In quella parte del libro de la mia memoria,
dinanzi a la quale poco si potrebbe leggere, si
trova una rubrica la quale dice: Incipit vita
nova
.


[ After this odd introduction in Italian, a video shall start. A young woman will be seen, hovering above the device. She is a sweet looking girl, no more than fifteen. There is a brilliant smile on her lips, golden locks that are caught back in a hairnet of pearls. She is all silks and jewelry; a golden cross on her neck. From her gasp of wonder, she is delighted by the thing. ]

Oh! It sheds light! Like a firefly you can carry in your pocket!

[ There is an air of youth to her, giddiness and joy that have somehow morphed themselves into a girl. she seems unsure of whether she has an audience or not but she will lift her head and then incline it gracefully all the same. The next words shall be spoken with passion, as if they are a personal confession. ]

In that book which is
My memory
Before which is little that can be read
There is a rubric, saying: Incipit Vita Nova -

[ A smile. ]

Here begins a new life.

[ She shall bow her head again. ]

Tranquility! What a wonderful name for a ship that sails through the stars. And as it brought sweet company upon me when I arrived, I can only humbly introduce myself to its people in return. I am named Lucrezia Borgia turned Lucrezia Sforza; I come from Rome, to those who are familiar with it.

It is an honor to be in your presence.

[Lisbeth can feel the air of innocence so much that it kind of warms her. To have had it that good at her age.]

What's the year in Rome where you come from?

[Because that is one extravagant geddup.]

[ She had promised to be near always and so it is not long before a familiar smile greets Lucrezia. Alayne bows, as is her habit, though her posture warms quickly. She is happy to see her. ]

You have made quick work of the device, Lucrezia. If only it were as dear as a firefly.

[ A slightly exasperated eyeroll, directed at those first words spoken with such wonder ...it sheds light! Like a firefly you can carry in your pocket!

Despite the fact that it took Ygritte a while herself to learn these devices, she's all out of patience, apparently. ]



Aye, an' it'll wipe your ass for ya, if y' tap in the proper keys.

The name is a little deceptive, actually. It can be really rather exciting around here.

[ she has the look of a Westerosi, dressed all in fine silk and jewelry - but Rome, and the unfamiliar text? Never heard of that. Granted, Brienne is somewhat curious. ]

What language is it that you speak, my lady?

[Wow, this lady talks even nicer than Inara and her dress! So many ribbons. Kaylee is starstruck.]

Where'd you get a dress like that? I just love fripperies, though I don't really have much cause to wear 'em. I got to go to a fancy party, once, in the prettiest dress. Mal bought it for me, it had lotsa ruffles. I love ruffles.

Been living this one long enough to know it's most likely a Space Tragedy. Hope you aren't on the receiving end of the same.

[ there's a long pause before he responds to her, because he actually sits and considers what she's saying. things have been rough on him form the start (deaths, brainwashings, illness, loss of the person closest to him). normally his cynicism wouldn't warrant this kind of introspection but lucrezia is much too positive about her outlook to ignore. ]

The people aren't terrible. Friends from home are around sometimes. But heroic is not my default.

[ but that's enough about him. ]

You're adjusting quickly, if you don't mind my saying.

[ How is it that every word from Lucrezia's lips is truly music? How can it be possible that every sentiment from her seems gilded with delight? Alayne wonders if she is every secretly unhappy, if certain thoughts or ghosts linger in her memory and see that she cries herself to sleep at night. Nothing in this world was without its share of tears, but Alayne hopes that Lucrezia has been spared such a fate — her terrible lord Sforza aside.

Such considerations do not cloud her expression, which remains admiring. Just as Lucrezia had studied to work the device, so will Alayne study Lucrezia and learn how best to be loved.
] All it takes is but the stroke of a few keys and I shall be by your side, Lucrezia. Lest— [ A thought occurs to her now, though Alayne doubts the wiseness of it. ] —lest you wish a bit of company. The ship can grow terribly lonely at night and I am lucky enough to have Lady by my said. If I were to give you Castle to mind you, you may set him to flight and he will summon me to you. [ A sheepish smile. She has never had a friend she would offer her white raven to so readily. ] It lacks the elegance of the device, but it is the Westerosi way.

You mean a firefly I can't wait to take apart.

[Hello, Lucrezia. This is Angela who likes to take technological objects apart and see how they tick. Oh, okay, she wants to hack into it and see who's behind it. Let's be real.]

But you certainly have a way of describing things. I like it.

[ ...Welp. That actually renders her speechless, for...half a minute. And it's not as if this decked-out Southroner lies, after all. Ygritte's pretty proud herself of her crowning glory among the free folk.

Her snark settles to a low simmer. ]


It's considered lucky, 'mongst the Free Folk. Kissed by fire, we call 't. Although Fiery One might work, 's well. Sounds like a story Tormund Giantsbane might like.

[ She tilts her head, eyeing her, curious herself now. ] I go by Ygritte. You're Southron, aren't you?
