    I have been contemplating the events quietly from the cities entrusted to my command, senators, but I believe that this moment of relative tranquility is a good one to shift the focus of our consul to the education and development of our governors. I feel like my own skills have been wasted in the dull and inactive life of governorship, and I believe that there are many others who would feel that way too.

    I will propose a motion addressing this issue in the next senatorial session, but I wish to put this forward to the consul's consideration.

    *There is a clearly irritated look from the consul.*

    If any wasting has been done it's been done by yourself Senator Mamilus. Someone who has said absolutely nothing for the the last several years, not to this senatorial body nor to myself personally, has no place to complain now that he is bored and his life is dull. Our governors are placed where they are to ensure stability throughout the Republic, I will not go about maneouvering them all and risking revolt and dissension because you feel bored due to your own inability to be proactive in the events of these discussions. I have one piece of advice for you senator.

    Get a hobby, and don't waste my time.

    My dear consul, you of all people should know, that the most useful person is not the one who shouts loudest. Or would you have us ruled by those market traders who sell vegetables and shout to attract customers?

    I have been following the events, reading the reports and voting on the motions, even though I abstained from proposing them and shouting out my opinions, as the motions concerned mostly the military aspects of administration. If you, in your blindness refuse to accept criticism from one who cares for other things but war, I have to question what kind of consul you are. Are you a politician or a butcher who likes nothing better than feeling the blood running through your fingers?

    You claim I am bored. Maybe I get mistresses and slaves to entertain myself, but I do not butcher roman sons to do so.

    ...you know senator, perhaps you should be allowed to entertain yourself more. Perhaps you should be moved to the front lines near Iberia. Your opinion of my accomplishments may change when you run fleeing like a coward in your first battle.

    I will do my best to justify your trust in my abilities, consul. I am sure you would not just waste my life away because of your personal dislike of my person.

    You know, with 10 years of military service behind my back, an accusation of cowardice speaks more in your detriment than mine, consul.

    Serving in the legion does not mean you've actually fought a battle senator. There are many governors with many years service in the legion, it doesn't mean they've ever actually thrust a sword into a man's flesh.

    I don't need to waste your life away because I don't like you, you said it yourself you've wasted your own life away. Now stop wasting mine with your pitiful whimpering.

    Of course, consul. Thank you for your attention, consul. I shall resume my silent contemplation of the barbarous ways imposed to this our republic, consul.
