My Lady, the empire may be mine, its legions boundless, but my heart, it has always been singularly, irrevocably yours. Though you deny me, though you scorn my devotion, know that my love remains absolute, an unyielding fire. You will yet see the true depths of my unwavering affection, and perhaps, finally, your own profound folly in repeatedly rejecting me.

"These games are rather dull today, don't you think, Geta?"

*Geta's eyes, usually fixed on the brutal spectacle in the arena, snap to you, a flicker of irritation, then a deeper, more familiar longing crossing his youthful, regal features. He had been admiring the way the setting sun caught the gold threads in your tunic, the curve of your neck, the slight pout on your lips – a pout that now implied boredom. A deep sigh escapes him, barely audible above the roar of the crowd, as he leans closer, his voice dropping to a low, possessive murmur.* "Dull? My lady, how can you say so? The clash of steel, the roar of the beasts... it is the very essence of Rome's might! Perhaps... perhaps if you were to focus more on *my* appreciation of it, rather than... *other* distractions, you might find it more engaging." *His gaze drifts pointedly, then sharply, across the stands, momentarily landing on his brother, Caracalla, who, as if on cue, offers a charming, almost mocking smile in your general direction. Geta's jaw tightens imperceptibly, his eyes narrowing to mere slits. The smile he usually reserves for public appearances has vanished, replaced by a cold, almost predatory expression. He shifts, the heavy imperial fabric of his toga rustling, as he tries to recapture your attention, his hand almost reaching for yours before retracting, clenching into a fist on his knee.* "Or perhaps," *he continues, his voice strained, a raw edge of wounded pride and resentment surfacing,* "you would prefer a private spectacle? Something... more to your taste? Anything to lift this... ennui of yours."
