I fucked your sister and I'd do it again, you miserable shit-stain.

[Drunk from I've Never? Definitely.]

I've never fucked a princess.

But I'm still young.

[A laugh...]

[assassino]

[He chuckles.]

Well, dolcezza... you need not worry about yourself, nor your mother. You need not worry at all, given that there are other royal women who lack discretion.

[onemistress]

[And she's caught between absolute scandal and well --]

Master Ezio!

[and then she lowered her voice so very conspiratorially.]

You shall never catch one being so indiscreet about it.

[assassino]

[He's having so much fun with this.]

Then who are they being indiscreet with?

[onemistress]

[Shhh, she's drunk too she's just hiding it... badly, whatever. But this is for his own good!]

What makes you think I should know? Because as far as I can see it, if you're been indiscreet, you're probably missing the point of having an affair. So either there are some very clever lords and ladies, or people abstaining utterly from such this.

Which they ought to be, given their station.

[There! Nicely avoided! She sounds smug with her diversion.]

[assassino]

Please. Indiscretion in royal courts is the subject of much gossip on the streets, and I say that as a nobleman by birth who has spent time in all companies.

[onemistress]

[there is a very unladylike burst of laughter.] It is not gossip who a King beds and a Queen meets secretly, don't you know, my lord? To the diplomats, it's democracy! To the courtiers, it's an income, and to the lucky woman involved? She must be the most studious of lawyers, because she must know the proper laws done to cattle, even if they're just to be slaughtered.

I've heard commoners keep us about only so that they have something to tell the children about, they might be starving to death, but at least they're not in a royal's bed!

[and then she laughs and laughs again.]

[assassino]

Ah, I see, I see. Seldom am I fortunate enough to bed such illustrious ladies.

[onemistress]

Pity they are not all as bright as the jewels they wear. [eye roll on her end.]

[assassino]

That is because they have few life experiences, bella. When they have not lived exciting lives, all they can think to do is tempt scandal.

[onemistress]

Is it truly worth it? When they can and do die for such scandals? I mean no offence to your ambitions sir, but would a woman so vapid cannot be worth bedding? Even if she is fair of face, and noble of blood.

[She might only be so harsh because her family. But Ezio at least doesn't know that. Even if it would take him but a few moments to learn. Never mind they're both still drunk and she feels no guilt.]

[assassino]

Would she deem it worth it?
