Considering I posted this so wretchedly late, I'm not surprised - hope the Greek Civ studying went well!

The crux of the conversation between Cicero and Brutus was the hardest part to write, especially their reasons for going with Pompey, stripped of any falsehoods. Brutus was easier, of course, but Cicero took some fortuitous inspiration. I'm so glad that part struck you, as well.

Oh, I'm afriad Brutus and Cicero were already alcoholics before we started playing with them. At least now they have company - and they're even more adorable (and cuddly) when they've had a little wine...
