[The magistrate prompt]

[Welp, Eleuseus the Hawk (or the Empress' Dog as some people call him behind his back) just called you to his office about a week after you done something you really shouldn't have in Rome. He smiles disarmingly]

Come in, make yourself comfortable - do have a drink, I believe we got much to discuss.

2)

[Long day at politics, backstabbing, or zaniness? There's nothing better to soothe away the tension then with a nice, steaming hot bath in Rome. Servants are flitting about offering drinks, massages, special massages, food, spare robes for those who find their clothes missing in suspicious circumstances, and can-we-be-more-blatant-by-what-they-mean-massages? He takes a glass of wine and waves the rest off. Slowly he turns to you]

You look embarrassed, is this the first time you took part in a public bath?


3)

[Obligatory battle duel thread. Whether it's personal honor, just for fun, serious business, or a demonstration - you are fighting this guy. Eleuseus undoes his long dark overcoat and tosses it behind him. He has no weapons on him, but he looks confident still as he rolls his weight from one foot to the next, giving you a beckoning gesture]

4)

[Party time! Eleuseus is still neat as a pin, and a remarkable show of restraint compare to the rest of the party as he moves through the crowd, whispering to one person, dancing with another before excusing himself, even he rounds out to you, offering a glass]

Are you enjoying yourself?

[The answer is "first time in a mixed-sex bath, yes."]

[This is all Excellen's fault somehow.]

I...um, I don't want to be rude, I just...I've seen this much of a man professionally, but not...

[Heading for the nearest robe-delivering servant at maximum wading speed.]

Oh, he's used to fighting unarmed opponents. And he'll do it with his clothes on, thank you.

The fight starts as fights with Shen often start, with a distracting volley of throwing knives right behind which he charges forward with a great swing of a guan dao sword.

The kick is blocked upward with a metal-shod foot and Shen whirls under it, striking first with his tail (which is a lot heavier than it looks) and then with the guan dao again in another wide arc.

He may have fought kung fu masters, but this kind of flipping about was something not even Monkeys engaged in to such an extent and it throws Shen off, if only for a moment. However, that moment was long enough for Eleuseus to twist his wing and send the guan dao clattering across the floor and eliciting a high-pitched squawk. Shen backs up and pivots, fanning out his tail for an instant before reversing field, whirling, and bringing sharp metal talons round in an upward spin-kick.

Immensely.

[She smiles and accepts the glass. Did he happen see her staring at him?

Good.]

And you? You seem to be quite the social creature. I've noticed you've been speaking with absolutely everyone tonight.

I agree completely. You're a servant of the State, are you? Well, I admire your devotion to your duties. Not that I blame you, it's easy to be ardent when there are so many engaging people to talk to.

*How odd, for a British-looking woman to be standing before you, in a distinctive black uniform, with a giant claw over one arm. Still, right now, Kallen Stadtfeld of the Black Knights is your opponent.*

... If you insist.

*And then, she suddenly disappears. Eleuseus, having tracked rumors, already knows Kallen's signature technique of teleportation abuse. The problem is, he also has to try and match her secondary technique of changing how she uses it every time. Which side will she appear at?*

*After a few seconds, he hears her land to one side... Several paces away. Then, the claw on her left arm launches, full force, at Eleuseus. She speaks no further.*
