"Silence.Then Corax spat and took a half step forward and the engineer braced himself for a fight. They had been building up for this for three days now, ever since he had arrived in Misenum. Not an hour had passed without Corax trying to undermine him in front of the men."
This is a passage from page six of the book where the protagonist, Atillus, and a secondary character, Corax, get into a scuffle. I think this is an important passage because it helps to show the relationship between two main characters and give you an idea of their personalities at the same time. At this point in the book, Attilus, Corax and a few other men are looking for a water source in the midst of a drought to relieve their dry aqueduct.
questions:
1. Will Corax and Attilus ever truly fight?
2.Will their relationship get in the way of work that needs to be done?
3.Is Corax just picking a fight for the fun of it?
