     “Yeah, yeah.”
     “It’s nice to see Judas so cheerful. Ever since he started seeing Jezebel he—”
     “He’s weak. Impressionable. Men like that flock to strong people.” Caesar eyed Joan. Not bad for a Gaul. When she looked up at the sky her eyes shone appealingly. “Besides, guys like pushy broads.”
