xii. written

[ Lucrezia writes in curled letters, more like pictures than text, a little poetry or is it a riddle? ]

πόλυ πάκτιδος ἀδυμελεστέρα χρύσω χρυσοτέρα

[ Meanwhile she is at the laundry room, seated on the floor with her light green gown spread about her. She has both hands on one machine, watching the colors spin through the glass with amazement on her face. Yellows, blues, greens and purples! ]

[ trans.; than the lyre, far sweeter in tone than gold, more golden. ]

[She has a feeling she knows who's behind this.]

We come in peace!

[... because she'll totally get an alien joke, Steph.]

[ NOPE. She will just... try to decipher that riddle for a minute. ]

Not quite.

Oooooh, it's Lucrezia. I knew that.

[She did, really! Just messing around.]

You're not talking crap about people, are you?

[ She's trying not to grin too wide! ]

You suspect such things about me.

"Stephanie smells." I know that's it.

Like a rose garden, I am sure.

More like dog and summer breeze [says her deodorant], but I know you knew that.

Dog is not so pleasant.

Not really, no.

So! What is this?

A riddle, Stephanie. Shall I decipher it that you may play the game?

Greek riddles? Uh, sure, I guess I could give it a shot.

Than the lyre, far sweeter in tone than gold, more golden.

[She hates riddles.]

What's the answer?

I might tell you if you would make at least one guess.

Are you sure it's still not in Greek? [Ha ha...]

A song?

Perhaps a special song.

Perhaps, huh? There is an answer to this riddle, right? It's not open to interpretation?

[ She giggles. ]

I am sure Sappho thought of someone when she wrote it, or something.

I've mentioned I wish I paid more attention in school now, right? 'cause I do.

Sappho is a poet; violet-haired, pure and honey-smiling, a lover of women.

And you can read all her riddle-poems? [Lulu, how are you so smart?]

[ That's because she didn't have to take physics at school. ]

Not all. Cesare reads me the more difficult ones.

I'll have to intrude and listen in on this sometime. Get educated and whatnot. Maybe I can catch up to you.
