Ceri disagreed with the rating and said:

They do talk to each other! Empress nympho talks to Competence. Of course it IS when talking about men. And about choosing escorts for the midnight orgy O.o

F.Toth disagreed with the rating and said:

Empress Nympho talks to Competence. It is about her escorts for the orgy, so it is about men.

Miriam begs Nympho to save the life of Josephus. This is a real, if short conversation.

So certainly it passes two out of three.

Frieda disagreed with the rating and said:

Ceri is right; they do talk! Empress Nympho and Competence discuss her choices for the orgy. Also Miriam and Nympho discuss saving the life of Josephus, first by getting him a job and then hiding him from the soldiers. So Nympho talks to two named women.
