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?

[ Lucrezia giggles, twirling around to flop herself on the bed, ready for story time. ]

Tell me about the ones she finds attractive.

[THE QUESTION IS WHY DID YOU HAVE IT UP FOR SO LONG.]

I think Steph should tell us why. [Sits on the ledge of the bed.]

I still haven't figured out what she found so appealing. [Conner is his best friend, but seriously, he was ridiculous back in his early celebrity days.]

[Cheeks... turning... pink...

She remains standing, crossing her arms over her chest. THIS WAS A HORRIBLE IDEA.]

I think Tim needs to go back to the library now!

[ Lucrezia rests her hands on her lap, not budging anywhere and neither should any of them! ]

Perhaps you can give us each name, Tim, while Stephanie provides her reasons.

The only one I really remember is Superboy. [Leans over and whispers to Lucrezia, although he says it loud enough for Steph to hear.] Guess how I knew who he was.

[Smirks at Steph. Be careful what you wish for!]

[Stephanie taps her foot. Go on, Tim. Really. >:( ]

[ She quirks her head at Steph. ] A relative of Kara's? Is he handsome, my dear Steph?

He saved my life once. [Gives Steph a look. He is not in the business of telling people his BFF is a superhero. ]

One of my other friends also had a poster of him in her room.

Something like that. I thought Super-anything was awesome, and he was closer to my age than Superman, so this conversation is totally done okay.

[She gives Tim a look back. She's gonna kill him.]

But you have not answered my question. [ She turns to Tim, who may be more cooperative. ]

Is he more handsome than Ezio? Than my brother? [ Impossible. ]

[...Of course she would ask about her brother. On the same page as Steph now. The sooner this conversation ends, the better. ]

Uh, that's not really my area of expertise.

[Steph doesn't think that's too weird.]

No, definitely not more handsome than them. My tastes have improved since I was--[The age at which she started dating a certain Robin? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there's no good way to end that sentence, so she just doesn't.]

Oh, this is pretty.

[She digs through some clothes. Smooth.]

Then all is well!

[ Lucrezia laughs, hopping off the bed to place her arms around Steph. An apology, of course embarrassing her. ]

They are yours.

[This time Steph is the one who gets the "really?" look. ] If the two of you want to have some girl talk time, I am good with trying out my clothes elsewhere. [Does not want to discuss the Ezio or her brother's hotness. Passss. ]

[It's easy to get Steph to smile, and Lucrezia hugs will do it. She gathers some of the fabric in her arms.]

Oh, I'm sorry Tim. It's almost as if someone brought up something that led to this topic.

[Smirk :') ]

[ Her brother is hot even by historical standards ok. ]

No, you must stay. There are still more secrets about Stephanie that you must share.

...[CLEVER GIRL.]

Yeah, well...I've got nothing. [Sighs and holds up his hands in mock surrender.]

I don't know if we should push our luck. She also knows our secrets.

[Wise.]

Yup. Tons of secrets.

In that case, Stephanie should share one of mine and another of yours. Any of her choosing.

[Is discovering a theme with Lucrezia.] Okay, I'll bite.

Hmm... [She wouldn't dare share any of the DEEP secrets, so silly ones it is.]

Lucrezia doesn't know how to swim, and Tim would live in the library if he could. Except I guess that's not a secret.

[ That she's sneaky and bossy ~~and her dresses are so big because they're full of secrets~~. ]

I did learn!

And Stephanie would paint the entire castle purple if she could get away with it. Which is also not much of a secret.

I guess I don't have any secrets to share, then! And Lucrezia would like the castle that color.

I would have it red as blood. [ On second thought. ] Or white, the purest white as it is.

And Stephanie can ride, so you must ask her some time.
