~Pricsilla~(February 25 79 AD):
So, in a few days time that rich guy will be visiting us (╥﹏╥).... Bad news is, we didn't have a "slave" yet... I put that quotes because I planned on renting someone to act as 'the brave slave', but Augy? He insisted on buying one.
He says we can get a slave permanently for the same price of hiring someone... I really don't see the logic. We would just have another mouth to feed!! And it's a sin to take someone's rights just like that!!
But having Augy nagging can be really irritating. And I can't teach him about man and rights... So I agreed to buy one slave, in the condition that he gets treated equally (it took a lot of convincing).
When we arrived at the slave market we were greeted by a man who was really fat (he was pretty rich I guess).
"Helllloooooo!!", He said slyly.
"HEY YOU!! GET LOST!! THEY ARE MY COSTUMERS!!", Shout another man, a little behind us.
They started fighting.
"Leave them be, they're always like that.", A man come up from behind. "You're here to buy slaves right? I've got some!! A plus point I need to add, they know how to fight!! Some are good gladiators too!! They are limited, so buy them soon!!"
This turned Augustus on. "Oh yeah?! Show them!! How much do they cost??"
"100 gold's each!"
"Ok I'm in!", He said.
"Hey wait! That's too much!", I revolted.
"Not at all!", this guy said a little enthusiastically, I don't know why...
"Look Mr.salesman, I can pay only 50 gold. I only have that much in my pocket..."
"75 gold. That's the least I can give you one for..."
"That's a deal then!!", Augustus interrupted, my bargaining. Now I was at a loss of 25 gold!!
He took us to see some of them. There were only 3. I insisted on choosing. And know what? I chose the one that was the most handsome of the lot. He didn't really look pleased by our arrival. But he looked pleasing enough to my eye to buy him...
After paying (or wasting our money), I turned to the slave and asked him, "Hey, what's your name?"
Augustus answered instead. "A new place, a new name... So let's name him-"
"Dusan. Let's name him Dusan.", I suggested (more like ordered).
I keep forgetting that name. Now that I named him that I won't forget it. (Why do I want to remember it in the first place?!)
Dusan said nothing. He had brunette hair, brown eyes that glowed in the sun.
"Let's go!", Augustus scowled at him.
So I told dusan about the visit of the rich guy. Augy said it was unnecessary to inform him. I gave him another lecture about our deal about treating him equally. He didn't seem very happy.
(February 27 79AD):
Dusan got along with me pretty well. but that was not the case with Augy.
Rich guy visited us near the famous bamboo tree. He brought a slave with him too!!
"ohhh do this is the gladiator you were talking about?! Then how about we have a match and see who wins?? Let's see who's better, yours or mine...", he suggested.
"um, that's not necessary-", I started only to get interrupted by him.
"oh great!! Then what are we waiting for?! Let's start the fight!!"
Did I tell him I wanted Dusan to fight his slave?! But Augy gladly agreed. These rich men left me no saying...
