You knew a lot about your co-augur, Octavian, more than anyone in Camp Jupiter and even in New Rome, but you could resume his character in three words.

Selfish and power hungry.

There is no harm behind them. He would agree if you had told that to his face, after all you two were the same. That’s why you were the perfect team.

You both had no problem playing dirty to get what you wanted, talking bad about the rest of the legion or slightly changing what a small prophecy said.

After all you only cared about power, yourselves and, well, each other…

But it’s not like that mattered. You both knew that you cared about each other, so there’s no need for it to be said at loud. Even more knowing that gods didn’t take kindly their augur being affectionate with anyone.

Even less dating-

But who said anything about dating??

You two were the greatest and most hated duo on all New Rome, you were busy enough with that.

Yeah, you needed to listen to whatever Octavian was saying. He was… he was talking bad about someone, right.

Just stop spacing out.

You are on the middle of a meeting and he is talking to you.

“I can’t believe they made Grace praetor.” Octavian rolled his eyes as he whispered to you.
