As Proximo arrived Rome, the gates opened and inside he entered. However he did not come alone, together with him the beautiful princess of Germania followed as well her guardian. It was night, but still busy the life inside were. Everywhere people traveled, from house to house as also on the street. The horse Proximo rode upon was a black horse, though had to dismount it as he closer came home.
"Welcome to Rome, a city of a million citizens. I am sure you might find it strange here, but you get used to it."Proximo spoke kindly, telling Catriona and her guard that it was nothing to worry about, even different it was then their culture in north.

"Well, tonight your staying as my guest. Tomorrow I will tell the senate the great news of our alliance, I am sure they will be pleased." Proximo said smiling, but turned to look at Catriona who followed. He could see everyone staring, thought to him it did not matter. She was beautiful and it was obvious many wished to have her close, as when through the street they went, men asked for her to join them."I must apology for these men, they don't know who they are speaking too. Come, here we are."He continued speaking, as he lead them into the courtyard of his house were slaves went to greet them welcome. A smile soon came on his face, glad to be home but even happier to have a royal person on visit.

Catriona listened to him and nodded, ignoring the men's comments. When they got to his house, she saw all the slaves, and this was strange. True they had servants but they were all payed hire. The horses were taken by the slaves and Cat grabbed her bag, her guard following them. They entered the home and Catriona looked around curiously.

"I hope you will like it here, if there is anything you can always ask me or the slaves." Proximo spoke with a smile, kindly looking as he watched Catriona enter his house. She was a fascinating woman, every movement she made was a sight to remember. The cloths she had on were surely suitable a woman like her, but probably difficult it would get in the warm that lingered in Rome. Proximo`s and Catriona`s culture surely was different from each other, even the people acted the same. As soon everyone was inside, the doors were closed and further in he lead them."I am not quite sure, but I believe you and your guard still wishes a room for yourself? Although if you wishes to be close, I could always find some rooms that are close to each other."He suggested, curious in what they would choose but hoped to figure a way. Perhaps with time the rooms would find them self useful, in case more things were to happen between Proximo and the German princess.

"I have to stay close to my Princess, the king's orders," the guard said and laughed. "Yes, we would like our own rooms but he will have to stay close," she told him and then she looked around. "This is a big house," she said in awe. Then she looked to her guard and smiled, "Lighten up some," he smiiled and nodded, "Of course princess." He had worked with her since she was born so he was also protective of her.

"Alright, well I am sure we can find some rooms that fits you both."Proximo answered but quickly clapped his hand together, telling his servants to take their belongings inside and into their rooms. Kindly he kept watching Catriona as not far away stood, but offered to show the way to where they could rest for the night."Come, let me show you your rooms."He spoke, but lead the princess and her guard upstairs. Where the could stay and be as long they wished, close to his own bed chamber.

Catriona nodded and followed him through the large house, her guard following them. It was a strange sight. Again, Cat removed her top layer of clothing considering how hot it was there. It was crazy! How could people live here? Already she missed her home. "it's so hot here, how can you stand it?" She asked him.

After Proximo had lead Catriona and her guard to the rooms they were given, he listened to what she said as surprisingly more of her cloths got removed. He had to smile when she though it was hot, even to him it was normal."Oh, you`ll get used to it. All those living in areas like these are used to such warm, its normal, at least for some of us. "He said kindly, looking at her more interested then before as less cloths she was wearing. More of her skin now showed, which attracted him but said nothing about it.

She smiled to him politely as she entered her room and she placed her things on the floor. Then she sat on the bed and looked up at him, "So how do you keep cool?" She asked curiously, "I haven't felt a cold breeze since we arrived," she pointed out to him as she looked at him. For the moment they were alone as the guard was unpacking his things in his room across the hall.

"Well, there are many ways to keep them self cool from the heat."Proximo answered with a smile, looking at Catriona with every interest and curiosity as she sat down on the bed she was given. She was a beautiful lady, who as well seemed strong and rough. As they spoke to each other, he could not hear her guard who was on the other room next by. He thought it was interesting that they were let alone to talk, even great it was to spend sometime to speak without anyone around. With a kind look, Proximo sat down next to the princess and continued speaking."Sometimes we take a bath when it gets to warm, sometimes we find cool spots were its possible to stay or we simply do other things."With that said, thoughts of undressing came to his mind. Every person who stayed in Rome after time would always like to stay naked during the warm weather who surrounded them, but still it all depended on the person who felt them self to hot. Deeply into Catriona`s eyes, Proximo watched as he wondered a lot what she would answer.

"Well hopefully I'll adjust because it is hot!" She said, fanning herself with a piece of paper. She flopped back on the and and stared at the ceiling for a moment and then she looked to him, "So what do Romans do for fun?" She then asked. He could tell she knew little of his culture, undoubtedly it was because she was a woman. They were not entitled to know information outside of what they needed, they were considered to be "dumber" than men were. Most men believed they needed to know what to do with children, around the house, and in the bed and that was it. When Catriona thought of such a simple lifestyle, she could easily see why Narne liked to travel. She saw new sites and wonders. She ate different foods and felt many fabrics and seen more than she could ever imagine. She closed her eyes thinking of this and she could help but laugh softly, just out of joy.

Proximo smiled to what she said, but still watched every movement she made. She was beautiful and he could not take his eyes away from her, the longer she stayed close around him the more his desire grew. When she spoke of fun, he could not stop but thinking of things he had wished for long, although kept normal as a lot he respected her. During her laughs, he took the chance to come closer while he answered to what she asked."Hehe well, don't you know?"He spoke with a smile, but laid down beside her, hoping it was alright for him to stay close as he now did. With a look of interest, he watched the Germanian princess. The look of her beauty was a sight that pleased him very much, not only was she king and wise but also rough in many ways. Her culture was different then his, thought did not matter as still she were a woman he cared about. Inside him, feelings grew and more he hoped there was a chance about them getting together. With his head leaned on his hand, he still watched but tried to gain contact as slowly his hand started to move up her arm and toward her cheek.

At his touch, her eyes wandered to his and she looked curiously up at him, "A kind touch for a woman whom you barely know," she said with a smirk and then she sat up, "And you didn't answer my question. What do Roman's do for fun?' She asked him again.

"Oh well, many things to do in Rome if you seek fun. There always are theaters, gladiators, public baths, making love with those you like...things like that."Proximo said with a smile, still looking at Catriona who sat up beside him. She truly was a beauty, who he loved being around. However she was a tough lady, a woman who not easily were to get in touch with as mostly she backed away by the things he did. He just hoped he did not offend her, although on the other she somehow seemed to like it. Alone they were in the room, as her guardian was in the room next to them. Still he watched her, wondering what now would happen.

"You speak those words as if it means so little to you," she said to him, refferring to his last suggestion. It was then a servant came to them with a note. It was an invitation from one of his friends, it was saying that it was his birthday this night and they were to celebrate it. It also said to bring his "lady friend." It seemed to Cat that words travelled fast in this city.
