Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

"Ammon never really liked his name. Then again, at least he wasn't Atreus VI."

"An Optio--sounds like the word option, though I'm sure it isn't related. So, a military man, eh? I hear most Praetors are."

"If you have no other title, does that mean you're just on the fringes of the nobility then, I guess?"
“Well, I suppose it is in a way, as an Optio is the aide of a Centurion, and stands second in command of a century. Indeed, it is the way to rise in the ranks of the Empire.”

“Hmm, not really, all High Praetors are lords or ladies of the Empire, and our noble status is accorded proper respect. In the Empire though, a prominent title without service is well-nigh impossible.”
 

"Well, there are more fun ones, but hugging is pretty common," Vasha says. "I can probably show you later if you're still curious, though I've been told there isn't much time with all the wedding traditions."

"Right, but you aren't, for instance, a Senator? No matter, but if you had political clout among the high-ups, I could have seen if you wanted to make a trade agreement."
 

"Well, I bet I can guess..." Plydek seems still a bit nervous about this whole thing, possibly due to still shaking some of his fond memories of his siblings being perverted in his mind by what he initially took her to mean.

"Dude, she's propositioning you! He says yes," Kastor replies for him.
 

Vasha looks at the other man who's yelling stuff and frowns, then turns back to Plydek. "It's only what feels comfortable. It's not pleasure otherwise. I won't be offended if you aren't comfortable."

"Anyway, why did you think I was a princess?"

“No, I haven’t done enough to achieve such a rank yet. Though we could mention such an agreement is sought, when we return home, if you’d like...I’m sure it would reach the right ears,” Tiberius says, looking to Claudia with a grin.

"It wouldn't fell right, to treat a lady like that. Besides, I have a fairly good estimation," Plydek replies diplomatically

"Whatever, dude. I guess you're waiting for a man," Kastor points out, then goes back to talking with Orin.

"Why did I think you were a princess? Well, you looked like one, is all."

"Right, though that means we couldn't actually negotiate one...you know, that silly journey tradition is supposed to help the new heir establish trade routes and diplomatic relations with power players, but I guess we can leave it to Ammon to slack off and have fun," Atreus shakes his head, slightly.

"Is that what it was for? If you knew he was going to do that, couldn't you have just had him skip it? Poor Lynestra was lonely for so long while he was out there."

"Well, I did have hopes that he had learned some responsibility."

El saunters up to where Vasha speaks with a couple of men "You going to introduce me to your friends Vasha dear?" El says breathlessly "or you trying to keep them all to yourself?"
