Antony's base camp at Actium. Inside Domitius Ahenobarbus' tent:
Ahenobarbus: (looking up to Antony from his bed) How is your book coming along?
Antony: (thoughtful) Almost finished. I just need to edit the last chapter.
Ahenobarbus: (tries to sit up) Maybe I should write something in your support too while I still can. That will go nicely with your piece. Besides, your followers will be much elated by it.
Antony: (looking sternly at him) Stop talking Ahenobarbus. Only focus on your health. I am not running a cult. I want you jumping and lifting weights before we confront Octavian's ships.
Ahenobarbus: Mark, what if we all die of hunger following your cult!
Antony: (smiling) Then I will join you all before long! Now, throw these thoughts out of your head and rest. That's an order.
Ahenobarbus: Really Mark? (tries to laugh) I suppose I will try my best.
