Handle with Care

• Kassandra: I'll help, but it's only that little box?
• Alkibiades: One should never judge something by its size, you know. A small thing may very well make a huge impact.

• Kassandra: All right. Who am I giving the package to?
• Alkibiades: There's a man named Bardas near the Korinthian military fort. He's one of their stronger... assets.
• Kassandra: And I just tell him it's from you?
• Alkibiades: No, from Diodoros. Don't forget. Diodoros.

• Kassandra: You said this package isn't from you. Why do you have it, then?
• Alkibiades: It simply came into my hands, that's all. Diodoros asked for my help, like I'm asking for yours now.
• Kassandra: Why can't this Diodoros deliver it himself?
• Alkibiades: You're a curious one, aren't you? Some questions don't have answers. Sometimes things just... are.

• Kassandra: You've traveled a lot—where's your favorite place to go?
• Alkibiades: Oh, a personal question... interesting.
  The world is filled with beautiful places. To pick my favorite would be like picking my favorite hetaera. I could do it, but the answer changes based on my mood.

• Kassandra: Do you know a man named Diodoros?
• Bardas: Diodoros? He'll pay for this with his life! I'll destroy his men. I'll destroy his ship. He'll regret ever touching Thelia!

Kassandra left Bardas enraged at Diodoros.

• Kassandra: A man named Alkibiades gave it to me.
• Bardas: Alkibiades? Just because Perikles took him in and he's friends with important people, he thinks he can do whatever he wants. I won't let him get away with this!

Kassandra left Bardas to his indignation at Alkibiades.

• Kassandra: It's from me, Bardas, can't you tell?
• Bardas: Do you think this is a joke? You'll pay for that!

Bardas attacked Kassandra, leaving her no choice but to kill him.

• Kassandra: Someone doesn't have a sense of humor.

• Kassandra: Bardas threatened to kill Diodoros when I told him. I also wasn't expecting the package to be... well... that.
• Alkibiades: It was a nice surprise, wasn't it? I can make another one for you, too, if you'd like.
• Kassandra: Another one? You—
• Alkibiades: It was mine, yes. It looked good, didn't it? I needed to get Diodoros out of the way, and now he will be. I impress myself sometimes.
• Kassandra: Whatever you say.
• Alkibiades: Why don't we let our bodies do the talking? Surely you had thoughts of it as well when you saw the cast of me...
• Kassandra: Here? Before the gods?
• Alkibiades: Let's make an offering.

• Kassandra: I told Bardas that... it came from you.
• Alkibiades: You did what? I specifically told you to say it was from Diodoros.
  Now I have to come up with another plan. It took me a long time to make that final cast.
• Kassandra: Wait, so it was yours?
• Alkibiades: Yes, that impressive specimen was mine. I really wish you hadn't told him that. You can go now. I need to think.

• Kassandra: I thought I'd make a joke and tell him it was mine, but he didn't laugh.
• Alkibiades: Why would you do that? Bardas is an angry, emotional man. I hoped to get rid of Diodoros, but now you've ruined that.
• Kassandra: If you wanted to get rid of Diodoros, then that package wasn't from him after all.
• Alkibiades: Of course not. It was a perfect plan, but now I have to come up with something else. Don't think I'll ever make a cast for you now.
