I'm a Little Bit Phoenician, She's a Little Bit Parthian

That's right, folks, it's the classic tale of boy meets girl, but with a twist--I'm a little bit Phoenician, but she's a little bit Parthian.

We never seem to see eye-to-eye on anything. For example, she wants to conduct equestrian raids on agricultural settlements, but I want to engage in trade using my inborn knowledge of seamanship and ocean routes. And sometimes I feel like tallying my transported wares with an early form of writing, while she illiterately yearns for plunder amid the thunder of hooves and the thrill of riding bareback across central Asian steppes.

But there's one thing we CAN agree on, and that's that we're both CRAZY for each other. I may be a little bit Phoenician, and she might be a little bit Parthian, but we're 100% in love, and that's all that matters.
