HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD MANS. YOU BETTER ENJOY TODAY AND CHILL. THIS IS A THREAT /j

Darn, I think after the last two years, I need to. I've been so caught up with everything I haven't meant to!! Haha, thank you so much!! I've needed to!!

Though I don't consider myself old. Does it show? I try and take things in stride.

Do you have nightmares? And if, what kind of nightmares? What happens in them?

"Oooh well none of them are pleasant, I'll tell ya that!" Max shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "I don't want to talk about it too much, but they usually involve the Colosseum, the old man, or some cruel acting out of my worst fears."

Hey, I heard your parents weren't exactly good people. How do you cope with that?

Rex put his head warily up at the inquiry, running a hand down his face and sighing. This was going to be a trend, wasn’t it? He really didn’t want to deal with this, however reassuring someone was. “Who are you to judge and how did you find that out?” he asked, looking sideways at the person. Sure his parents weren’t exactly...great, but now suddenly it was fair game for everybody to pick up on this. “I don’t appreciate everybody knowing some very personal information about me.”

He turned away, annoyed and yet...he felt a little soft. Sure, he’d moved on, right? Bringing them up didn’t bother him as much, but maybe because he buried those feelings with a whole lot of other things. Maybe it helped that his job practically encouraged him to keep stuff under wraps because of who could end up using it to their advantage. Anyway, he was just going on with some bizarre train of thought, he snapped out of it and turned back with a polite but firm tone.

“Look, I cope with it by not thinking about it, alright? Just...I’m sorry, okay? I haven’t spoken to them in years and I don’t plan to anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean I want them to get involved in anything. I don’t even know why I’m even telling you just that, among many reasons why.”

Hey Rex, are you good at cooking?

He laughed warmly. “Oh, I mean, I guess, quite well? I feel like I don’t give myself time to really cook, but that doesn’t mean I’m not...terrible. I can make myself a half decent meal when I have the time and energy, which isn’t a lot.” He felt slightly embarrassed, since he’d found himself eating ready meals due to his unpredictable work schedule. That didn’t mean he didn’t know how to cook; just not as often.

He winked, offering a grin. “But when I can, I’m a considerable fan of pasta. Reminds me of...before it went downhill.” His voice faded at the end, smile now bittersweet. At least he had that. Pasta wasn’t certainly something he could let go of that easily, especially with what it was attached to.

My emperor, how often do you drink alcohol and how high is your tolerance? Like how much do you have to drink until you're actually drunk?

"Mmmore than I'd like to admit but it depends what kind I'm drinking~"

"See, traditional Roman wine is much, much less potent than most wine so I could down a bottle in a day of that and be fine, but if we're talking the regular stuff I'd say usually two to two and a half glasses does it for me~"

[maximus-arcus-inimicus]

Hi your highness, I just wanted to ask, is there anything you're afraid of? I myself am terrified of wasps and bees.

"I am with you on that one. Particularly bees. Other than that... well, a few more existential fears but we don't need to get deep into those~"
