(Beyond Raetia et Noricum)
Glaceon: Looks like we've gone very far. Immunes Musicus, get all of my party stop and encamp.
Immunes Musicus: Sic.
(A trumpet blowed by Immunes Musicus and everyone rested. Minutes after, in the HQ camp)
Glaceon: So, my point is, that the Avars be in here, beside the mountains.
Quilava: But domine, we knew from Quintus Suetonius that the Avars aren't here. They reside on lands beside the Gepids.
Glaceon: Sure. But don't you read the full citation? "Ultimae ibi visae sunt" Or you're drinking posca too much?
Quilava: ............Ignosce mihi, domine.
Glaceon: Before migrating here, they live in a place similar to Raetia et Noricum. Mountainous and cold. And they aren't gonna love to be raided by Gepids. Now rest and never object my command, Fabius. Understood?
Fabius the Quilava: Understood domine Marcus Aquilinus Varro.
Eevee: Domine! An unknown tribe delegation has come to our camp!
Marcus the Glaceon: Mmhm. Was he armed?
Eevee: Yes! But he didn't show any sign of aggresion!
Marcus: I'll be going now. Meeting dismissed for you both.
Fabius: Sic.
Eevee: *nods with power*
(Marcus walks out and meet the delegation)
Marcus: Greetings, delegation from unknown tribe. May I know your purpose here?
Espeon: .................
Marcus: Maybe he didn't know english. Translators, try to translate my speech to Suebian.
?: Sic.
(The translator translate Marcus's speech into Suebian)
Espeon: ...........En ymmärrä mitä tarkoitat. Ole hyvä ja esittele itsesi.
Marcus: .....He ain't Suebian?
???: Domine! He is an Avar!
Marcus: Hm? Really?
???: Yes! I can understand that he wants to know who we are.
Marcus: Oh, yeah. You are my Avarian translator right? Go on, tell him everything about us first.
(The Avarian translator tell the Avar delegation about Marcus's Expedition party)
Espeon: ..........Voinko luottaa sinuun?
???: Kyllä, haluaisimme käydä kauppaa kanssasi.
Espeon: Toivottavasti voin luottaa sinuun. Tule seuraavana päivänä kylään keskustelemaan siitä.
???: Domine, he'd like us to come to his village next day to consolidate our offer.
Marcus: Alright? You can dismiss him then.
???: Affirmative.
(Minutes after, Marcus, Fabius, and his Avarian translator were inside Marcus's tent)
Marcus: Can we trust them?
???: Of course domine. Avars aren't hostile towards anybody without reason.
Marcus: Alright. We can go to their village tomorrow. What do you think, Fabius?
Fabius: I see no problem in it. Or I guess there is one thing that I worried.
Marcus: What was it?
Fabius: You need bodyguards. And I think the bodyguards shouldn't have intimidating look.
Marcus: I have an idea for that. All soldiers whose being my bodyguard for the next day should use lorica hamata. Close the armor with a tunic so we wouldn't look aggressive.
Fabius: I see, that was a great plan.
Marcus: Let's rest for now. All dismissed.
(Everyone resting while Marcus preparing anything needed, study and research about the Avars deeper)
----------------------------------------------------
(One night later)
Marcus: Keep some soldiers and crew here. I just need everything really necessary to go. The village wasn't that far anyway. You join me Fabius?
Fabius: Of course, domine.
Marcus: Alright, march on.
(They get through hours of march. At last, they are arrived to the Avar village where everybody there looking at them carefully)
Marcus: ......Get everyone here calm, my translator.
???: Sic.
(The translator calm them down and ask about where their chief is or the one who came to Marcus's camp last night. A Charmander approach them and tell them to follow him)
???: He asked us to follow him, domine.
Marcus: I guess we don't have any choice anyways. Let's follow him.
(Marcus's party follow the Charmander to a special looking house)
Charmander: Hän on sisällä.
???: The Espeon is inside, domine.
Marcus: *knocks the door*
?: Odota hetki.
(The Espeon opens the door)
Marcus: Salve.
Espeon: Terveisiä. Käy peremmälle.
Marcus: ?
???: He tells us to come in.
Marcus: Alright.
(Marcus, Fabius, and the Avarian translator comes in and sit down on a chair with huge table infront of them)
Espeon: Mennään asiaan. Tai haluat puhua vähän pidempään, Roomalaiset?
???: I'll translate-
Espeon: Let's get to the point. Or you'd like to chit-chat first with me? If we knew each other, all will be better. Isn't it Romans?
Marcus: ..........
