☩ ００５． ＶＩＤＥＯ

[mansuetus]

Tranquility.

[ Lucrezia Borgia's hair is braided and her silks are pink as her cheeks. ]

The fireflies had returned to us. To them and to those who had been asleep, Ben Tornati! as you all have been so direly missed. I would hear that you are well from your lips or through the firefly.

To all others, I offer a trade.

I would hear of your name. I heard so many names since my arrival here and yet I never asked for their meaning in your respective languages. I would listen and tell you of my own, if you care to hear it.

[ but then she seems a bit bothered by something, as if she had realized something is missing. ]

I have no words of poetry to offer today, what a shame.

[ give her a moment before she'll smile and, lifting her chin with mischief in her eyes, speak the next words in Latin before shutting down her firefly. ]

quae bello est habilis, Veneri quoque convenit aetas.

( The age which is apt for war, is also suitable for Love. )

[Ah- that was an accident]

I have no great flattering tongue.

[mansuetus]

You flattered me.

[ and evidently that pleases her. ]

You have been missed, Jon Snow.

[wolfinthesnow]

Thank you, Lady.

[mansuetus]

You know I refuse to answer to that.

[ she's trying to be super serious and not to laugh. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

Well when you act like one, I'll call you one.

[mansuetus]

Shall I be awfully unladylike, Jon Snow?

[wolfinthesnow]

No, please.

[mansuetus]

Then Lucrezia it shall be.
