I thought they wouldn't execute Barard because he looks like a child, and it's forbidden to execute children. *tips head and ponders* I guess they're desperate enough to make that move?

You have to remember, that was Faros's interpretation (that if Barard *looked* like a child it would cause a riot to execute him). Sulos will have some words to say on the subject, but to have a horse as an adviser Daros has to have a certain amount in common with a mad Roman Emperor.

And don't you dare get sick!

I'll try not to, it sounds like the genuine flu article, though :( Hopefully, I'll get chapter 10 off to beta this weekend, so if I do fall sick, it won't put me off schedule...

Glad you enjoyed. :)

My history sucks. Would this Roman Emperor happened to have been stabbed to death by all his senators and his best bud?

Seems that if Faros has that opinion, then he wouldn't be the only one. It could very well start a riot - with the help of a determined little bird. :) Can't wait to see what Sulos thinks of all this and just how Tom is going to rescue Barard. ^_^

No, Julius wasn't mad, but he set the scene, by taking Rome from a democracy to an Empire. It was the totally mad Caligula I was thinking of, although Daros is not as dangerously mad as Caligula (who did some very vile things). Daros is paranoid rather than schizophrenic; a state of mind which is encouraged by his previously mentioned cousin, Karios, the Jackal.

Ah, see, Xena forgot to mention that Caligula had a horse for an advisor, otherwise I would have known that. :P Actually as soon as you mentioned madness, I thought of Caligula. The horse-advisorer thing I thought was more a showing of arrogance, and so I thought of Caesar first.
