☩ ０１２．ＴＥＸＴ

Audentes fortuna iuvat.

Does fortune favors us, Tranquility?

Caesar himself was quite devoted to boldness and fortune; alea jacta est he said and the goddess of fortune favored him for many years.

in the end, she did not. it is a tricky thing, fortune and quite a riddle to guess.

[ that aside ]

An assistance is needed! For baking a cake to a friend whom I favor greatly and who, I decided, celebrates his birthday today.

awful at baking, so I won't be much help there
but if you're posting to to the network doesn't it ruin the surprise?

he has yet to find out so perhaps it did not. that aside, perhaps he should know that is is his birthday.

know about his birthday sure
but I always thought cakes were better as surprises
you know you're gonna get one but you don't really know
though if you're celebrating for him that would be up to you

can you truly know and not know something at once signore?

of course you can!
you can know something is going to happen but don't know when
or how or why and it makes that all the more exciting

then you can know your birthday is approaching but still not be sure when others would mention it or what will they get, yes?

exactly
because not knowing when your own birthday is is something of a shame
but knowing but also not knowing makes it exciting

a terrible shame but can one truly know their birthday here? there is no sense of time or days here. I am uncertain if we are at the prime of spring or the dead of winter.

all the more reason to decide it for yourself
pick a day - today even - and start counting 365 days

I already had my birthday weeks ago by my own choice. I suppose I could have a second one.

[ Lucrezia Borgia is a brat. news at 11 ]

is that what you will do signore?

second birthdays
you know
I think I like the sound of that
maybe I'll have a second and third birthday of my own

and when shall we celebrate all these birthdays for you, signore?

when we find the dates of everyone elses.
wouldn't want to take some of the glamour away from their big day

that might take forever! Decide on one at the very least.

[ but she's smiling, unseen; he thinks of others, how sweet. ]

I can be a very patient man when I want to be

[ which is only half a lie ]

but if you must know
I can pick twenty seven days from now!

twenty seven days then!

and what is the name of the one whose birthday we shall celebrate?

[ since she won't forget. nope. ]

james potter, my lady
and twenty seven days it is :)

james potter!

and I am lucrezia borgia.

dear lucrezia,

dont trust this one

love,
S. BLACK

(take my word for it & save yourself the trouble because he is NOTHING but trouble of the worst worst worst sort)

Dear S. Black,

does that mean you are terribly fond of him? it is hard to tell.

With love and devotion,

Lucrezia Borgia

dearest of the dear lucrezia,

it means i know his character and sometimes i have been known to be slightly fond of him yes
but always cautious
and you should be too

love eternally and always,
S. BLACK

Dear beloved S. Black,

I have a small suspicion he will tell the same of you if I ask.

Am I terribly mistaken?

Adoringly yours,

Lucrezia Borgia
