[QUOTE="talien, post: 3360668, member: 3285"] [b]Adventus Regis - Part 1b: Silentium Serenitatis[/b] A well-dressed man arrived, his hair short and gray. His eyes were sharp and his smile seemed comfortable upon his face. “Honored guests, welcome. Welcome to Ravulus, my humble home. I am Gaius Phillipus, your host here during your stay in Vestalanium. I hope the food and music was pleasing to you all?” He shook each of their hands and greeted them by name. Ilmarė noticed a tattoo of the Legion of the Reluctant Warrior worn proudly on his forearm. It was the same tattoo that Quintus wore. “I have taken the liberty to arrange a full day of amusement and indulgences for you all. Tula will be your guide about Vestalanium. She knows the town very well and is at your command for the duration of your stay with us. Now then, to start your day off she will take you about town. We have many fine shops, a wonderful public garden and our bathhouse is second to none in the whole empire.” “A bath,” said Ilmarė wistfully. “I haven’t been able to take a bath in months.” “You have a reservation at the bathhouse at the sixth hour. Tula will make sure you aren’t late, because you might not get in otherwise. They are booked days in advance.” Gaius looked at Cal. “If you should become hungry there are many fine eateries in town as well. Tula can guide you to any of them.” Cal’s head snapped up.
