This strip is not *just* getting character from point A to point B. It's offering us character information.
As is this exchange: I wish to retire to my rooms. Of course you do. [but you're not going to weasel out of what *I* want you to do instead. Heh, heh.]
Hmmm. I need to work on distinguishing Sabinus from Titus. They are cousins who should look a lot alike, but they're at least a decade apart in age, for one thing. Hmm.
I suppose the comic has always been more about character moments than running around shouting and stabbing things. Except for Sabinus, who likes to shout and would like to stab a couple of people in particular.
I see what you mean! That's Sabinus telling Domitian, "Of course you want to go hide in your room, but I bet you won't get to, nanny nanny boo boo!" I should've picked that up from the dialogue, so that's my bad for reading too fast.
