~Dusan~(February 27 79AD):
That girl who bought me must be nuts. She spoke about equality and rights... Though I like being treated equally, it still made no sense!! People who are bought are nothing but slaves, which are equal to pets!!
I must say she was kind... Probably the kindest master one can ever get (I probay used the same statement for Guildford too, but she was kinder). She let me eat along with her. It was really awkward at first, sitting besides a beautiful redhead and an angry (envious?) guy staring at me while I eat.
He didn't like me much... I didn't like him either... But we acted as if we got along well, otherwise she made us starve the night.
I didn't want to fight that game with the other noble man, but I did it anyway, because she came and requested (First tim seeing a master asking a request to a salve). Even if she didn't ask me as a request, I would have done it. I was a slave after all.
It was an easy win. The opponent was strong, in fact, but didn't have much tactics and speed... The rule was that the first person to fall to the ground, losses.
He attacked, I dodged. I didn't even unsheathe my dagger. And it stayed this way for a while, until, when I decided to make my move. But sadly before I made my first attack, he tripped over his own leg and fell. He lost.
That's why I said it was an easy win. I did nothing significant.
The noble man showered my new master with gifts and praised my bravery, then finally left.
But one thing was a little confusing, whether master's name was 'Flavius' as the noble man calls or 'oggy' as mistress calls. Must be oggy, since mistress was closer to him. She was more approachable, so I went and asked her.
"Mistress, is master's name Flavius or oggy?"
She started laughing, I didn't seem to get why...
"Oggy... Like oggy and the cockroaches??", She laughed.
"Cockroaches?", I asked, still a little confused.
"Ohh it was a TV show I watched when I went to India 15 years ago..."
"Tea we?"
"Oh nothing, you won't get it!!", And she burst out laughing again.
She finally cooled down and said, "he is originally known as Augustus, Augy for short... but his identity is changed to Flavius for the time being due to certain unwanted circumstances..."
Then she told me the whole story about her first meeting with this guy.
"Ohh and one more thing. You don't have to call me mistress or call that idiot as master. Just call us by our names...", She informed me.
It took me a while to get used to this new... Practice? Oggy didn't seemed pleased by her decision.
(February 28 79AD):
We were out on the street to buy ourselves some food and clothing when suddenly, Priscilla stoped at a weapon's store. Something must have caught her eye... Just like the dagger, for which I paid a gold coin.
She went inside and took the archery set made of silver. That is, the bow and the quiver was made of silver and we had to buy the arrows separately. She seemed to fancy it a lot.
Oggy happily bought the set and gave it to her (must be showing off). She didn't really thank him, as if all the money was hers... It was hers actually... She bought me with the money she stole, and I won the money for her. So indirectly it was hers (she claimed so).
I wasn't really interested in anything other that eating pork...
But I knew, something was odd about her... Like she didn't belong to this place... Even then, somehow I felt she was familiar, like we knew from before...
Even the weird name she gave me was familiar. I liked it somehow (I liked Lucius more though).
Then I asked her, "why did you name me 'Dusan'? Is is because, that name fancied you or... Something like that?"
