I had a huge grin on my face the whole way through this. I loved Marcus starting out so confidently and thinking disparagingly about how native tribes can't hold their wine and then completely getting his comeuppance, LOL. And Esca taking care of him but unable to resist a little teasing. :)

Mithras must indeed favor you, for you are once again victorious in battle!

Aww, thank you! I feel like Marcus's journey through life in Britain will be one long string of instances of Esca telling Marcus so XD

Just made it again! :)

Adorable. And rather appropriate seeing as I have a beer induced hangover this morning. Oh, Marcus, you poor fool!

Oh, I have so much catching up to do with this challenge - but I'm glad I started here, this is priceless and I love their monosyllabic conversation which nevertheless says all the important things and is too complicated for poor drunk Marcus!

Oh gosh, me too. I feel awful that I haven't even read other people's entries but I'm only juuuust sneaking under the deadline every time D: Thanks so much, though, so glad you enjoyed!
