"Yes dominus" The youth said as he clenched his fist together. He preformed proskynesis once more and left the room. He hurried pas a few scribes and man servants as he sped towards the courtyard. "How could he!.. that Senile old fool" The young male used his fist to knock over a flask of water on a bench, shattering the clay pottery.

He stared in the water, and noticed his reflection. 24 years of age, and a impressive hight of 6"3. His short dark brown hair dancing in the spring wind. His bright grey eyes dancing as little orbs.

"Lets go" he mumbled as he called one of his bodyguards to him and headed towards his family estate. Nearing the gate a Harald called his name.
"Ave Maximus Valerius Galigus. Son of the esteem senator Garius Valerius Galigus" The young male nodded and made his way inside. What father did was.. was an outrage.. So what if they where acquaintances.. You do not bring a pleb into the family...It was an insult to his Dignitas
 
"Welcome to the Valerius family, Lucius."

The boy standing in front of Garius Valerius Galigus was shorter and could have easily been mistaken for a girl if he wasn't carefully looked at, and it was obvious that he was not raised in a pleb family. He smiled up at the older man, and bowed his head respectfully to his new father and the others in the household who touched him and came to get a good look at him. He was well fed, but he was slim, but he looked like nothing out of the ordinary. His hair was black and curly, his skin a little tan from obvious exposure to the sun, and unlike Maximus, he was quite short.

"Thank you for the act of kindness you've given to me and my mother. Neither of us can ever repay you and your family enough. I truly hope that the events in my future please you a great deal, father. Perhaps, if the great Gods permit it, my dreams will some day come true and I will become a Senator much like yourself, if it pleases you." And with that, he leaned in and pressed a kiss to the side of the other man's face, allowed to do so now that they were family, and he disappeared as he was led off to his new rooms to get settled in. For now, things seemed well... but he wondered about Maximus Valerius Galigus, Garius' older son. He certainly wouldn't be pleased with the new addition to their family, although the boy showed no real threat as he was younger than Maximus by five years.
 
I did not serve 2 years as a cavalry prefect.. to be.. raped of my position by a plebs bum boy His face betrayed nothing of his anger as he moved towards his mother. He smiled gently and kissed her on the cheeks.

"I have been looking forward to this day mother" His mother looked at his young face and touched it briefly. "Honour your new brother, and strengthen our family" The boy nodded as he stepped to the right of his mother.

He flicked his thumbs between his fist as he folded his arms behind his back. He heard the servants call out the signal. "It is time mother"
I'll show the little brat who is the elder here. Looks and innocence do not strengthen your family. Honour and disciplina do

The door opened and he forced himself to smile. His mother noticed the warmth her son was giving of, and was content. "All hail Lucius Valerius Galigus, Honour be towards my family for the warmth we shall receive. And love and affection to embrace my new sibling"

Maximus stood erect his 6"3 imposing yet warm. He held his arms out.
 
(( SO SORRY. I had part of this done and I wasn't thinking when I shut the window to change OS to play a video game, and then I forgot about it... sorry! ))

Lucius stood at the end of his bed, his head bent over the small trunk he had put there with a few things that were special to him. His hand slipped inside to pull out one of the scrolls, treating it delicately as it was something his father had given to him long ago. However, the sound of the doors opening and his new brother's loud voice made the boy jump, and his head turn to look at him with surprised eyes, the scroll falling on the sheets of the bed again.

Maximus was much taller than he was. The boy was slender, but he was of average height for a Roman male his age at five and a half feet... Maximus was practically a giant, quite intimidating considering. He seemed happy, at least, with the new addition to the family, unlike how he imagined his attitude to be. Most people in his circumstances might have been angry and livid, but the boy posed no real threat. It was just a simple gesture of friendliness from one friend to another, although one was dead. Lucius simply had to be taken care of until his studies were finished, and staying in a family already involved with politics was the best way.

"Brother," he said after a moment of silence, seeming to have sized the other up, and a smile slowly rolled over his lips. He moved forward away from his things and towards the bigger man, and although he felt quite unsure about it, he wrapped his arms around him and hugged him, no where near his height in order to press a kiss to his cheeks to show his love for his new sibling. "It's a great pleasure to meet you, brother, and become part of your family."
 
The lady's body servants and maids where beaming from ear to ear as the siblings embraced for the first time. The Domina smiled briefly before gesturing the others to work again. "Maximus, I take it you will show our new Familia around the city tomorrow?" The youth turned around and bent his head gently. "Yes domina" He rearranged his toga gently as he went towards the door. "Until tomorrow" He whispered gently. He closed the door and left the room. Tomorrow I am setting some ground rules in this house.. Just you wait

The following morning was warm, hot even for a spring morning. The youth leant against a small pillar as he head his eyes closed. He wore a small tunic that ended halfway down his powerful thighs. A large leather belt hung loosely on his waist and a small dagger and money pouch was fastened on them. "Come on brother.. I am anxious to leave for the city" He looked towards his right and noticed his brother hastening towards him. "I take it you know how to ride a horse?"

One of the servants rushed towards the boys and presented a mighty black Persian stallion for the older brother, and a timid oak brown bale horse for the youngest. "She has a gently and calm nature. She is yours.. A.. Brothers gift, and many more to come" He wanted the boy to be at ease with him. He wanted to show him two sides of the coin.. If he would behave, their would be gifts.. if he did not was he was told.. their would be something else in store"

"Lets get going al right?" He pressed his powerful thighs together and his horse sped off towards the city.
 
The younger sibling appeared in the courtyard as he was told to the night before, putting a hand over his eyes to shield the brown hues as the sun burned down upon them. He had taken the time to bathe, his hair was still wet and he smelled fresh, and he smiled a little when he saw Maximus. After last night's meeting, it had seemed that things would at least run smoothly today. "Good morning," he said, but he stood a few feet away while he looked at the horses.

He was wearing an expensive tunic, one that he had gotten as a gift on his birthday, that was made of a beautiful green color. "I didn't know I was late, I'm sorry." But all the same, he moved toward the horse he was gestured too, moving a hand up to touch the horses cheek and pat it very softly. For only a moment, he focused on the horse, as if trying to bond with her as he looked her in the eye, and then his head turned to look at Maximus as he revealed that the mare was in fact a gift. At this, Lucius seemed beside himself, unsure of what to say, so his mouth opened to speak, but no works came out.

"But… I…" Well, now he felt horrible. He hadn't anything to give his new father, or mother, or brother, but they had bestowed such nice gifts for him. "Brother, you really shouldn't," he said softly, holding onto the reigns of the horse while he watch him get into the saddle. He felt uncomfortable now.. he knew his position, he knew they were helping him, but he couldn't help feeling like a charity case, or that he really didn't deserve these things. "Please, I haven't anything to give back, and your gift will go to such a waste if you give her to me. She's beautiful, I've never had anything like her, but I simply can not allow just an incredible gift for nothing in return, which is all I have to give for now. Brother!" He watched him get up and go, looking around quickly for a moment, and then he got up into the saddles and kneed his mare to move forward, following after Maximus at a gallop in order to catch up with him.
 
The young man simply ignored any protest from his younger brother, He sped off towards the city and within seconds he felt the fresh spring wind rush towards him. His hair dancing as his horse used its long powerful legs to propel him forwards. A broad smile on his face as he looked backwards. The little brat is still with me... Hmm must be a more experienced rider than I though... or perhaps he has been ridden before

The soon entered the city and they found a stable, Throwing a small coin to a familiar boy Maximus pointed his index and middle finger towards his eyes and then towards the two horses. The boy nodded and grabbed the reins from both horses. "Well come on little brother" He guided his little brother towards the crowded market place and noticed Theranas was leaning against one of the pillars there. Theranas was 5"9 and ebony black. His face showed many scars and a nasty cut in his right ear. He was not repulsive looking, yet could frighten a man if he came at you determined.

Theranas was one of his personal slaves now freed slave turned body guard. He had saved the man from a horrible fate, and by doing so earned a life debt. Theranas kept out of sight but would come to his aid in mere seconds. "come now little brother, Pick your poison" The young male made a sweeping motion towards the many stalls in front of him. "And no arguments about the cost or nature, Just pick a few" The young male smiled gently and nodded. "Don't look a given horse in the mouth now" He rubbed his hair gently and guided him towards the first stall.
