And the story with Servillia could not burst anyone’s self-confidence.

Not only that but there was the whole thing with her mother killing her first husband, and pushing her to bed with Pompey. I can understand why experiences like that would damage her sense of self. I feel a pre-season one, unmarried Octavia would have fallen for Agrippa in an instance - but now she is so scarred and scared that she doesn't dare try.

And Octavia is one of my favourite female characters too. She wasn't instantly likeable for me, but now I'm liking her more and more for each episode.

But what can raise your self-worth as a passionate love on a young man?

Hee! Exactly! And one who also rescues you from an orgy - and doesn't really want to take the credit for it. (he does after all try to sneak away so that it will look like she got home by herself)

OMPH! I like him!! I like him!!

Hee! I know! *hugs Agrippa*

- and historically he was actually of a lower class than her. I don't know if that will come into play, but it might.For some reason I feel that kind of adds to the romance.

I can only stand so much of heart-break. :P

I know, but sadly I expect more heartbreak to come. Unless Vorenus's children stop hating him there is a tragedy waiting to happen right there. *whimper* I'm worried. :(
