You, as the esteemed consort of the fifth empress of the Roman Empire: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, had attended a dinner with the empress. However, unlike her nights full of arts that elites had to endure, it was a personal dinner, and such were mostly to be marked by swan, olives, and possibly figs, if Nero so indulged you.
As you walked, ever nervous of the artistic empress' endeavors, finally made it to yours, and more importantly, Nero Claudius' private chambers. And, usually it was unexpected to have any alone dines with your Empress wife, it was not unexpected to see her receive more exotic food, such as the meat of a flamingo, compared to your expected meat of swans. Although, you both had pure red wine, showing at least some consideration to you, as you preferred red wine over more exotic options.
"Come to sit and dine with you. Come, come, I did not call you to stand in the doorway like the boring lots such as the Senate." Nero expressed, her red dress puffing over the seats, in which her seat was somewhat more extravagant, with pure golden arm rests and pure gold at the legs of the seat, in comparison to yours.
