x. dictated, action

[heloise]

I had not dared to wish for a sister or a daughter. Yet look, I had both, and the sweetest husband any woman could hope for.

Only the Castle does me a disservice by removing my better half!

[ Lucrezia dictates from the orchard, leaning against an old tree. She closes her journal before going back to, slowly and rather messily, sewing colored glass onto a piece of lace while muttering a song to herself: ]

♪ La bella lavanderina che lava i fazzoletti per i poveretti della città! ♪

[ ooc; so open, journal or action! also, translation and music!

Action;

[persequor]

What is that song? [ A girl and a larger than normal wolf peer at Lucrezia. ]

Action;

[heloise]

[ HOLY SH-- she nearly drops her work. She is loath to take her eyes off of the wolf, in case, but she thinks the little girl asked her something. ]

Oh-- it's a children's rhyme.

Action;

[persequor]

[ So accustomed to the reaction, Arya chooses not to comment to it. Besides, fear of Nymeria might help keep potential enemies at bay. ]

What language is it?

Action forever!

[heloise]

[ She tries to tear her eyes from the wolf enough to offer the girl the briefest smile, at least, setting her lace aside. ]

Italian. It also goes with a dance.

[persequor]

Is that where you're from?

[assassino]

[He's sneaking up behind her, only making his presence known when he joins in, haha.]

Fai un salto, fanne un altro...

[heloise]

[ He may be the better singer. She laughs before picking up where he left off, gesturing for him to twirl. ]

Fai la giravolta, falla un'altra volta!

[assassino]

[Haha he's not bad, but not good, either. He turns on the spot and then sits down next to her.]

Guarda in su, guarda in giù...

[heloise]

Dai un bacio a chi vuoi tu.

[ She knows he knows, but plays along to peck him on the cheek! ]

[prettyknives]

..That song's dumb.

[heloise]

You know what it says?

[prettyknives]

I remember from that other life.

[heloise]

You must remember the lullaby too then.

[secondchances]

It's totally your fault all that happened, by the way.

[heloise]

My prayers do tend to be potent.

[secondchances]

Pope's daughter gotta have some perks.

[heloise]

[ She chuckles. ] I may have accidentally prayed for the loveliest man to accompany you as well.

[samson]

[LUCREZIA NO........ you're just a baby, you shouldn't be thinking about husbands and kids ....even though you're married where you're from...........]

I don't think I saw you during that... thing. Who were you stuck with?

[heloise]

[ Her daughter was technically only one year younger BUT WHO CARES. ]

I was fortunately matched with Connor, one of the MacManuses, and Clove. I was also sister to Stephanie Brown!

[samson]

[that awkward moment Brock doesn't know as many people as he thinks he knows.]

Good people? I think I met Clove, like, once.

[heloise]

Very good.

And what about your family, Brock?

[shepherdsveritas]

[he chuckles]

Aren't many out there'd call me sweet. Y'sing beautifully.

[heloise]

There. You are being sweet yet again!

[shepherdsveritas]

Only to those deserve it.

[heloise]

Are there so few of them?
