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.

[ she smiles. she does love the nickname. ]

Some do. I do not dare guess who are the ones who heard of the Borgias of the Vatican and who did not. You have heard of my Holy Father, signore?

[unaccepted]

Even an ignorant and uneducated man like myself has heard of such a reign, despite how... cross some can become on the topic.

Ah, pardon, I am from France, of 1832. You can know me as R.

[mansuetus]

I have met another French gentleman of France, signore. Two, now that I think back. Your land seems to be well loved by the ship.

[unaccepted]

Yes, I've found some myself. It could also be that our land tired of us, and has sent us to roam the skies. There are few people who, once having visited Paris, thinks it loved.

[mansuetus]

I have always cared to visit France but the opportunity never presented itself. The French king is not quite allied with Rome.
