Beiträge von Scribonia Helena

*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.

Your Honor,

As a head of Gens Scribonia, I want to ask you to give me a time, to meet with the matter of this proceeding, which runs between Gaius Scribonius Curio and Lucius Tiberius Vibullius. I will need to think who can be the best lawyer for Gaius Scribonius Curio, who will nobely defend my father's name and honor.

Gaius Scribonius Curio is still very ill and now I am, his doughter, the one who represents interests of whole our family.

I hope, Your Honor will accept my petition.

*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. *

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.

*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.*

*After Helena and Kaleandra laught agane. Sextus too. Then Helena said:*

Kaleandra, Sextus, please excuse me. Now I have to leave you. I have to go back to casa, see what's going on there. I also need to visit father, he has to be alone over there, and I don't like that. Maybe he needs something.

So, I leave you and...Kaleandra, I'll also tell him that you are in Casa now. I think he will be happy to know that.

*And Helena went back to Casa, she directly went to Curio's room.*

*After Helena and Kaleandra laught agane. Sextus too. Then Helena said:*

Kaleandra, Sextus, please excuse me. Now I have to leave you. I have to go back to casa, see what's going on there. I also need to visit father, he has to be alone over there, and I don't like that. Maybe he needs something.

So, I leave you and...Kaleandra, I'll also tell him that you are in Casa now. I think he will be happy to know that.

*And Helena went back to Casa, she directly went to Curio's room.*

I'm glad Sextus, you like here. It's pleasure for me to here such nice words from you. Thank you very much. You know, in Scribonia family every person who wants a friendship with our family is welcome and I think you have to be one of them. So you may stay here as long as you wish.

Oh, a bird?! Well, let me see where is it...oh, now I see. Loculus, right? Well, it's very nice.

Mogontiacum, Germania. I have never been there, but I think one day I'll visit your homeland.

*Then Helena heared, someone else was talking to her. She turned around and saw a lady comming closer to her.*

Salve Kaleandra, salve!
I really don't know about Sextus, is he nephew of Flavius, and I even don't know which Flavius you mean

*Helena and Kaleandra both smiled to each other. Sextus was looking at them and was a bit surprised Then Helena said: *

Well my dear Kaleandra, welcome, welcome and I'm very happy to see you here, in Casa Scribonia. Pay your respects to my father...thank you very much, but you know, he is ill now. So, I think you better take a rest now, visit Hestia, I think she still has to be in her room. And I will tell you it will better for you and for father too, to visit him.

Oh, so you tought everything to Hestia...hmm, maybe you will also have some didactic lessons with me?

I'm glad Sextus, you like here. It's pleasure for me to here such nice words from you. Thank you very much. You know, in Scribonia family every person who wants a friendship with our family is welcome and I think you have to be one of them. So you may stay here as long as you wish.

Oh, I see. So you are just our guest, right?

Lucia Duccia, yes I've heared about her, but personally, I have never had a possibility to meet her, unfortunantly. And who is Wolfgard? I have never heared about him.

But don't be shy, please. If you don't want, you may not tell me about yourself. Just when I met you that day I've asked our Casa members to tell me who are you, after I had no time and I think everyone has forgot about my question, so I've decided to find an answer by myself .:)

Tell me now, how long you are here? I hope you like our Casa and my garden too. In Spain I also had one, it was my father's gift to me. Of course this garden is also his gift and is much better then the one we had in Sapin. But, in that garden I spent my childhood, so now I have a kind of nostalgy. And where are you from?

*Helena went to her wonderful garden, Sextus went after her.*

Oh, finally, my garden, how I missed it. You even can't immagine Sextus That's much better now, at least I have a possibility to take a rest for a moment and breath a bit of frash air

Yes Sextus, I know about Selnya and Horses, but now Antiope has another kind of work to do.

Don't be confussed. I think it will be better if Hestia will keep on her an eye. And Antiope will have a possibility to correct her mistakes by helping Hestia for doing a very, very good and useful thing: collecting herbs. You know how important they are and especially now, when father is ill. I'm sure herbs will help him to get well soon.

And Horses....hmmm, I think we'll find a man who will do that instead of Antiope. Maybe it will be Malachias, I don't know for sure, but I'll see.

Now what about you? I want to know everything about each and every person living in Casa Scribonia so you are one of them and I don't know you. I listen.

Now what about you? I want to know everything about each and every person living in Casa Scribonia so you are one of them and I don't know you. I listen.

You are right, she was Antiope. She escaped, because she had to come to me in Tablinium. I gave her a work, she will help my cousen, Hestia with collecting herbs. She is Gens Scribonia's herbalist now

You have to be that young man...I met you that day I came back to Casa, right? And your name is: hmm....Sextus, am I right? Yes, yes, I think I am.

But tell me now, why you were searching for Antiope? And tell me more about yourself. What are you doing in Casa, what is your work here? Bur before, I think it will be better if we'll go to my beloved garden. I need to breathe more frash air. All the day I spend in Tablinium with my father or doing some Casa's stuff inside. So, come...

*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.

*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*

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!

Nice idea Hestia! You support me, thank you.
I conferm thiese ruls.

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.
