[ Lucrezia blames this on boredom, or curiosity, whichever you prefer.

She has a small wooden box in hand, another present since he so disliked the previous one, not that this one is intended to appease him, not precisely. She knocks softly twice, checking to see that the hallway is clear. She would not like to be seen. ]

Comments

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia chuckles. ]

While he listens in the next room.

[assassino]

While he bangs on the door.

[heloise]

[ She tips her chin up, and presses her thumbnail against his scar though not hard enough to hurt him. ]

You would do it only to spite him.

[assassino]

[He chuckles.]

That part, yes.

But there is more.

[heloise]

[ She watches his lips. ]

Tell me.

[assassino]

I would have you and Stephanie at the same time.

[heloise]

[ Wait till Stephanie hears this... ]

You would taste her too?

[assassino]

Would you be too jealous, for there to be a third?

[heloise]

I would not be jealous if you please me well.

[assassino]

That was never something you needed to question.

[heloise]

Is it? [ She draws her hand back. ] I question it now.

[assassino]

[He shakes his head.]

Good thing it is only a fantasy and we need never argue.

[heloise]

Shall we call for Stephanie?

[assassino]

Would you have her know that both of us have betrayed her trust with our tryst?

[heloise]

Why does she have to know the past?

[assassino]

[Laugh]

Well, then, by all means, suggest to her that we should be a trinity together. See how she reacts.

[He doesn't think she'll do it. And if she does, he'll dismiss it.]

[heloise]

So you are tempted. It would be pointless otherwise.

[ Because Steph and Lucrezia can just go have their own fun. ]

[assassino]

What makes it pointless?

[heloise]

To fulfill your fantasy without you in it.

[assassino]

[Amused]

I would not expect her to react favourably, Lucrezia.

[heloise]

Doubting your own prowess now?

[assassino]

Of course not. I merely have confidence in the resolve of a girl who has repelled me for over a year, despite being interested.

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia smiles knowingly, reaching a hand now to rest it against his jaw. She would lean in to kiss his cheek if he allows her. ]

[assassino]

[He allows that. It's chaste enough.]

[heloise]

[ She told him never last time, but the way she lingers now says maybe. When Lucrezia pulls back, she also stands to leave. ]
