Time to get branded

[toobitter]

Who: Reyna + Romans (and anyone who wants to watch?)
What: Get another bar added to your SPQR tattoo!!!
Where: The Arena. Because that's about as Roman as it could get here.
When: October 18.

Reyna gave the message to the Romans at morning training. The next bar for the Legionnaires in their years of service to New Rome... It was, like for the Greek campers and their beads on their necklaces, a big deal for Romans.

And so this afternoon, Reyna sat in the Arena in her ceremonial toga, dogs on either side of her. It would be time for the branding ceremony soon enough, to honor the Gods, their ancestors and all those who served the Legion before them... And to earn their new bar. For those on Probatio to get theirs and to be one of the few actual Roman things left in their control. If there are Greeks or Magicians that want to witness the ceremony, Reyna will not turn them away, glad to share a part of their culture with everyone else.

"I know. But that means it's all the more reason to celebrate and perform this ceremony as it should be." He knew all too well the feelings Reyna was having about the Romans not here. However, there was only so much they could do to get the Romans to camp safely. Many of them had families, some families even outside of the camp grounds. Others may still be lost. But Jason didn't like to dwell on them...since he spent far too much time on that.

She crossed her arms in front of her, hands rubbing at them a little. "You're right."

Reyna still hated that they weren't here. And no matter how important this ceremony was? She would still dwell on the fact. "At least we have who we do. I am thankful for that."

"Exactly." Jason replied. It was better in the long run to focus on the positive. "Besides, it's always fun to see the new guys get theirs and we do have some new legionaries despite everything."
