Sweet Tranquility;

Your company is requested on a perilous journey! one that songs would have been written on if we had a bard or a poet in our company.

it is an important mission; to go to the heart of the gardens and pick berries.

the necessary equipment is as follows;

- baskets

- a song to sing for the walk would be quite long.

- a mood which would suit such a task as berry picking.

I shall be most grateful to have your company.

Lucrezia Borgia;

[elvenking]

I believe I could accomplish such a quest with you.

video

[mansuetus]

With such guidance, I shall undoubtedly find the most handsome berries the garden has to offer. I will tell you of one of your kin that I have met; I found her charming and eloquent and humble.

[elvenking]

The lady Luthien?

[mansuetus]

I have never met the lady Luthien but if the Elvenking finds her charming and eloquent then I do trust I must introduce myself. The one I speak of is Tauriel. Your guard; she has shown me great kindness.

[woodlander]

You may find me there, lady Lucrezia. I could walk with you a while, if you were amenable.

voice

[mansuetus]

[ her voice is giddy and bright and joyful since yes. ]

More than amenable, I must request it. For as long as you have time, I shall be at your side.

voice

[woodlander]

I would enjoy that. I shall meet you at the entrance, then.

[ It's not that far from where she'd been patrolling, anyway. ]

[inafadingcrown]

I could not refuse such an important quest, nor so charming an invitation.

video; just as she should

[mansuetus]

Then truly it shall be the most wonderful of all journeys, if I am grace by the most beautiful being who ever walked upon our ship.

[ she smiles. the elf queen if one of her favorites ok. ]

Are you fond of berries, lady, Galadriel?

[inafadingcrown]

You praise me far too highly. [But it makes her smile anyway; it's sweet.]

I am, of course. I will even confess to having something of a sweet tooth.

[skjalf]

I would be most happy to accompany you upon such an adventure.

[ a beat. ]

I do enjoy song and verse, and composing both. But I fear my talent is not great.

הןdeo;

[mansuetus]

You must. I shall wait for you in the gardens. We will make such a journey of it all. I am not a great singer but -

[ her eyes are twinkling ]

I am very good at dance. We shall find someone to sing us a song we can dance to. You will grant me a dance, will you not Elizabeth?

video;

[skjalf]

I am already in the gardens, as a matter of fact. It will be but a short walk to meet you.

[ she smiles with no hint of guile. ]

I can also sing, but doing so whilst dancing would be quite the challenge indeed.

Yes, I shall. Though it is highly likely that I will require being taught first. Lest I trip over my own feet!

[ Borgia. She should keep her distance, but-

Well. She has to know. This is hardly the vicious woman she saw in Ezio's memories, and if she is marrying Arya's older brother and is under Corvo's protection.... well.

She has to know. ]

What sort of berries are there in the gardens?

text;

[mansuetus]

forest berries and garden barries; I have learned they call them strawberries. The gardens are quite vast, who knows, truly.

You should join us; we can see how many kinds we can trace.

text;

[needsheadphones]

strawberries are good.

I don't have a basket, but I can come down.

[ Truly, in the end, he does not mean to disturb her. Only that he must check, and the reason now more pressing than before. She'd invited half the ship, and he had to go for himself, given the threat that he had been told of. Just to make sure.

Corvo wouldn't spoil her happiness with his presence, but her safety came before her comfort -- or at least that was how he had been raised to his position, but he could afford her some privacy.

But she was a bride to be, and all that entailed, so he kept is distance as he trailed after her. let her keep her be happy. It was easier and simpler this really, when she stopped to begin her gathering, he found a tree to lean against, arms crossed over his chest. The dull metal of his mask glinting in the light. ]

action;

[mansuetus]

[ he has been watching her for quite a while. it is a sort of a presence lucrezia has grown used to. she has always felt as if someone was watching her on the ship but this sort of a gaze is less ominous in nature.

he watches her and she does not know why; only that she is glad to have cesare for whoever watches her is surely watched in return.

she picks a berry, brings it to her lips and speaks. ]

It is high time you and I are introduced.

action;

[vindictam]

[ There is a moment, when he realises that she has seen him enough to talk to him, rather than letting him just slip by, that he contemplates simply leaving at once.

But he knew how shocking that was ( to go like he was made of shadows ) when someone was not prepared for it. So instead, he bowed. This was his master's to be wife, after all, and though he knew little of her other than her cheerful temperament. She made Robb happy, and that was enough to afford respect. Arms stiff by his side, he bows, dipping at the waist to her. ]

We have been, Lady Lucrezia, though I do not blame you for forgetting such. [ It had been a small thing, she had asked for stories in place for dancing, and he'd given her false gold instead of the blood it truly had been. ] You asked me for a story, and I told you of the sea, and battles upon it.

[northerner]

A dangerous mission, my love? Would you like Grey Wind's company on it, to fend off whatever foes might attempt to prevent you from obtaining your berries?

[mansuetus]

His eyes are certainly sharper than the ones of the man who is counting my steps.

[ it has taken lucrezia quite a while to take notice of corvo's presence and when she did, naturally she called him out. ]

I dare guessed he wished to stay unknown to me but if he is to guard me, I'd have him at my side. He must have been born to death.

[ she'd dismiss him if she thought he'd listen but. if she can't get through to him, perhaps there is some hope in convincing robb though she does doubt that. it must be the one thing cesare would approve of. ]

is he of you realm?

private.

[northerner]

Lucrezia.

[ robb's tone is quiet, but not apologetic. ]

He is not of my realm, but he's a man of honor nonetheless. He swore himself to me, as my bannerman.

[Well, someone is on a quest to try every fruit Tranquility has to offer]

Sounds like you need a lot of help, Mamzelle.

Video

[mansuetus]

[ her face lights up. well, what is this adorableness? ]

I am in great and dire need of help. I fear I cannot succeed this on my own; but it would require a brave and valiant heart to escort me. Will you consent?

Video

[lafautedevoltaire]

I'm very brave. Someone needs to figure out just how many kinds of berry grow here.

[More than he's ever seen, that's for sure]
