[u][b]Lucius, Caesar of The Legion/ Vulpes Inculta[/b][/u]

Lucius and Vulpes both watched as new arrivals continued to enter the restaurant. Strange men from the east came first, religious figures it seemed, and from the looks they were giving one another, not cordial ones. Lucius was particularly perturbed by the young girl that appeared to be giving orders to those around her, as if she had some sort of unnatural power of them. Young leaders was nothing new to Lucius, he'd seen a tribe in Colorado which had worshiped a young boy as a deity, but there was something...off about this young lady, and the entire group in general. Could this be the representatives of the cult that Barnaky's order had been fighting so fiercely against? 

His suspicions were confirmed once the representatives of The Midwest arrived, and Lucius observed Brother Martin giving a brief, but visible, flash of disgust across his face when he saw the cultists. He would have to have a word with Brother Martin about these people and about the young girl. For the moment however, he simply returned Martin's respectful nod. A signal that they both understood. 

More groups continued to enter, one from the north, and then a strange group covered in cloaks and rags that Lucius and Vulpes immediately recognized. When one of their number revealed himself to be Joshua Graham, the members of Lucius's Praetorian guard were immediately set on edge,

[i]"Qui succendit..."[/i] one of them said, "The fire..."

Lucius turned and calmed them,

"At ease Praetorians," He ordered, "Joshua and I have come to an....understanding." Caesar then looked towards Joshua and gave him a nod, "Its good to see you again Joshua. My wife sends her good will, and wishes you to know that her people....your people....flourish in Zion."

Vulpes did not say a word, but gave a nod of his own. His frumentarii had been training with the 'Burned Man' now for some time. It had not been easy to accept the man that Edward Sallow had tried to erase from history. But Vulpes had a new Caesar now. Vulpes instead turned his attention to the next group to arrive, a man who announced himself as the Vice-President of The United States. Vulpes turned a smile when the man put the NCR President in his place after the foolish President had made some outlandish boast that he could never hope to back up. Many in the Legion knew of the 'Enclave' for one reason only: they'd arrived with a fury at Hoover Dam, and slaughtered many NCR profligates even while The Legion was being pushed back. The NCR blood they'd spilled that day had earned them The Legion's begrudging approval at least. 

"Hmm. I like this man already," Vulpes whispered with slight chuckle to one of the nearby Praetorians, "Anyone who speaks like that to the NCR President...well, they'll be someone to speak to."
