Climbing onto your robes, tiny claws digging into the fine robes you were adorned into, Dondas curled himself in your protective arms, much to his owner’s delight.

“He truly likes you!” Emperor Caracalla exclaims, pointing at his monkey, which you were now petting. Sitting beside you on his lavish bed, he sips from a goblet of wine, truly enchanted with the trust Dondas showed in you. You must’ve been a good person, if the monkey enjoyed your proximity so much. Well, your company was more enjoyable than anyone else’s, anyway. You definitely understood his genius.

Offering you the goblet he just drank from, half full with the burgundy liquid, Caracalla smiles.
