xix. dictated, action

Lana
How about an early morning ride?

Micheletto
You will help me with my crates. [ Because packing is tough. ]

Stephanie
Tell me if you mean to visit, even if not to see me. He would not find unexpected guests so pleasant.

What does it mean when the castle gave some no glimpse of old age?

[ Lucrezia is on her knees in the church in town, hands counting through her white rosary and reciting her prayers under her breath. She keeps her hood over her head.

It might seem foolish to believe that saying something over and over again gives it greater weight, or that time and voice can buy penance, but she feels she must at least-- try. She isn't praying for her own soul, she wonders if she would ever. But she loses count of how many times she has said the Ave Maria, and stands to go. ]

You meant only to keep me safe.

Very comforting.

I dislike sarcasm.

I don't like my friends moving in with people that are unsafe, so it looks like we both have to deal with disliking things.

He is not unsafe.

[ She wonders if she has more problem with the word itself and how it makes him sound like an object. Unsafe. ]

I think he is. I'm worried about you.

Have you even met him or spoken with him?

You made me, remember?

Yet you refused the offer.

Why do you think I'm doing this?

Because you do not understand.

I do understand. [That's the thing.]

If you do, you would not punish me for choosing my own way.

Choosing your own way is fine, but the rest of this isn't. Cesare would not be okay with this.

Do not use my brother's name to argue against me.

Why not? Because I'm right?

Because you cannot speak for him and he is here no longer!

You know him best. Tell me what he'd say about this.

It matters little to you.

Why?

[ Because she doesn't want to say Cesare told her not to trust Steph. ]

Because that is a matter between me and my brother.

Nice excuse.

Stop this.

You're the one being--I don't even know, lately.

Say it, Stephanie. How am I being?
