Hmm, interesting, I never thought of Heiro's favor to Gen as bringing the quinalums...only, when would Gen have had time to ask her? I just assumed that Gen told her she was a good friend because she, being somewhat timid by nature, was bold enough to come visit him, and be pleasant company, as opposed to all those boring politician types that wanted to visit him for their own motives.
The "know something that you don't," I had always thought it was the fact that Sejanus and Dite were really close. Everyone thought the brothers hated each other, but it was the contrast, between Sejanus's true concern for his brother versus what the court thought, that Gen as able to play upon and make the whole strategy work. Just my theory.
