dentata.

nearly two decades after the incident with the rug, and shortly after marc antony died in her arms, she was taken to octavian. he, supposedly, was interested in neither relationship nor alliance. she killed herself, putting her hand into a basket full of snakes. a basket full of snakes. honestly, octavian. after you called her a sorceress and all that, did you really think i wouldn't know? the message here is clear. someone was more interested in abandonning throne and riches and running off with some servant girl, your beautiful creature of a servant girl, it should be noted, than being yours. i do hope you enjoyed the gift of one other servant girl, dead, snake swollen, who may once have almost posessed charms comperable to those of the one you wanted. poor boy. i can't say i blame you for going along with the lie, though.

dance your cares away!

while making tea for kaitlin and myself, she threatened (promised) that if i made hers incorrectly, she would put me in the oven.

my friends are home or will be here soon. i am so very happy. (and i have tea.)
