Tablinum des Pater Familias Gaius Scribonius Curio

Yes Hestia, you are right. Law is law. Here I have now everything I need to ratify my positions accordind to the law.

*Helena took, the White Stuff, which Hestia gave her and one more time Helena repeated those words which were conferming her domination in the family. Then she added:*

Yes, and also. I agree with, punishment of Malachias by Hestia and that he has to wear woman's cloth and do woman's work during one year.

I'm glad and pleased to meet you Sextus.
You may go. Eat and after take a rest, as Hestia told you.

Please, Hestia inform me who is this young man Sextus? I see during my trip planty of things has changed in Casa.

Original von Scribonia Helena

Sim-Off:

Oh, Selnya, thank you very much. I really will be very, very pleased if you will translate for me some important things. Really, I would appreciate that.

** I Tabbed with the Staf Once and Looked arround...**
"Now That the Lady Helena is back it 's No more Than Natural That She 'be the Matre of the Gens...as She is Scribonius Curio's Daughter...
I Adress the Hope That She Will Adres Us Here and Now in Order to Establish the Houshold and its Reglementaris...
**Ich stampfte mit den Stab auf den Bodem und Schautte mich um..**
"Nun da die Frau Helena wieder da ist dunckt es mir Logisch das SIE als leibliche Tochter des Scorbunius Curio als Matra Gentia die Führüng hier übernimmt..
Ich hoffe sie wirt zu uns sprechen und ihre Wünschen bez. den Haushalt und dessen Fürung und Regulatur an uns mitteilt."

I Suggest to Confirm Selnya as Matre Dommia ...She is the most Competent for This Job.
Antiope!...You will becomme My Apprentis IF....You want to...a Life of Freedom but of Hard Study as Well Further I Hand You the 2 Joungsters wich You are Carying for some Time Now."
...Meine Suggestion wäre es Selnya als Matre Dommia zu bestähtigen ..sie kent sich weitaus am besten aus mit den laufenden sachen.
Antiope!...dich möchtte ich gern als Schuhlerin wenn du WILLST naturlich ,weiter schencke ich dir die 2 kleine Schlangen die du schon Lange bei dir trägst."

**I Saw the Looks of Him from unther the Womans Wig but didn't gave a shudder ...
Malachias would not escape His Penalty prematurely...**
**Ich sah wie er kückte von unter sein Frauen perucke aber gab kein bewegüng oder blick von mir ...
Malachias würde nicht frühzeitig seine Straffe loos werden**

Yes Hestia. I conferm agane as I did before, that Selnya is and will be Matre Dommia. During thiese days she showd that she ishonest and can do all the job she has to. She is willing and all the time is trying to do all her best.

Now about Antiope. I know that father wanted to give her freedom from those chains which she has on her neck. I was thinking about that and honestly I'm worrying now. Because she can do the same, even worst after she will get freedom. But anyway, I've decided that she will be free from chains and she will become your "pupil" You will be responsible for her bihaviour and she will be completly under your control. So, I'm sure you'll get with her. It will be not easy, but I'm sure you will teach to Antiope how to bihave with people especially when she is in Casa Scribonia!

If Antiope will not change her caracter then I'll think how I'll punish her and punishment will be very, very strong and serious. She really should be afrad of that!

Malachias, don't look at with such face. You are punished because you were guilty, so you are still under your punishment.

And now listen to me everyone and very carefully! If you will behaviour will be good and you will do everything what you must do, so nobody will punish you. But if you will not do your master's will and evil, then consequences will be very, very bad for you. Even more, they will be terrible. So let thiese punishments of Antiope and Malachias will be an example for everyone and for themselves a good lesson!

Now, serves leave us and do your job!

Ich nickte und verliess den Raum. Sehr nachdenklich.

*After Selnya and all serves left Curio's room, Hestia also went out. So Helena was alone with her father. She got closer to Curio, kissesd him and said:*

My dearest father, you cann't immagine how I missed you during my journy, I was hurry to come back to our Casa Scribonia and hug you. But you are ill. I pray gods to help you to get well very, very soon.

Father I want to see you agane working in your Tablinium, I want to see you on wonderful parties which we have very often in our Casa thanks to you. I need my father!!!

I know you are very strong and nothing and nobody can hurm you. Somehow you will surrvive. I'm sure!

Now you aren't able to control up Casa and it's stuff. Now I'm the one who does everything instead of you. I promisse, that I'll try to do all my best. I'm sure I'll get with it, even if I'm little girl and have no much of experiance. Also Hestia will help me and Selnya, she is very good serve. She will help me with the house stuff.

You see father I promisse you all thiese, but now you have to promisse me that you will get well and come back to us and to your real, nice life very, very soon. Promisse me that! We really, really need you.

Now I have to leave you father. I have to see what's going on in our Casa. Do all serves do what they have to.

Oh, I gave a freedom from chains to Antiope as you wanted. Now she is completly under Hestia's control. And I told to Antiope, if she will not do her wills I'll think about very serious punishment. I think it should work.

Now my beloved daddy, take a reast, I will not disturbe you anymore, at least for this moment. But remember about your promisse. You have to get well very, very soon and come back to us!

*Helena kissed Curio many, many times and left his room*

"A verry good speach.Ii will sent Antiope to the Blacksmith to have the band removed...
I am not worried aboud Her if She is not Provoced She Won't attack other People..."
**I Handed her a Green Ribbon with White Ends on One of the Ends was a Waxs label...**
" It Needs the Inprint of Youre Ring so Antiope is Recognisable as Herbalist Apprentice of the Scribonia Gens with allowance to Travel /Colleckt Herbs etc ...OUTSIDE the House.
I have still to take Care with This Foot here can't do That all alone.."

"Ein sehr guter ansprache....ich werde Antiope zum Schmied schicken um ihr das Eisenband ablassen zu machen....
Über ihr mache ich mich nicht so sorgen wenn sie nicht Provociert wirt dan greift sie auch keine an.."
**Ich gab ihr ein Grünes Genicktüch. mit weißen enden ,an ein von den enden befand sich ein Wachs klecker**
"Auf diessen Klecker müßt du dan mit dein Ring ein eindrück machen damit sie erkenbahr ist als Herbalsitin Schühlerin des Hauses Scribonia mit der erlaubnis Draussen nach Kraütern oder andere zutaten zu süchen.
Ich kan das mit dem Füß eben noch nicht alles alleine machen."

*Helena took the paper where was written, that, to Antiope is given a permission of being Herbalist of Gens Scribonia. Then Helena said:*

Hestia, she will be, as I said before, completly under your control! And I hope you will watch after her. If so, then I agree, here you have my ringprint. I conferm!

*After, Helena stamped the paper with her ring. Then she called Antiope and told her:*

Antiope, form this moment you can help Hestia collecting different kind of herbs which are very important for human's life. I hope they will help to my father too. And remeber what I've told you yesterday, I will repeat. So, bihave yourself well and do all your duties and nobody will punish you!

So, now enjoy, both of you collecting herbs. Especially you, my dear cousen, you love this process, I know. Collecting will be much more easy, 'cause now you have Antiope, she will help you a lot, I'm sure.

*Helena enterd Curio's room*

Here I am father, I'm with you, always. You know how I love you and how everybody loves you in this Casa, and not only. I'm sure our love will help you to get well soon.

*Helena kissed Curio. Then she said:*

In casa everything is fine. Me and we, all are doing our best.

You know father, Scribonia Kaleandra came to us. She arrived today. So, she asked me to let her visit you here, in your Tablinium, but for this moment I think it will be better if she'll just meet with the people living in our Casa and tomorrow she will have a possibility to see you too.
Now, I think it will be better as well for you.

Well, what else...nothing, nothig. I'm a bit tired, lot's of thing to do. I was in my wonderful garden for a while. You know how I love it. It is really very nice and I love flowers and plants, but first of all I love my garden because it's your gift for me. Well, in the garden I had a conversation with Sextus, that young boy who is our guest. He showd me his bird, it was nice.

Oh, I almost forgot! I've made Antiope Herbalist. Now she is Gens Scribonia's herbalist. She will help Hestia, collecting different herbs. But Hestia promissed that, anyway, she will keep and eye on her. So I think now Antiope will do something useful instead of demeging, like she was doing all the time.

Well thiese are all the.
I really want to see you out of this your bed and out of this your Tablinium, as soon as possibly! Please, please be strong!

*Helena kissed her father one more time, then she took a sit near the table of Curio, where were some papers and documents she had to read.*

"Yes Helena Kaleandra is verrx tired from Her Journy and Tommorow is def. better...

I Have to travel to Tarraco for the Building of the Aedicula (Church) for Aesculapus There...I hope not to Stay to Long but You can always reach My in the CASA UNIA "Hestia's Spacio.."

I am sorry to be in haste but I have also a bad feeling aboud My Love in Hispania ....i don't Know Helena...I just don't Know....
Trust on Selnya and Kaleandra ....I have to go to make the Tide in Ostia..."

Hesti, my dear cousen, don't worry. I'll be fine and everything will be ok. Go, and do your work, you have to do. I'm sure I'll get with everything this by myself. Serves will help me.

You know, I would like to make you a company to Tarraco, I miss everything and everyone over there, but I can't leave father and Casa. I'll see, if I'll have a possibility, so I'll visit you and my homeland, Tarraco.

Your love, of course, of course!!! Promisse me that, when you'll come back to Rome, you'll tell me everything about it. I'm very corouse. You remeber, when we were little, we had our secrets. So, now I want to know about your love, in details. But, don't worry, I know and I'm sure with him everything is fine. He loves you very much and this gives him a strength.

Kaleandra, I guess today she'll have a possibility to visit father in his Tblinium. So, I'll watch for everything.

Take care darling.

*After haveing a conversation with Hestia, Helena still was in Curio's Tablinum, when Selnya came and told her, that Kaleandra was very willing, finaly, to see Curio. So Helena personally went, to bring Kaleandra to her father's room.*

Here, my dear Kaleandra...You know, I was thinking and finaly, results of my thinking are, that you are my grandmother, right? Well, even if you are not my grandma from the first line, anyway you are and you can't do nothing.

*Helena and Kaleandra, they both laught.*

I'm very glad, really very glad to have a grandma such you are.

*Helena kissed Kaleandra.*

So, here we are, it's father's Tablinum. There he is. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll get well very, very soon. I know gods will help him and will help us too...

*Then, Helena got closer to Curio and began to tell him that Kaleandra was now in his room:*

Father, here, right now Kaleandra is in your room, with you. I think you must be very glad and happy now. I've already told you that she arrived yesterday. So, she took a rest and now she is with you. She was so willing to see you...

You know father, Kaleandra is ready to help me. Hestia is leaving, she is going to Tarraco for a while, so I'm not worred that I'll have to be alone, because it's not true, now I'll not be alone, Kaleandra is here.

*Helena asked Kaleandra to get closer to Curio. Then Helena offered to her grandma to take a sit. Kaleandra did that with a pleasure. *

"I See .....Apathia Hypnosia....well Child That is a verry Nasty Thing but absolutly Healable...Youre Pappa will Live and be Healty When He wakes up.
You see.....a Human can stand an amound of trouble and Hardship but if ALL comes at ONCE the Mind can't cope with the Amound of Info and Emotions and like a Child on a long Travel His Brain Shuts Down protecting it self from a Maddening overload...See?.
**Looking at the Food ...**
"I See You feed Him Youre Self withe the Blow-Inn-Straw so He gets it direcktly fromYoure Mouth...That's Good Child verry Good .
No doubt Hestia told You how to do That ...the First Time I Tought Here to do That She Blew it in my Face....**harharharhar .....**She was a Wild one and a Rascal like Her Mother....so like Plancinia the Voice of Gaul...the Singeres You Knew Her She was Here to...
**Looking in Helena's Direction....verry serioucely...**
"Child?...do You know WHO Killed Her ?? it was in Britannia wasn't it ??
--------Well it can wait ....
The Noble Aurelians almost all gone but One is still alive Yes...I Know I Know...
--------Youre Pappa needs now Medication Yust Love,Care and Good Food ...it would be best to bring Him back to the Little Place direckly next to the Pertystilium ...Fresh Air and the Nousia off Flowers and Plants is good for him This Room is to Damp and Warm for Him..."
**Thinking for a Moment....**
"You and I Should have a Little talk about Poletiks Child....the Voice of the Scribonia should be Herd again in the Fractio.....We live in diff Times."

*Helena was looking at Kaleandra with very surprized eyes, listening everything very, very carefully what her grandma was telling her. After, she thought for a while and answerd to Kaleandra:*

Oh, grandma!!! So, now it's no doubts that father will be fine soon?! I'm very glad to hear this news and...I knew it, I knew it.
Sure darling, father needs everything best and you see how I feed him. I'm glad you are content.

Hestia, wild?! That's really very, very funny. Sure, I remeber my aunty Plancinia. You know I came in SCHOCK when I heared about her death. I still can't realize that someone has killd her. Yes, she has been murdared in Britania. You know father knows the truth, but he doesn't wants to tell me, who and how did that, just not to stress me, you know. Eh, this life is so toght. I lost my wonderful mother, you remeber her, right? After aunt Plancinia has been murdered and now father...No, no I don't want to lose him. No way!!!

*After a moment, tears like a big, round balls appeared on Helena's face, but Kaleandra hugd her and told, that with her father everything would be all right and Helena by herself, also realized, that she must be strong, that family and Curio needs her very strong. She stoped crying and said:*

Yes, my dear Kaleandra. You are right. Father needs more fresh air. Food, care and love he has and he has planty of it but air...of course!!! We have to establish a place, a very comfortable place for father where will be lots of light and a fresh air. I think the best place is in our garden, to make a kind of construction with whole stuff which father needs...Or maybe you have an idea better, I'm sure you do. You are now a wise person in our family, or you like this, my idea?

Politics?! Hmm, politics. I know my dear, I know. We, Scribonia family members are ambitious and I think you are right. We must take care of everything what father has made and created. So, we have no right to forget about Factio. Yes, Purpurea is the Factio where our family belongs.

You want to talk about politics with me, please, I will listen you carefully. So, come dear, let's go to my...I mean father's work table and have some conversation. Untill he is ill I work there, so that's why I said "my".

*Helena and Kaleandra took a sit. Helena was sitting on Curio's place and Kaleandra - in front of her...*

I'm listening and I'm listening very carefully, you know that. And after we'll have a dinner, if you don't mind.

Entrance Atrium-Pertistylum
THIS Place already made by Hestia is indeed the best place..
Yes...She was a Wilde Gem ....and Rough to ..Climbed Trees and Played War Games with Boy's from the Villages...

I Have Heard That Plancina returned from Britannia ...carring a Wound on Her belly ...as far as Known She did somthing Heroic bur Follish as Well..non the Less the Roman That did That better watsches His Sleeping Houres...

Plancinia was alergic to Metal a smal Cut not Threated Well enough can couse a verry Nasty and Slow Death....and That is What Happend to Her.
And the Roman That did This will suffer towarths His End the same Way....

Aha the Purperea...isn't That the Religiouce Fraction?? This Florus was Talking about???
But I see You have That unther Command ...good so I can consentrate on Youre Father and this German Girl...
By The Way I have disc NOT to join the C.D ....I Have done My Chare as Priest and I dond Like Graet Temples and such ...I am just TO Old for That."

You are wonderful my dear Kaleandra. I love you so much

*Helena kissed and hugged her grangma*

Oh, now I see. I'm so upsad...the story of aunty Plancinia is terrible. Yes, you are right, people who killed her will be punished and cursed.

Yes, dear, Factio Purpurea is a faction to which our family belongs. Before father would become ill, he was very important and active person over there. He was vice-Pater Factionis. Now he can't and that's why now I'm doing all my best.

Now there are elections for a new Pater Factionis, I had to vote insted of father and in the name of our, Scribonia family. The new Pater Factionis will be father's very good friend, I know him too. He's name is Agrippa, Publius Matinius Agrippa...And also that proceeding...oh there are really lot's of things to do. I will be really very thankful if you'll help me with Casa stuff and taking care of father. I will appreciate that And please, don't say that you are old, it's not your stile, belive me

*After Helena and Kaleandra had a conversation, Kaleandra left Pater's Tablinum, Helena wanted to stay with Curio, but she had to do some stuff in Casa, but soon she came back. She didn't wanted to left Curio alone for a long time.*

Here I am father. I'm back and I'm with you. I will ask to our serves to prepare some meal for you, I will ask them to prepare something what you like. Just a second, wait, I'll call Selnya and after I'll be all the time with you.

*Helena went out from Tablinum and called Selnya. Selnya didn't answerd Helena's call. Then Helena went to the kitchen and began to think what she could prepare for father, something...hmm, very, very tasty. She really prepared a meal for her father. It was a meat, cooked so, that it had to be easy for Curio to eat. *

You see father, I called Selnya, but she didn't answered me, I couldn't find her, so this meal...I prepared it for you. I hope you'll like it. Now I'll help you to eat it.

*Helena feed Curio. Then she told her father that new Pater Factionis has been elected.*

Well, father you know in Factio were elections of a new Pater Factionis, as your doughter, I voted instead of you. So the new Pater Factionis is Agrippa now, your firend. I hope you are pleased.

Bur still, you have to recover soon, everything has lost joy and it's colour without you. Please, be strong and come back to us soon. I love you very, very much and Casa, Factio...everyone needs you, espeacially me. I really need my father. Please, I know, that you hear me.

*Helena went to Curio and kissed him, having some tears on her face.*

* I Took the Cup and the Plate ...to bring Them to the Kitchen (Culina)I Whisppered...*
".He Heard You ...never fear wtsch the lines of His Cheeks There You can see the Responce its verry vagly but visable if You focus hard enough...His Sleep is a verry ....Thin one so to Say...
I Wonder What Hestia is bruwing in Hispania ...She'll manage with the Aedicula Her Life's Work but That ist't enough the task ahead of Her is mush Graeter Then That..and She is Powerfull yes verry Powerfulll....."
