Naevia and Crixus in “Unfinished Business”

Wait.

Crixus

Domina will grow impatient. You know the urgency of her desires.

She did not summon you.

Crixus

Then why am I here?

The necklace? You purchased it for me?

Crixus

As I've said.

Then why does it grace the neck of Domina?

Crixus

The mind of a woman, you deflect a gesture only to question where it lands. Your words were I cannot accept it.

Yes, my words, cut off before completion.

Crixus

Then complete.

That it is impossible for me to keep it, regardless of desire. There is nothing in my possession that was not given to me by Domina. Are you so thick that this fact was ignored? Did you think she would not notice?

Crixus

[apologetically] I misunderstood your meaning in returning it.

Of course you misunderstood. You have no mind outside the arena, you think only with your sword and your shield, you stupid lumbering...[she is cut off as Crixus kisses her, but after briefly kissing him back she abruptly ends it] You are a fool... Guard!
