She admitted to having affections for me, but acknowledged that they will not come to pass. I did not kiss her or lead her astray, but I thought you should know in case she goes to you weeping.

[He's just leaving her a message, of course. So he doesn't get his ass kicked.]

[Here's a fairly chipper tone:]

There are conversations about expeditions... I wonder, curiously, why there is so much waiting involved. There is no need to amass supplies nor food when the castle gifts it so readily, no need to search for patrons to fund the expedition, so why do people not simply pack up a horse and depart? Even women and children could travel easily, like this.

People from the future are terribly pampered.

[Meanwhile, you can find Ezio in the garden, picking flowers for his lady.]

Comments

Ezio

[heloise]

Will you take me there?

Lucrezia

[assassino]

What kind of man would I be if I told you of it and then did not show you its wonders?

Ezio

[heloise]

A cruel one, and you are not.

Lucrezia

[assassino]

Let us go, then!

Ezio

[heloise]

[ She laughs. ]

I must dress first. You will wait for me?

Lucrezia

[assassino]

I'm afraid I cannot wait, so you will have to go naked.

Ezio

[heloise]

Have we not decided to forego that kind of sweetness?

Lucrezia

[assassino]

[Laugh]

I think that is lewdness, not sweetness, but I was joking just the same...

Ezio

[heloise]

Are they so different?

[ And she will be dressing as she talks! ]

Lucrezia

[assassino]

I would say so. Some women appreciate one over the other, you know.

Ezio

[heloise]

[ Lalala tying up her sleeves. ]

You mean sweetness, of course.

Lucrezia

[assassino]

[laugh]

There are women who prefer the other, you know...

Ezio

[heloise]

Why would they?

Lucrezia

[assassino]

I don't think you have the, ah... experience to understand, piccina.

Ezio

[heloise]

While you cannot show me the thing itself, surely you can tell me.

Lucrezia

[assassino]

[Chuckle. Dirty dirty dirty...]

I don't know. The Church would tell you that a strong appetite for sex is dangerous and evil... but that is because they want to keep you from its pleasures.

Ezio

[heloise]

Why would the church wish to bar me from any pleasure?

Lucrezia

[assassino]

[Conspiratorially:]

How ever could you focus on their boring Mass when you are flushed in the face, thinking of all the ways a man could please you and serve you in bed, his hands all over your body and his mouth against your fica? How could Heaven sound exciting when you know what an orgasm feels like? How could you stand their boring talking tongues when you could have a tongue elsewhere, bringing you pleasure?

The Church despises losing your attention. They would rather have you serve than see someone else serving you.

[He's going to Hell, he's going to Hell, he's going to Hell.]

Ezio

[heloise]

[ She--just has to stop what she's doing to make sure she isn't hearing voices in her head. Then she bursts out laughing because who pays attention to the sermon anyway? ]

Is that what you do during Mass, Ezio?

Re: Ezio

[assassino]

[he laughs]

The only Mass I have attended in ten years is in Venetian brothels!

Lucrezia

[heloise]

That would be a transcendent experience.

[ Gets back to fastening her dress! ]

Lucrezia (AHAHAH tripped you up there B) )

[assassino]

[Still laughing...]

It is. If you ever come to Venezia, dolcezza, you'll find me on my knees there.

Ezio (I WAS SO SHOCKED D:)

[heloise]

[ She laughs. Now the sleeves, patience please. ]

I have few reasons to go to Venezia, so I must be content with stories, Ezio.

Lucrezia (lurid sex stuff in a tag! aah!)

[assassino]

[Amused]

Would Narcissus tell you stories?

Ezio (BRAIN GOES KAPUT)

[heloise]

My Narcissus cannot read.
