Just a ceremony to say you officially accept them into your family. You will be given two scrolls with the proper writings on it, the children shall be placed at your feet, and you shall set one scroll next to each of them. 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. We only call them Aeliana and Quintus because 'the son of Albina' and 'the daughter of Albina' would have quickly become tiresome."

(Brutus is doing a really good job of keeping it in, but about 50% of his mind wants to strangle Halden right now.) "I see, anything else I must do?" He seems to notice the anger in Brutus' facial cues, but accepts this with a weary resignation. He is angry at himself as well. "No." "Sir, I sincerely apologize. 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..." "Good. May I marry your daughter as well? I believe that would be best for the children, your daughter, my sanity, and what little standing I have left with my gods." He laughs bitterly at the last bit, and proceeds to walk with his slight limp out the door, and head in the temple's direction. ? "You already took my honor, my daughter's virginity- even though you were also drunk- and now you ask for marriage. Yes, you may, but only because it is the prescribed tradition!"
