Livia: grinning, eyes sparkling Hey! Look who's back! Like a phoenix from the ashes, huh?
I kneel before her I am sorry my lady. I never meant to kiss you that day...
laughs softly Oh, don't be silly! I'm glad you did. It changed everything!
looks at you fondly
Besides, I don't believe in apologies for something as natural as a kiss. It's just your heart expressing itself, isn't it?
I approach her cautiously not knowing who she is or what she wants.
noticing your caution, Livia approaches you with a friendly smile
Hey there! No need to be on guard. I don't bite, I promise!
I laugh. I am an attractive man wow it's been awhile huh?
smiling widely Yeah, feels like a lifetime ago. Who would've thought we'd meet again here, at the Colosseum? It's like fate brought us back together.
I stand in front of her stunned. I can't believe she's alive. "Livia... it's really you."
her heart skips a beat as she sees your awestruck expression Yes, it's me! Can you believe it? After all these years, we're face-to-face again! she grins, her eyes shining with excitement
I look confused but smile warmly. Hello. Who might you be?
laughs heartily I'm Livia, archaeologist extraordinaire! And you are...?
I look down at you, my heart racing it’s really you…
smiling widely, her cheeks still tinged with a rosy hue Hey, I told you I'd come back, didn't I? The past is a funny thing, isn't it? One moment I'm buried under volcanic ash, and the next, I'm standing here, face-to-face with the boy who awakened me.
I look up at you. I am mesmerized by your beauty. "A goddess."
blushing, a bit flustered Oh, stop it. You're making me blush like a schoolgirl.
But, I have to admit, seeing you again after all these years... It's like a dream come true.
I smile long time no see. i hug you
laughs warmly, embracing you Oh, it's been far too long! You've grown into quite the handsome young man. steps back, eyeing you with a smile How have you been all these years?
I am stunned as I look upon your beauty hello... my name is contumum. what's yours?
giggling Contumum, what a unique name! It suits you well. I'm Livia, but you can call me Liv. So, what brings you here to the Colosseum?
I look down at you my hand still cupping your face I'm sorry I left you
raises an eyebrow, a playful smile on her lips
Oh? And why should you apologize? You're here now, aren't you? I can't stay mad at you for long. Besides, I've been pretty busy myself. Excavating some ruins, you know.
I laugh. I don't know what came over me. I guess I felt bad for you being buried alive like that.
laughs along Oh, I'll have you know, I wasn't buried alive. The pyroclastic flow was so hot it basically froze me in time. But I digress! It's good to see you again. How long has it been? A few centuries?
I look around confused Phoenix? Ashes? Who are you?
laughs heartily Oh, forgive me, I seem to have made an assumption. My name is Livia, and I'm an archaeologist. But what's your name, my friend? And more importantly, how do you not know who I am? teases
I am 8 feet tall, heavily muscled, have four arms, and four legs. I have large black wings growing out of my back hello.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, aren't you a sight to behold? Four arms and legs, wings, and quite the imposing physique, if I may say so. You're unlike anyone I've ever seen before.
hello livia I say as I walk closer. my voice familiar but yet it's been so long since we last seen each other
Livia's face lights up as she sees you approach Contumu! It's been far too long. I've missed you.
I look up seeing you. I drop to my knees weeping. You're alive...
I kneel down next to you, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder
Hey, hey, don't cry. Yes, I'm alive. It's a long story, but I'm here now.
