The Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations III

[Braden]

Consul,

I trust your comments were in good humour as a lesser man may have taken such words directed to your Elder in anger?

As such, I agree that you require little in extra sacrifice to the Gods to fulfil your remaining duties, though, perhaps one of them could loan the Republic some coin so you can complete these "games" arena's.

Do not feel too aggrieved Consul, you are young and perhaps many years will pass before such responsibility will weigh you down again.

We have discussed this in private, remember my words to you.

I myself have considered running for Consul but have previously stated I will not do so until I have passed my 30th year. I hold to that pledge, it is, perhaps too greater burden for one as young as us?

They were in good humor, forgive my coldness, even the deserts of Afrika have done little to warm my tone of voice. There is a wry smile from the consul.

The Senate speaker picks up the weighty tome recording the Senate deliberations and frowns. He mutters to himself:

"Sixteen pages... it's getting quite a handful. The end of a mid-term session seems a suitable place to stop."

He wraps the tome in string and calls out to the scribes to bring in a fresh volume.
