He smiles and moves his hands down to Vulpes's hips. He looks so viciously cruel despite the gentle appearance. A wickedness in his grin.
"I personally want him to come before me tomorrow in a grand ceremony. Tell him it is because he is a shining example to all."

His hand moves over Vulpes's own, his larger palm holding the other in place. That smile persists as he leans back, relaxing his posture and the man atop him.

"If you are wanting to live, come out, neither fear of death or bondage will come to the willing."
"You are surrounded, your majors have all abandoned you or been slaughtered. Make your way out of that hole. Now."
The Caesar himself. Leading an attack on such an unimportant and strategically worthless position? Nothing other than to increase a body count and demoralize the
