"The casualties he took weren't low. A week and a half is expected." Julius chuckled, "Any news on Cassius. Did he fall in the last battle or..."
"He was spotted alongside Magnus during their march. He must have hidden within one of the houses in the city during its final moments." Octavius smiled at the sight he envisioned of Cassius cowering in the corner. "I can't even say he's a coward for hiding. It was over a meaningless death. I just don't know if I could have made the same choice, even if it was the right one."
