ARYA

So! You, me, and some waffles. Let's do this.

LUCREZIA

I need your help with something. You're the only person I trust enough to help me with this very special, maybe once in a lifetime thing.

Do you accept?

Comments

Stephanie

[heloise]

[ She's hesitant. It isn't advisable to accept requests without knowing what they are. ]

If it is in my power. Yes.

Lucrezia

[secondchances]

I need you to help me dress up Tim in clothing from your time. [And also show him how freakin' cute you are in the process.]

Stephanie

[heloise]

[ Laughing, only because ladies don't snort-laugh or she would have. ]

Is he agreed to this?

Lucrezia

[secondchances]

Not yet. But how can he say no to the both of us?

[Stephanie? Maybe. But Lucrezia? Good luck, Tim.]

Stephanie

[heloise]

And here I meant to win his favor.

Lucrezia

[secondchances]

Don't worry, you will. He might complain, but I'm sure he'll dig dressing up in historical clothing.

Stephanie

[heloise]

If you say so.

Shall I invite him to my room or to yours?

Lucrezia

[secondchances]

Your room, if you don't mind. Fits the theme. [So Tim can feel like he's really in the Renaissance :') ]

Stephanie

[heloise]

Ah, then I shall do so now.

Action.

[dorkwonder]

[Meanwhile, at the library Tim is lost in a sea of books. He's had way too much free time lately. Which would make most people delighted, except for Tim it means thinking about things he doesn't want to think about. Attempts to distract himself by undertaking several research projects all at once.]

[secondchances]

[Stephanie leads Lucrezia into the library by the hand. It's easier just to hunt him down and give him no chance to escape. He wasn't in his room, so the library was Steph's next guess.]

Ha! Told you. There he is.

[She nudges Lucrezia forward.]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia trots happily behind her, Steph could drag her anywhere and she would pretty much be okay with it.

The sight of Tim surrounded by books makes her laugh though. Men and all their insistence on being so serious all the time. She tries to pull away whatever book is in his hand, giggling as she does. ]

We have an invitation for you.

[dorkwonder]

[Blinks. One second there's a book in his hand, the next second it's in the air. Raises a brow at her.]

Yeah? [Reaches for the book. HE'S GOING TO LOSE HIS PLACE.]

[secondchances]

[Tim... you're so sad. Steph just grins and takes the book from Lucrezia.]

[heloise]

[ She's considerate enough to mark it with her thumb! Until Stephanie takes it from her, that is. She giggles some more and turns to go, motioning for him to follow, because there's no such thing as saying no to Lucrezia Borgia. ]

This way.

[dorkwonder]

I'm in the middle of researching something. [Staaarreess at Steph. You better not be planning on playing a game of keep away.]

[secondchances]

So it's the perfect time for a break. C'mon. [The book is now hers!]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia hardly slows down for them, though she does turn around to see Steph trying to get him off his butt. Hurry up or you'll lose her! ]

[dorkwonder]

Steph, you can't be serious. [Holds out his hand expectantly.]

[secondchances]

Absolutely serious. You don't even know what's going on. [She keeps the book away.]

[heloise]

[ Tim is a slowpoke! Lucrezia waits by the library's exit, watching those two. ]

[dorkwonder]

Then why don't you tell me instead of playing keep away? [Tries to step around her to grab the book.]

[secondchances]

That ruins the surprise! [She hops back, towards the exit.]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia grins, reaching out a hand for Steph to take. ]

[dorkwonder]

Fine, if I do whatever this is for a few minutes, will you let me return to my research? [Siiiigh.]
