Actions speak louder than words - those are the words Sean's father drilled into his head from a young age, and New Rome had done nothing but solidify the purpose of that phrase. Sean believed in these words so much, he was willing to do anything to prove their truth.
Anything, including jeopardizing his man-card privileges.
Back at the 4th's barracks, the son of Ceres had made a bet with one of his mates that he could sink a basket into the wastebasket without hitting the rim. And when he tossed the crippled up piece of loose leaf paper, nothing but floorboards was the sound Sean head ringing through his ears. The punishment - he was going to have to initiate a fight wearing the ever so eloquently named "p**** shirt" - a black Twilight - Breaking Dawn tee that someone had brought back from a quest a few years back. It was one of those ones with the picture of Bella and the wolf guy on it (Sean wasn't into Twilight, mainly due to the kinds of chromosomes he was born with) hugging or something. It was all very, very girly.
But being a man of his word, Sean threw the t-shirt on and headed out with his hasta to the Field of Mars, considering stoping along the way for a Frapachino or Pumpkin Spice Latte to go along with the shirt. He ultimately showed up to the Field lacking a PSL, but that wasn't enough to spare him from the laughter of his fellow Romans. "Al'right y'all, very funny." He said, the Canadian accent very clear in his voice. "Laugh all y'all want, but that don't mean nothing if I can kick one of y'all's a**ess, ya know."
