*puts you back together carefully* I can't tell you how much your happiness at my Rome drouble makes me go all gooshy. And the Elizabethan English only increases the gooshy! I worried about the fennel, omg, because I wanted to do something with the bread that made it Niobe's bread, and I had to go research and make sure people ate fennel in ancient Rome XD

The last line was like a gift from the gods. I wrote it and went "whoa, where'd that come from? I don't care! Yay!"

*glomps you*
