband softly. "so Ilythia, is your husband well?"

2011-06-02 [Tis gone but never gone]: Ilythia smiled and nodded."He is well."

2011-06-03 [MadHatress]: She nodded her head with the same smile on her lips. "Help yourself to water and wine. There is plenty to go around."

2011-06-03 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "Yes, plenty. Neavia, bring a jug of wine up."

2011-06-03 [Tis gone but never gone]: "A glass of water would be wonderful." Ilythia said as she poured herself a glass of water.

Neavia nodded and went to get the wine.

2011-06-03 [MadHatress]: Lucretia glanced at the slaves, seeing Oenemaus busy working Crixus over. "I remember you telling me that you had expressed interest in the arena?"

2011-06-04 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: [We'll have to pause this for Michelle]

2011-06-04 [MadHatress]: [uh; not if she stays gone...]

2011-06-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: [she's coming back!]

2011-06-05 [Cerulean Sins]: Ilythia sipped her water and she looked at Lucretia.

Neavia came back into the room with a jug of wine.

2011-06-05 [MadHatress]: Lucretia smiled at her, then handed her cup to Naevia for wine. "Quintus? What time does the next contest commence? I think we should bring Ilythia along and see if it sparks interest..."

2011-06-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: He rose a brow. "Tomorrow morning my dear, what do you think, Ilythia?"

2011-06-05 [Cerulean Sins]: Naevia poured the wine into the cup.

Ilythia looked at Quintus."I may go. I'll have to see if my husband will let me."

2011-06-05 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: "He should he goes too."

2011-06-05 [MadHatress]: "What husband does not know will not hurt him. Glaber can't keep a strong roman woman from doing as she wishes!"

2011-06-05 [Cerulean Sins]: Ilythia chuckled softly."Alright I shall go with you both."

2011-06-08 [HeAVenShallBuRN]: Crixus was sparring, doing the best he could.

2011-06-08 [MadHatress]: [really? that's all?]

Lucretia grinned and kissed ilythia on the cheek. "Wonderful!" She wrapped her arms aroud her friend in a loving hug.

2011-06-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Ilythia smiled and hugged her back, holding her tightly."Oh this is going to be so much fun!" She giggled.

2011-06-08 [MadHatress]: She broke the hug slowly and held her friend's shoulders gently. "You will be shocked at the excitement that spills from the arena! Sights to be seen and not soon Forgotten."

2011-06-08 [Cerulean Sins]: "Ohhhh that does sound exciting." Ilythia smiled brightly.

2011-06-08 [MadHatress]: She removed her hands, still smiling and turned to Quintus. " I'll have the slaves set up a room for Ilythia"

2011-06-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Ilythia sipped her wine with a small smile on her lips.

2011-08-01 [MadHatress]: Lucretia smiled and took Ilythia's hand to take her to a house next to their Villa; where the most trusted slaves stayed

2011-08-02 [Cerulean Sins]: iltythia followed lucretia to the villa."where are we going?" 

2011-08-02 [MadHatress]: "To show you your room for your stay!" She slowed down so she could give Ilythia more of a tour. "You will stay in a small cottage next to the main part of the mansion; right next door to the Villa. That is where most trusted of slaves reside. Quintus will send a slave to your quarters to be yours."

Solonius was granted entry at the main doorway and was escorted to Quintus' current location. "It warms the heart to see you again, young Batiatus." he smiled softly behind Quintus; his hands folded over lazily infront of his chest, as his left hand played with a ring on his right thumb.

2011-08-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Ilythia smiled."That is so kind of you. I've always loved the cottage."

2011-08-02 [MadHatress]: Lucretia grinned and kissed her on the cheek. "Only the best for my most trusted friend."

2011-08-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "Oh you are too sweet!"Ilythia laughed softly and hugged Lucretia./

2011-08-02 [MadHatress]: She returned the hug warmly. "Your things should be within. As soon as the slave arrives, you them right to work. decorate as you wish."

2011-08-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Ilythia smiled brightly as she pulled back from the hug.
