My dear, you also came here to ask about the book she's reading... the one about Messalina. Yes... Valeria Messalina, Roman empress, known for her reputation as ruthless, predatory, and sexually insatiable -- so much so that she is said to have worked in a brothel under the name of the She-Wolf. She was married to Claudius... who, due to the excessive weight on his head (and her sexual excesses), gave Messalina two options: kill herself or be killed... I won't give any spoilers! lol Peder Severin painted a portrait of her... she's not hot, but... she's a bit of a shadow, and nothing a little alcohol can't fix. lol Ahhh yes, Circe hasn't read it! She has a fetish for photos with books, which she won't read! lol She gets super excited... lol
