xviii λ curls

[assassino]

[Ezio is currently in Stephanie's bathroom, sitting in a chair with both a magazine and his journal on his lap, feet kicked up on the vanity. Because he can. And because Stephanie is about to start fussing with his hair, because both are bored and have somehow come to the conclusion that this is a great way to spend time.

To her:]

You can do whatever you'd like to it, just don't cut it or make it strange colours.

[What is his life.]

Comments

[assassino]

If only you could have been in it since birth.

[heloise]

We can pretend she has been.

[secondchances]

Honorary Italian. I can go with that.

[assassino]

But what to do about her family name? I think a family name would be Bruno, but for the sole woman, Bruna, perhaps?

[heloise]

Or Stefania Marrone!

[secondchances]

Oh, that one's fancy. I like it.

[assassino]

I like it as well.

[heloise]

It is settled then. We have christened you as our Stefania.

[secondchances]

Now if I ever get stuck in Italy, I'll have a convincing name at the very least.

[assassino]

Perhaps your work will send you in that direction.

[heloise]

I shall ensure the grandest reception for you in Rome.

[secondchances]

[EZIO. Steph stares at him. Someone fails at keeping shit subtle. >:( ]

I'd better get a tour of all the places you guys talk about.

[assassino]

[SMILE...]

I need this tour, as well.

[heloise]

Of the Vatican, then?

[secondchances]

[Why, so you can know the floorplan so you can easily kill the freakin' Pope? Steph almost opens her mouth to ask that, but just smiles instead.]

That would be neat. I've only seen pictures.

[assassino]

I have not even seen pictures.

[He flops back again.]

[heloise]

Perhaps Stephanie can tell us how our cities stand in five hundred years.

[secondchances]

Stephanie can't tell you much, unfortunately. As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm not especially versed in European history--past or present. You guys make me wish I paid more attention to stuff at home.

[assassino]

Ah, neglecting your studies has proven unwise, mia cara.

I have been told my family's home is still standing, though.

[heloise]

I wish the same could be said of our villa.

[secondchances]

Maybe the castle will send us to Italy one day.

[assassino]

I hope so.
