Hi. I have this sneaking suspicion that I missed a lot, seeing as it's now January and I think I was kidnapped. So much for my little get together for the new year.

[There's a few metallic clatters here, one of them is drawn out as a ring spins to a slow stop on her desk.]

I also seem to have way more Renaissance-style jewelry than I remember, and that doesn't bode well. Uh, Lucrezia...?

There seems to be a lack of mass confusion, so I'm guessing it was only a few of us that... what? Got stuck in a--I don't even know what that was, really.

Sooooo. Care to fill me in? Anyone? Please tell me I wasn't turned into an old woman or something and just don't remember that.

[He puts his arms around her.]

I know. It was the castle.

Ezio

[secondchances]

[She slumps against him.]

And I swear those weren't some deep dark desires, either. It was just--not me. Not at all.

Stephanie

[assassino]

Where did it come from, then?

[he runs his fingers through her hair, gently.]

Ezio

[secondchances]

I really don't know.

[That's because it wasn't you at all, Stephanie, but you don't know that! Mindfuck.]

Stephanie

[assassino]

Do not fret. Come, I will cook you dinner and we will do relaxing things.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Alright. [She puts her weight on her own feet and smiles.] But I'm guessing I don't want to ask details, like about other crap I said?

Stephanie

[assassino]

[He laughs -- one of those low, "hell-no" laughs and kisses her on the cheek.]

No. No, you do not.

Ezio

[secondchances]

[She groans and covers her face with her hands. What she said to Kara was bad enough.]

If I said anything personally offensive, I'm really sorry. You know me, I don't say stuff like whatever I said. I don't even think it.

Stephanie

[assassino]

All I can say is never, ever try to give me advice on killing again.

Ezio

[secondchances]

The only "advice" I'll ever give is to not do it.

[She links arms with him. Like hell any cooking is happening at her place, so to his it is.]

Thanks for not taking advantage of whatever that was.

Stephanie

[assassino]

I was tempted to, but it would not have been worth it.

Ezio

[secondchances]

[She doesn't want to think about her reaction if she had come back to her senses and Cesare was dead.]

Thanks for being reasonable, then.

Stephanie

[assassino]

I wish I could promise I will always be reasonable, but we both know that could not be so for so many topics.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Right now, you're reasonable enough.

Stephanie

[assassino]

It will have to suffice.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Yeah, that's generally what I have to think when it comes to you. [Trying to tease and not think about KILLING >:( ]

Stephanie

[assassino]

Most women think I am far more than adequate.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Like we needed more proof I'm not like most women.

Stephanie

[assassino]

And yet the proof shows up every day.

Ezio

[secondchances]

If that's a veiled comment about being crazy or something...

Stephanie

[assassino]

No, no, of course not!

Ezio

[secondchances]

Just checking. Jokes about sanity are off limits for a few days.

Stephanie

[assassino]

Whatever you wish, dolcezza.

Ezio

[secondchances]

I kinda hoped I'd get stories about me being an old lady and grabbing your butt or something, maybe talking about missing my cats and looking for my dentures... maybe next time.

Stephanie

[assassino]

You, grabbing my butt? You do not even do that now.
