---- Stephanie ----

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.]

Comments

[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.]

[assassino]

My plans are more about loneliness than anything.

[He still has no idea how she drinks that stuff.]

[secondchances]

[Lonely assassin. Sadsassin. Steph puts a hand on Ezio's arm and gives it a friendly squeeze.]

I'm sure you won't need to be lonely much longer.

[She can only imagine what his night is going to consist of. ... she's not going to ask.]

[assassino]

[Nod. Weh, Stephanie.]

Tell me... why can I take down an entire conspiracy but fail to manage one relationship?

[secondchances]

I wish I could. Sometimes the stars just don't align properly, you know? Maybe you and Cristina aren't meant to work, but you'll find someone.

[assassino]

Shaun said I do, but it doesn't bring her any closer to me, whoever she is.

[secondchances]

Good things come to those who wait. So be patient, jeez. [She gives a gentle shove.] The rest of us are left hanging. You've at least got a confirmation.

Until then... [Ezios gonna Ezio...]

[assassino]

Until then, I have the fine women of this castle.

[secondchances]

Just don't create any messes.

... you know what I mean.

[assassino]

Si, si, I know. There is no disease here and women cannot fall pregnant, so how bad could it be?

[secondchances]

Did you ever find out who sent that letter?

[assassino]

[Frown.]

No. Cesare seemed innocent.

[secondchances]

Told you so.

My point is, be careful of jealous messes, okay?

[assassino]

I have been so far, haven't I?

[secondchances]

So careful you got a mysterious, anonymous letter. [She raises an eyebrow at that, but that's all she's gonna say about it.]

But do what makes you feel better, I guess.

[assassino]

I was not unfaithful to Cristina, so it was unwarranted. Besides, who would be jealous?

[secondchances]

I don't know who you've slept with. [QUICKLY PUTS UP A HAND.] And I don't want to know. Just food for thought, Ezio. I don't want to see that happen again.

[assassino]

[It is food for thought.]

I do not want it to happen, either, but there are few women I have gotten tangled enough with to cause such an act...

[secondchances]

[Steph shrugs.]

Just keep it in mind on your quest to unlonely yourself.

[assassino]

I will, do not worry.

[secondchances]

[She smiles and sips her soda.]

I'm not worrying.
