Beiträge von Scribonia Helena

*A serve came to Helena and gave her a letter. Young lady was talking with Pater Familias of Gens Plinia...it seemd strange to Helena, how come, she was on a party...an urgent letter...she thought something happened...*

Pardon me dear Balbillus...I think it will be better if I'll open and read this letter right now. Otherwise, I'm worried very much...

*Helena opened a letter...in was from her cousen, Hestia. Helena began to read it...*

Oh, what a nice surprise...Balbillus, I'm sure this news will make you happy as well, this is a letter from my cousen Hestia, she writes, that she's fine and her health is in much better condition...that's a really nice surprise!

Welcome, in the name of Gens Scribonia and Factio Purpurea! Nice to see you, in our wonderful Imperium Romanum.
Have lots of fun and spend nice time here, with us.
Best wishes!!!

*Helena entered Casa Plinia...she saw there were planty of guets. Some of them she knew, but some of them were unknown for her...*

Good evening.

*After she saw Pater Familias, Balbillus...*

My congratulations dear Balbillus, wonderful Casa, I like it very much...thanl you one more time for your invitation, as I promissed I'm here.

*Helena knocked on the door...she waited for a while, untile the serve came.*

Oh, this Casa Plinia must be very nice...oh, the serve came...

*The slave opened the door, welcomed Helena and delivered young lady to the room where party was.*

*Helena was searching for Kaleandra, through whole Casa, finally she went out and saw a lady in garden. Helena got closer...*

Oh, grandma, finally I found you...I was searching for you for sooo long time! I had a guest couple minutes ago, Amulius Plinius Balbillus, Pater Familias of Gens Plinia. He came to ask how Hestia is doing, actually I told him, that she is in Rome now, so he was a bit schocked, but that's ok, he'll survive. ....so, he asked me to tell you that he was here and asked you to visit his Casa, today there is a party, so he would be pleased to see you over there as well...I'm coming too.

Actually we've got an invitation to this party, two days ago I guess, but I couldn't remeber, so now we can go, are you coming as well?

Letter to Pater Familias of Gens Scribonia, to Tribunus Plebis, Gaius Scribonius Curio

To be a flower?!...Oh, thank you for the nice words, I'll try.

*After thiese words, Helena smiled, she was so shy, but then she said:*

Of course, I'll tell to my grandma, that you visited us...she'll be glad to come to your party.

So, thank you very much for your visit, it was a pleasure for me. Have a nice day.

*After, the guest left Casa Scribonia*

Oh, I see...of course you may welcome me, I would appreciate that.

Oh, 31 years old...I would say in my point of view you are still young, but in your age, there is a very time to become a Pater Familias. How long you are sui iuris?...ah, party, I will tell you the truth, I love parties, so it means I'll visit Casa Plinia with a great pleasure.

Very well!

*After Balbillus's question, Helena looked down, she smiled and after, she said:*

I have no such experiance to guess how old you can be, but I would appreciate if you would tell me by yourself. ...ah, party, that's wonderful, thank you very much...but let me think. Couple days ago, I got an invitation...I guess, it was from you...yes, yes, now I can remember, the invitation from Casa Plinia, that's right. So, thank you very much and excuse me, that I couldn't remember about it from the begining, I am through this Casa stuff, cause father is in Rome and my thoughts are just about it...I think I will come with a great pleasure.

*A serve knocked on the door of Tablinum, where Helena and Kaleandra had very serious discusion...the serve entered and gave a letter to Helena. Young lady opened it and saw that it was a letter from her beloved father, Gaius Scribonius Curio. She was very happy. She began to read it...*

Oh, grandma, here's a letter from father, what a nice surprise! Let's see what he writes...oh, so you see, he decided to leave Antiope at Senator Hungaricus's house and Selnya will be with father. So, everything is decided and we have no reason to discuse this case again...I'm gonna write an answer as soon a possible. I miss him so much!

*Helena looked at Balbillus, she smiled, but she seemed to be a bit shy, then she said:*

Oh, excuse me...but you seem to be very young to be a Pater Familias. ...ah, unfortunantly, that's true, I didn't knew your family, of course untill now, now I even know it's Pater Familias.

Oh, I used to live in Italia, in Rome for quite long time as well, but my homeland is Hispania, Tarraco and this Casa Scribonia...in Rome I was missing my Casa, Tarraco, it's people...and of course my beloved garden. ...so, you are going to stay in Tarraco, that's very nice.

I see, that's very nice...do you live in Hispania, in Tarraco as well, or? I'm glad you like our Casa, it's a really very special place for me. We have a wonderful garden as well...and actually I don't know Plinia family. What kind of relative you are to Pater Familias of Gens Plinia?

*Helena looked at her guest and smiled, then she said:*

Ah, dear friend, don't be surprized...I used to be in the same situation when I heared, that she went to Rome. I was not in Casa Scribonia for some days and when I came back, she was already in Rome...nobody could stop her, in her point of view, it was necessary for her to be in Rome...I was worried, her health and life...oh dear, but now we got a letter from Rome. She is fine and I feel myself much better now.

May I ask you...how do you know my cousen Hestia?...of course first of all, thank you very much for your attention and your visit and our meeting is a pleasure for me.

So, you were interessted how, my cousen, Scribonia Hestia feels herself. Well, I would say, she's pretty well, at least I hope so...she is in Rome right now, in Casa Scribonia with my father, Tribunus Plebis, Gaius Scribonius Curio.

Oh, thank you very much

Nice to meet you Amulius Plinius Balbillus. It's very kind from your side...but why don't you enter. Guests, in Casa Scribonia are always welcome, so please, follow me to Innenhof .

*Helena and Balbillus entered Casa.*

*Helena heared someone was knocking on the door....no serves were to open it, so Helena went, and opend the door by herself. There was a young man....*

Hello, I'm Scribonia Helena. Welcome to Casa Scribonia, please enter.

*Helena looked at Kaleandra and smiled to her...then said:*

I'm foolish either, my dearest grandma. So, that's nice, you admit by yourself, that hypnoze doesn't works on you..so you could stop her, but you did not, that's another case...when gods are helping us, it doesn't means, that we have to forget, that we should help ourselves as well, letting Hestia to go to Rome had a price of the great risk of her health, but today I got a news, that she feels much better and she is in Casa Scribonia, in Rome....and I don't think, that such realtions which Hestia has with thiese slaves is rightful...I repiate again, they are not people, they are things, things, which belong to our Pater Familias!

*Helena looked at Kaleandra, she was very serious, then she said:*

You taught her to hypnotize, so I guess it dosn'e works on you....I trust and belive in gods, but anyway, we should take care and not risk with our family member's life. You want to go to Rome?! I don't know. I think I need to talk with father first, I'll send him a letter as soon as possible, but not today, I'm tired...I don't know why, but I feel a kind of weakness inside
