She had so many questions she longed to ask of Augustus, but she couldn't formulate them into coherent strings of words when she was conscious. And, unfortunately, she was never able to stay awake very long. Mere hours could have passed or weeks. Her concept of time was sadly lacking. She desired to get better, to be able to satisfy her curiosity. Augustus wouldn't lie to her. Of that, she was entirely certain. He might not like telling her what he knew. He might even get angry with her for asking impertinent questions she didn't need to understand. In the end, however, he would share everything he knew.
