How have you been these past few days, dolcezza?



---- Horny Women who need... succor and comfort ;) ----

You have needs... perhaps I can be of service to you.

[Aaaand don't mind that filter stealth-edited to keep certain horned little girls out ARADIA.]

Ezio

[secondchances]

No complaints here. [Someone got to skip having a sore butt from riding horses, thanks to the plot. The plot she doesn't talk about. Fair trade?] How about you? What are you up to at this boring, yet typically beautiful hour?

Stephanie

[assassino]

Whiling my time away by looking for interesting new company. I was hoping to see you today.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Sounds good, I'm not doing anything at the moment. Feel like staying in or going out?

Stephanie

[assassino]

Staying in, I think. I have plans to be out all night.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Wh--[wait. Oh. That didn't take long.]

Guess you should come over here, just in case one of your "plans" finds you early and immense awkwardness ensues.

Stephanie

[assassino]

I have not given any of them my room number, so there is no worry of that.

[It feels a little pathetic that neither Molotov nor Steph questioned why he's sleeping around, but then again, he is the idiot that fucked it up with Cristina. Maybe they have come to expect it... or he's just being paranoid or calling himself on his own bullshit these days.]

And I would give them up for more time with you, of course...

Ezio

[secondchances]

You're so sweet. I guess.

I'll be up in a few minutes, then. See you soon.

[Ezio's place is so much cooler than her own. So fancy.]

Stephanie

[assassino]

You guess?

[But he waits by the door so he can let her in when she comes up.]

Ezio

[secondchances]

[No response to that! Just an energetic knock on his door. Aw yeah, hanging out.]

Stephanie

[assassino]

[He opens it for her with a smile.]

Come in!

Ezio foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[secondchances]

Hey, you. [She smiles back, stepping in.] Have to start off the month with a new Steph supply, huh?

4eva

[assassino]

[He grins.]

Of course! You are only my favourite fellow resident.

[secondchances]

Why are you kissing my butt today? What did you do?

[She laughs, but part of her is serious about that.]

[assassino]

[He closes the door behind her. He would brush it off like nothing, but ah well, there's no point in lying.]

I've just felt a little lonely these past few weeks, that's all... is there a crime in wanting to see more of one's friends?

[secondchances]

Nope. Not at all.

[Poor Ezio. He's had a lot of relationship drama lately.]

Well, you contacted the right friend. I can be pretty awesome company, and I don't mind it at all.

[assassino]

Good!

[He gets her a drink from the fridge... a Coke, because by now he knows better than trying to serve her wine. He gets himself wine, though.]

Cristina has left, if you had not heard.

[secondchances]

[The touched smile at the soda is quickly replaced by a look of shock. No, she hadn't heard.]

Are you serious? Way to go, Paradisa. [She groans. Ezio's "plans" seem a little less like jumping the gun, now.]

I'm really sorry to hear that, though. I wish you could have gotten a chance to at least smooth things out with her.

[assassino]

[He shrugs, handing her the soda.]

Well, I fucked up my fourth chance... or was it fifth? Perhaps it is better for her that she will not have to remember this...

[secondchances]

[She won't debate the chances thing.]

But you will, as long as you're here. You wanna talk about it? I'll listen.

[He was going to ask her to move in... :( ]

[assassino]

[He sits down on the couch, wine glass in hand.]

What's left to talk about?

[secondchances]

[A shrug as she sits next to him.]

Whatever. Thoughts. Feelings.

[assassino]

[He mulls that over for a moment.]

I do not know, dolcezza... Cristina and I would not have been able to be together in my time, so perhaps it is pointless to have feelings.

[secondchances]

Ah, lucky you, able to turn them off like that. That's fine and all, but your "plans" have nothing to do with that, right? Nothing to do with feelings?

[assassino]

[He makes an amused noise.]

My plans are not based on revenge, that is all that really matters.

[secondchances]

I wasn't thinking about revenge, but that's good to know.

[She drinks her Coke. Mmm, delicious carbonation.]
