"I am very happy that you are so glad, dear Aurelianus...and thanks for your great work as well!" Tanaquil answers the proud young man, smiling. "It sure was a great festival and I am a little sad that it's over, actually..."

"No problem," Maximius adds to her words, "next year it will be even better!"

"Thank you for everything, Maxie! You've been doing great, as always!", Tanaquil whispers, leaning over to Max, shaking hands with him...

So! Where are Aulus, the winner, and Leela, to pick up their laurels and congratulations???
