So I have this sorta-headcanon that Aro was able to steal a fair amount of artifacts and scrolls from the Library of Alexandria just in time. That the Volturi really do care about the fruit of human cultures, even if they don't care about the humans themselves. So they try to preserve what they can when a society is collapsing. Loyalmuse and I were talking just now about what they might try to preserve if the internet shuts down someday, and we cowrote this:
Caius: ... and so those two new guards will need to share quarters.
Aro: Oh my god they were roommates
Caius: IT'S BEEN THREE HUNDRED YEARS, CAN YOU STOP
Aro: When you stop quoting Shakespeare and Plato and Socrates, I'll stop quoting vines.
