00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:48,137
It occurs to me
that we may be able
to help one another.

365
00:28:49,739 --> 00:28:51,474
A question.

366
00:28:51,574 --> 00:28:54,644
Have you ever seen this Tenax
in the company
of the Emperor's brother?

367
00:28:54,744 --> 00:28:56,846
Not with my own eyes.

368
00:28:56,946 --> 00:28:59,048
But I'm told that Tenax is
Domitian's client.

369
00:28:59,782 --> 00:29:01,117
Rumor has it
that it was Domitian

370
00:29:01,217 --> 00:29:03,286
who approved
Tenax's Gold Faction.

371
00:29:05,188 --> 00:29:07,790
This is where
you give me a dagger

372
00:29:07,890 --> 00:29:10,460
and ask me
to slit Tenax's throat?

373
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,730
I assure you there are more
competent man for that task.

374
00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:16,032
I don't want you to kill Tenax.

375
00:29:17,333 --> 00:29:19,302
I want you to ask him for work.

376
00:29:31,481 --> 00:29:32,382
It is all right.

384
00:29:59,108 --> 00:30:01,377
Why waste
my last moments on sleep?

385
00:30:03,212 --> 00:30:06,849

and my son Ahren.

386
00:30:06,949 --> 00:30:08,051
You would honor us.

I won't see them again.

Your husband fights well.

391
00:30:31,274 --> 00:30:33,276

And when I do,

394
00:30:37,313 --> 00:30:39,549
the three of us
will return to Buri.

395
00:30:40,183 --> 00:30:42,618

397
00:30:44,353 --> 00:30:46,689
Me and Linza will breed both,

398
00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:50,927
and ourselves as well,
making more babies,
lots of them.

399
00:30:51,027 --> 00:30:52,228
Would you like to be
a big brother?

400
00:30:52,328 --> 00:30:54,931
(CHUCKLES) Yes, you'd be
a good big brother.

401
00:30:57,066 --> 00:30:59,202

to ask the Gods for.

I ask the Gods
to protect you, my brother.

an entreaty to the Gods

for me?

407
00:31:20,790 --> 00:31:21,958
Not wasted.

I will visit your farm

409
