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.

Ezio

[secondchances]

No, but I can't do it all the time. Then you get used to it.

[She'd laugh about how Lucrezia never does, but... nope.]

Stephanie

[assassino]

That is true.

It would be exhausting.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Oh, yeah. Too much love and affection, my jaw would just fall off and there would just be this gross coating of sugar on the floor. And then you'd slip and fall and end up in the clinic.

Stephanie

[assassino]

What are you doing with your jaw, to give such affection?

[GRIN...]

Ezio

[secondchances]

TALKING. Ezio.

Ihateyou.

Stephanie

[assassino]

[He chuckles, still cooking.]

You left yourself open to that.

Ezio

[secondchances]

And you can never resist. Another for the "don't mention this around Ezio or he'll make a dirty comment" list.

Stephanie

[assassino]

I must make jokes where I can find them.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Do you make jokes when you look in the mirror?

[BIG SMILE, she's so proud of herself.]

Stephanie

[assassino]

No, I simply admire my handsome face. It is particularly handsome these days, with that new razor.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Yeah, I'm surprised the beard hasn't crept back. I'm glad you've seen the light.

Stephanie

[assassino]

Hey, if it is not popular with the ladies, I will refrain.

Ezio

[secondchances]

How generous.

Stephanie

[assassino]

I think it is! It is a sacrifice on my part, when I could have a great beard.

Ezio

[secondchances]

For your birthday I'll support all your beard-growing fantasies.

Stephanie

[assassino]

But that is still over five months away!

Ezio

[secondchances]

That's right. Maybe you'll forget by then.

Stephanie

[assassino]

No, I will not forget.

Ezio

[secondchances]

Fine. Then we'll at least have about half a year of you looking like this. Then you can get all hairy.

Stephanie

[assassino]

You say that as if we are counting down to the end.

Ezio

[secondchances]

We are, Ezio. We are.

Stephanie

[assassino]

You dread it that much?

Ezio

[secondchances]

[Sad face :( and a sad nod.

Overreacting? Just a bit.]

Stephanie

[assassino]

[He pulls himself away from cooking to come over and stroke her hair.]

Poor bambina.

Ezio

[secondchances]

[Smile...]

Your hands better not be greasy.

[She doesn't want meatball hair, eww.]
