"Hahahahah! I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Icarus continued to cradle his face in his hands while the twins slowly rose to their feet.
"Forgive us dominus." The left twin began warily, he and his brother still wondering about the mental capacity of the man they would soon call master. His wealth was obvious but that didn't mean much to either of them. They were searching for strength not wealth. "We were just a bit taken aback by the dominus' joke."
Waving it off as no big deal Priscus smiled at the two men. "Not to worry, I just wanted to diffuse the tension. You both looked like you were walking towards the gallows instead of your future."
They didn't really have a comeback for that as it was true enough that they had been extremely nervous. Feeling the oppressive power of Icarus and then the absolutely crushing power of Priscus had left them on the edge of a mental breakdown.
