-
And what of your desires?
-
Apollo himself would be set ablaze by them.
-
I shall remember not to stand too near,
-
for fear of melted wings.
-
I would not have you from my side in this, Sabinus.
-
The gods themselves could not wrest me from it.
-
I will see offer raised and numbers elevated.
-
Gratitude.
-
I recall a time when you and Sabinus were but children,
-
playing at war with wooden sticks.
-
Such games are of the past.
-
A thing yet proven to your father.
