The Royal Council

[The Celtic Viking]

Sarpedon stands up.

"No one here has argued against taking Alexandria: it is a complete strawman you're building up. I don't appreciate you insinuating that I am a whimp just because I haven't allowed you to get the blood you so crave during my watch, either. Remember who you are talking to, and show some respect! I have had reasons for it, and you should be grateful for ever being allowed to hold any sort of command over it.

What Cunobelinus proposed, and you seconded, was the sacking of Alexandria, and it's that act I'm against. I want it taken into our hands just as much as you do - I just want it done in a civilized way.

Sarpedon turns towards Aratos.

Yes, we should expect better behaviour from him than from just any generic barbarian, but we must not forget what blood runs in his veins. There are some limitations that he simply can't cross.

OOC: Kleronomos Basileus is my rank, so yes, you can call me that. I'm no scholar on ancient Greek either (hell, even modern Greek is like, well, Greek to me), but it would seem that that's what it means anyway. In WotB at least it does.
