1) 
[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."]

[He averts his eyes]
You can ask one of the attendants for a robe and help to guide you to the women's bath if you prefer.

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

I understand - it's a different situation.

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

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.
Re: 3
With that backwards tumble he manages to avoid the follow up swipe as he shifts his weight to his hands, rolling his hips to swing his legs out in almost a cartwheel before suddenly swerving back to hammer into Lord Shen's flank.

Re: 3
Once at a suitable place, he springs in, pushing off the ground into a handstand, snapping his legs to trap Shen's sword arm between them to twist and disarm.

[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.
Re: 4
[Eleuseus smiles blithely]
And it would simply be inhospitable for one of Rome's public servants to ignore anyone.

... 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?*
