It's time to go to the brand new dwelling of Titus and Eirene, their Suburan Insula Apartment. I have been roaming the AncientWorlds' Springfest places, not being able to stay long anywhere and post. Ack! Life can be so seriously consuming these days, that there isn't much time left to have fun! But now my duties are done and I can lean back and exhale for a while.
I roamed around in the Roman World and saw all that good stuff happening last Saturday, when Titus and his Eirene were wed! What a party that was!!! It's good to see such things happening here!
And now I am in the Courtyard of Titus' new insula and things here are still very quiet. They decided to sleep all their way through the sunday and serve food on Monday, so here I am, with my gifts.
Eirene, I don't know if you're much into weaving. I happen to know this noble Roman lady, who is. She seems quite boring, but that's only the outside. On the inside, she can be pretty exciting: weaving with her can result into scheming and concocting instead of serious weaving. Hm, why am I telling you this? I just want you to be happy with this gift. It might lead you into a weaving business: weaving cloth and selling it. You might even get a few slaves or freedmen to do the work for you, so you can focus on the business aspect of the weaving trade. There is a businesswoman inside of you, Eirene, I just know it!

Now, then...Titus. Always difficult to get a present for a man. Maybe it's all too easy and that's why it seems so difficult. Hmmmm, I don't speak sense. It's too early still. Now, then, my petty pleb. Here's my present for you. I hope you like it, but I think so.

You're going to need this when you finally outsmart people like Vorenus. There will be more need of lower plebeian senators in the Curia soon. And I am pretty sure that Caesar or Octavius will eventually reward your good nature, bravery, loyalty and what not! Maybe Eirene may use it as a prototype and start weaving togas to sell. There's going to be a great need for togae praetextae....LOL
So here are my gifts. Here I am, with slaves to help you serve the food to everyone and some more bread, wine, good Etruscan sausage and cold chicken!
