Innenhof

Agrippa stand auf ...

"Ich danke dir für deine Gastfreundschaft alter Freund, aber es wird Zeit zurück nach Spanien zu gehen."

... und verabschiedete sich von Curio.

*Helena left for a while Curio's room. Then she entered living room and called Selnya*

Selnya! Selnya, come please.

*After a moment Selnya came.*

Selnya, going to father's room you told me something about Malachias. I was a bit nervious for that moment, 'cause of father's illness and don't remember exactly. It was like...Malachias in femmail dress?! Or maybe I'm wrong? Please, tell me exactly, I wish to know.

I came as she called me and I had problems not to smile as she asked about Malachias. Than I wrote the story down.

I Still had Flavius's letter in My hand as I came across Selnya and Helena...**
"HELENA...Nice to see You here...
Well Pappa is suffering from a Hypnosia ...itssssssss problematic but not Dangerouce normaly after a Whille They awake..
"Melancholicalus Hypnosia" is rather rare a state of mind in wich the Patient Hypnosises Him/Herself into a deep Sleep....
There is now kure against it only Patients..Love, Care and a great deal of Luck as well."

"Selnya ...could You call Antiope? I want to See the Eggs and give Her the First lesson as soon as I Return from the Dommus Augustania"

Sextus betrat den Innenhof und sah dort drei Frauen. unsicher ging er näher.

Well, after this story I feel myself much better. But still, I'm very upsad that father is ill.

I see Hestia, I see. Tell me, father will soon get well, am I right? And we will be all happy together agane.

Well, what are you doing now Hestia, are you going somewhere?
I see, you were taking care not only over father but also over our Casa Scribonia and whole our family. Thank you.

Auf den letzten moment schnapte ich Sextus an der Jacke...**
"Moment mahl! jünger Herr jetzt wirt mahl hier geblieben...!"
"Sorry Helena This is Sextus the Nephew of Flavius Duccius...quit a little scoundrel..."
**Wieder drehend**
"Geh ins Haus jungerman und warte vor das Tablinium auf mich...!und kein aber....oder wiederrede...!"
**Turning**
"Lets See What We can do Helena I have to Teach You e.t to take care of Pappa.."

Of course Hestia. Now I'm here to help you solving our Casa's problems and of course I want to be with father, and I want to take care of him. But, first of all you have to show me how and what I have to do, otherwise, you know, I have no lot's of expereance and I don't want to spoil something.

**Standing and watching Sextus's every move...leaning on My krutsh**
"Yes...We will have to Divide the Duties Here so We both Know What the Other is doing.
As the Daughter of Pappa You have the Right to asume Controle of the Household and its Economics ....I am Just a Nice ....
So You have to tell Me What My Job Within the Household will be...such is the Law I can't Change That..."

**Sitting down rather tirred...**
"Of Course I 'll Teach You all about the Taking Care of a Patient like This ...
Important is to Make Him part of every Thing That Happends in the House...Tell Him al about it even if You yust bought something on the Market or went to a Play...
He must feel Part of This Life,This House,This Gents the Feeling That He is still in Controle somehowe...the Feeling That We Love Him,want Him and won't let go of Him...THAT is essential.."

Ich lächelte ansatzweise, als Hestia sich den Jungen vornahm und zog mich mit Antiope, die ich derweil geholt hatte, in den Hintergrund zurück, abwartend, ob und wann Hestia uns brauchte bzw. mit uns reden wollte.

I see, that's interssting. I think I will have no problem. I love father and I'll do everything for him.
So now let's go to his room, see how is he.
*Hestia and Helena went to Curios room.*

"Aber...", setzte Sextus an zu protestieren, sah dann aber Hestias Gesichtsausdruck."In Ordnung.", lenkte Sextus leise ein und wandte sich wieder ab. Sich jedoch fragend, wo dieses Tablinium war. Er hätte doch das Haus mitanschauen sollen!

So, here we are.

Please, take a sit, I think You have to be tired....so maybe You would like me to bring You something to drink...me, cause there are no serves in Casa now, everyone is out of it, and I'm alone now....but really very happy to see you.

Tell me, my dear uncle Agrippa, how are You doing, is everything fine in Factio and Your political career?....I'm so pleased You came to our Casa.

Oh, father You are at home...nice.

When You arrived? I thought I was alone at home....what a big surprise, right? Uncle Agrippa visits us. And also quite a big one that I see in Casa now.

Oh, and Helena is here too. That's nice

But here we have a guest, Traianus Germanicus Sedulus visited us.

*Then Cerelia turned to Helena and told her, that she was talking with her about this man*

I don't know how Sedulus knew, but he brought me my favorite flowers. Thank you Sedulus.

*Soon Sedulus and Cerelia went together to the garden and Curio also, he asked Helena to stay with Agrippa.*

So, uncle Agrippa, Cerelia is really very nice, is't she? She is not a child anymore, but still, her bihaviour....it's really funny.

Now, I see for sure, that she fell in love. :)....I think father will come back soon, just excuse him, he can't leave that little girl, I mean, my sister Cerelia, alone.

Actually it was a kind of surprise for me too, that I saw father at home, I think he came not long time ago. :)....and now, how are you?

*After Helena and Agrippa had a conversation, Agrippa mentioned that he had to leave. So Helena thanked him, and asked him to visit again, that uncle Agrippa is all the time welcome to the Casa Scribonia and that Helena would be very happy to see him again. Agrippa thanked as well for a nice hospitality and promissed that he would visit soon. Then Agrippa left Casa Scribonia.*

Commodus betrat den Innenhof und ging zu der selben Säule, neben der er auch bei seinem ersten Besuch hier stand und stellte sich dort hin. Hier hat sich fast nichts verändert. dachte er und lächelte.

Commodus came into the inner courtyard and went to the same pillar he stood next to at his first visit here. Almost nothing changed here. he thought.
