[mansuetus]

Dante had said, remember tonight! for it is the beginning of always.

What shall we be doing tonight, Tranquility?

[ it is late but not too late and Lucrezia is keen on avoiding nightmares and so sleep is not a Thing. ]

I shall be spending my own in the garden. I never before slept upon grass.

[chambermaid]

I often stay in the gardens. [ And sleep there. They feel more like Camelot than any other place on the ship, it feels more... normal.]

[mansuetus]

Dear Gwen, sweet as her name.

[ she smiles, places her chin on top of both of her palms, a picture of poise and sweetness, not of a girl scared of nightmares. but lucrezia was always good with hiding her weaknesses. ]

will you join me?

video

[elvenking]

When you come, look for me. I sleep nowhere but the garden.

[not always lying on grass and not always lying down at all but hey.]

video

[mansuetus]

Shall we make it a game, Your Majesty? I will be entering the gardens soon, do not tell me where you are and we shall see how long it will take me to find you.

You must not call for me nor give hints!

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

You'll bring what you need, correct? A blanket and a pillow and all that. The grass is not all that soft.

[voice]

[mansuetus]

Are you worrying for my comfort my dear signore Edgeworth?

[ all the teasing in her voice; truly, you are a big sweetheart, are you not? ]

Video

[servant]

Once I would've said that you weren't missing anything. Now I think the grass is the best place to be.

It's funny how the ship can change how you look at things.

Video

[mansuetus]

Do you miss the ground, Merlin? I find that I do. I miss the warm ground of Rome. Did you know at Summer I could never walk barefoot at the Vatican gardens? The stones were hot enough to burn my feet.

[assumedposition]

With an opening like that from a beautiful woman such as yourself, madame, I imagine you must have quite the roaring garden party going on there by now!

video

[mansuetus]

Not roaring but I have met many who I favor. And when will I meet you, signore Albert?

[certainproclivity]

Why would you want to? [He's legitimately curious here, Lulu.]

[mansuetus]

Why not, signore? If only to try something new!

[virginish]

[She wrinkles her nose just slightly, more thoughtfully than anything else.]

I didn't even know there was a garden here. I'm guessing if you want to hang out there, it's relatively nice?

video;

[mansuetus]

Wonderfully nice! It has several floors and many flowers and fruit and you may walk for hours there without reaching its end. Have you truly never visited the garden? You must come and see it.

(voice.)

[carbonite]

Lucy, what is it with you and really weird questions?

(voice.)

[mansuetus]

Captain! Will you answer it still? Where will I find you tonight if I'll search? Your room? Walking about?

[ video ]

[tailcrook]

I think I'd like this Dante... but Lucrezia, the grass?

[ video ]

[mansuetus]

The grass! moist and fresh and wonderful. Will you join me? I will pretend to be lying on the grass of the Vatican and the sky above me would lack any clouds and would be the brightest shade of blue.

private;

[northerner]

Do you wish company, if you make your bed there?

private;

[mansuetus]

Yes.

[ and she leans her elbows on the grass, her chin on the top of her hands. ]

but this is an ungodly hour, Robb Stark! Are you not supposed to be sleeping? They say only the very wicked are awake at such hours.

[ and she smiles because what does that mean about her? ]

video; SO LATE

[handelaar]

[It might be late, but he works late. The background is green and his expression is puzzled.]

Bored, or what.

video; HUSH

[mansuetus]

Yes.

[ she admits it without shame. there are so many hours to fill on the Tranquility at day. not being able to sleep makes it all the worse. ]

Then come and chase it away!

wow this is so late sorry

[ex_inventive578]

Ah, onorate l'altissimo poeta. Fine fellow, Dante. Passionate about love, very passionate. Shame about the exile.

hush I am already excited about this cr

[mansuetus]

Isn't it? I always wished to visit his tomb in Florence; but the opportunity never arose.

[vivelavenir]

You are a reader of Dante, Mademoiselle?

[Colour him absolutely delighted! He is a top favourite author of Jehan's.]

I have one of his books with me on board. His poetry is best taken in in the blush of a spring garden; you have figured out the very secrets of life.

[mansuetus]

A passionate reader of Dante! L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.

[ and she is delighted in return, a smile blooming on her lips as she leans forward in interest. ]

Which book of his do you have signore?
