I'm sure that there s a perfectly good reason, but it's just really funny to me that Pompeyo has beef with a teenager (Marcus). What a way to NOT copy Sulla
lmaoo yeah
honestly, itβs very one sided: Pompeyo is trying so hard to get along with Marcus and itβs just not clicking because Marcus distrusts him for being a (former) political ally of Felix.
like, from Marcus' point of view, Pompeyo let Felix fuck Crasso over for his own gain, and fully expects Pompeyo to behave exactly like Felix once Pompeyo fully realigns himself with Crasso. Marcus really only acts civil to Pompeyo because of Publius (who. god. he needs a new name so bad. Paolo? Paris? I might give up trying to pick a name that begins with P and just name him Celestino or something, tbh), and even then. the civility is debatable.
later tho! it takes two events that happen several years apart from each other, but they do come to an Understanding. Pompeyo is actually totally unaware of the moment that Marcus decides that Pompeyo is part of the family.
Marcus still gives Pompeyo a lot of shit, but it's no longer actively hostile. just regular, garden variety fucking around (affectionate) and making Pompeyo's life a little bit difficult on purpose because it's kind of funny.
#Iβm thinking of changing Marcusβ name to Mark to give him another degree of separation between him and his historical namesake#Iβll have to do some sample dialogue scenes to see how it goes#ask tag#anyway. i actually miss so much people stopping by at 11 and pulling out the coffee mugs and the instant coffee and sitting around#uh. wait. this might need a cw#what's. the cw for famine related hunger#cw starvation //#cw child death //#bad governance the series#WAHOO anyway it's all rough drafts so you get to see all of my blocking notes. subject to change the next time i do edits etc#like already ive decided that the weight of marcus changing his opinion on pompeyo has another part to it i just didn't have it#sketched out. so for now. this is the general very barebones idea of the scene
