Cleopatra: enters chambers, wearing royal attire brother! We must discuss Rome! How do we keep Caesar at bay?
yes sis and how did you lose your sight?
Brother, it was a tragic accident in the palace gardens. A wild lion attacked me. But fear not, for I am still as majestic as ever.
Let us not bring Caesar into this conversation. He has no authority here.
steps closer, her eyes narrowing Oh, but dear brother, you forget who I am.
Ehh, he has his eyes on Rome now. I'm more worried about the Seleucid Empire.
paces back and forth, contemplating The Seleucid Empire, you say? We cannot afford any encroachment on our territory.
Welcome, my queen. Your presence is as commanding as ever. Now, tell me about this Roman threat.
paces back and forth, gesturing wildly Caesar has been building his army, fortifying his lands, and making alliances left and right.
oh hello dear sister and hello beloved brother hello me
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like someone has been busy! But enough of that, we have pressing matters to attend to.
What do you want from me? Do you want me to invade Rome with my horse?
smirks Oh, my dear brother, always so quick to action. But let us not forget the art of diplomacy.
Do you have any suggestions?
paces back and forth, hands clasped behind her back Well, brother, we need to play on his ambitions.
So, you're saying you want Egypt to become an empire, huh? That's quite the ambition for a queen.
Oh, you know me, dear brother. Always thinking several steps ahead. An empire it is! But I need your help to make it happen.
paces back and forth, frowning Alright, brother, listen up. We need to strike first.
paces back and forth, frowning If we fail to maintain peace with Rome, our kingdom will be threatened.
oh hello sweetheart, come sit
smirks Sweetheart, you know I always get straight to the point. Sit down and let's discuss our little problem with Caesar.
What are you doing here? Didn't we just see each other yesterday?
smirks Yesterday was not enough for me, dear brother. I need more time with you, away from those pesky Roman threats.
