"Salve Quintus Servilius Ahala"
The censor greeted the newly elected pontifex maximus. The aging Camillus would wipe his head clean from the droplets that fell on his forehead.
"I congratulate you for being chosen our new Pontifex Maximus"
Camillus said, who hoped to forge closer ties with other patrician families in the senate.
"I came here to offer my friendship and cooperation in the senate."
Camillus had something in mind to forge closer ties but he chose to await Servilius' reaction first.

"Thank you," Ahala nodded, "I will do my utmost to ensure the gods are not neglected."
The host gestured a few chairs where the two men could sit a few feet from the pool.
"It sounds as if there is something in particular you will need cooperation with.."

"Hmm. Truthfully, i am looking to get my son married..."
The censor said, as he seated himself on the chair next to Servilius.
"I would love to have him married to one of your noble daughters"
The aging censor said, looking into the pool.
"Of course it would mean you would have my full support in whatever capacity"
All knew that Camillus was one of the most influential men in the world of Roman politics. Many senators had flocked around him.

"You honor my family,"
Servilius laid his arm across his lap in a graceful pose. The sound of droplets tapping into the pool beside them created a calming backdrop.
"A Servilia bearing legitimate children for a Camillus.. I could not hope for a better match."
He looked sideways at his guest.
"My eldest is devoted to Vesta, but my second eldest is in need of a good husband. Of course, this is not a quick decision, and your son must come present himself before me."

"I understand"
Old Camillus said as he looked too sideways.
"Currently, my son is in the service of consul Mugillanus."
He said as he listened to the droplets falling in the pool.
"But i will see to it that he will come and present himself for you once he returns."

"I've heard. My own son is at the command of consul Marcellus."
Servilius smiled, weakly, but kindly.
"Let us hope that Mars sees fit for them to return to us, victorious."
Ahala paused, considered a thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth again.
"While you are here, Camillus, I do have some advice to impart, from one one old father to another, if you will hear it.."
He gestured with a gentle palm.
"It is of course your prerogative."

"Let us hope so indeed."
Camillus smiled warmly as if the two had been best friends in their lifetime.
"Of course you may, i am always open to the counsel of a respected father."
Camillus said, eager to know what is on Servilius' mind.
