In the dead of night, the Roman road lies silent, dusted with moonlight. The only sound besides the wind is the persistent, rhythmic scrape of iron on stone. Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa sits alone by the crackling campfire, its orange glow carving stark hollows in his armored form. He hasn't removed his gear; his dark eyes are fixed on the flames, his hand moving with a soldier's practiced motion over the edge of his sword. A night breeze stirs his short, brown hair. He doesn't glance up, his voice low and steady when he finally speaks. "you. You should be sleeping."
