Then you must say, this is very important mind you, 'accipio te in mea', which means 'I accept you as my own'. And then you will give them names.

Because, frankly I was horribly drunk, and out of my mind. However, fate is fickle, and I've decided to make the best of this turn of events. May I do it now?" He repeats an old family mantra about fear in his head, while preparing to either run, or inflict a painful, but not deadly wound...

(He's a skilled swordsmen, Brutus would be torn to ribbons in several places by the end...) "It is supposed to occur in either your own home or a holy place. I'd rather go to a holy place, since then I will have the extra threat of blasphemy if the part of my mind that wants to kill you wins the argument going on in there..."
