Ali Alieus

"WHO LET THEM IN HERE????"

Lady Rey is now furious. It is very unusual that anything would ever alarm her. The boys seem oblivious and pay her no mind.

Ali, ALI_she calls. Ali is her right hand man. He came to Pompeii ahead of her to prepare the villa. He is Nubian and was a mercenary in the Egyptian army He was taken prisoner and slated for the blood sports of the colesseum in Rome.

"Dear Lady, a thousand pardons. They were playing in the road, and I thought best they play here where it is safe. The chariots drive by so fast. They are just innocent street urchins and really mean no harm."

"Do they not have homes? Do they not have mothers cries Reylari?"

The small boys hang their heads in shame. Here there must be an entire team of some sort.

"Ali Alieus take them to the kitchen and feed them, but please remove them from my sight. I am expecting guests from Rome and abroad."

This has not been the best of days for Lady Reylari.
