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. ]

Because as of now I have no reason to agree or disagree.

I wonder what would sway you.

A promise for a promise.

Oh?

I would still like to see Stephanie tolerate Joshua, if not befriend him.

I will do what I can.

She was terribly upset, you know.

That was not what upset her the most.

Was it the letter?

She stole into my room to find that letter. I should be far more upset than she is. [ Which she still thinks she is... ]

If it is the truth, does it really matter how she came to know it?

It matters when she sees need to betray my trust to find it.

She was terribly upset by the whole argument, you know. There were many bitter tears.

How comforting, to know I am not the only one spending my tears.

Is it not fruitless, then, for you both to be so upset, when you could simply count yourselves as equals in suffering and be happy instead?

It is fruitless, too, to try and salvage a friendship built on mistrust.

It was not built on mistrust, Lucrezia. It was only shaken.

Shaken enough to see her parse through my room looking for secrets.

Would you do the same?

It would depend on the dispute. If I feared for someone's life, perhaps I would.

Then you see no wrong in her action.

No one's life is in danger, so I believe it was inappropriate of her.

Then you believe me when I say Joshua would never harm me.

He may not harm you... but who knows what he would do to others? I do not know much about him.

He would harm neither you nor Stephanie if it displeases me. [ Which is, indeed, a thinly-veiled threat. ]

Whether it displeases you or not is what concerns me...

It would displease me terribly.
