closed | I'll take the long way 'round

[vaccination]

Date & Time: Around the 24th.
Location: The Borgia's room.
Characters: Ellie, Lucrezia, and Cesare.
Summary: Ellie is frustrated and sad and angry, so she's hanging out with historical figures and braiding hair.
Warnings: Cesare and Lucrezia ;) and Ellie's swearing, as always.


[Ellie didn't think Cesare would be high on her List of People to Bother, but today he and his sister are. There's something about the way that they talk that makes them feel unreal, even more so than the people she knows who are superheroes and nonhuman. They're above or beyond the stupid mutiny, debates about what's right, things like that.

She just needs a break from it all. If she doesn't, she's pretty sure she'll lose her mind.

Ellie might not grasp what her new found friends from the Renaissance are talking about a lot of the time (she can't even name when the Renaissance is or what it is), but their company isn't bad. So that's why she's here on Cesare's suggestion, knocking on the door lightly, but loud enough to be heard.]

[ Biting. Now that would be a first. He goes ahead to take back his seat beside his sister, but not before he pokes her nose in reprimand. He's in a very good mood, hardly able to restrain his smile whenever he turns to Lucrezia. It's so painfully obvious. Subtlety doesn't run in the family. ]

Flowing red skirts and gold necklaces. Even a pretty ring.

his derpy face in that iconfffffff

Only Cesare wore his hair free.

[ The nose poke brings out that smile, dimples peeking in her cheeks, eyes briefly meeting his. In return she reaches to tug on a dark strand of said hair, and then focuses her full attention on Ellie. ]

Have you anything with you that you wish to share?

[ likecandy Like a new game for them to learn. A pun joke book, something from her world/time. Because Lucrezia is always curious to learn more and fascinated. ]

[Must be nice, having a sister or a brother. That's not a thing Ellie's ever yearned for, but it's nice to see.]

Was I supposed to bring something?

hey don't insult his face plsthx!!!

[cesar]

[ It's probably telling, how he leans forward to let Lucrezia play with his hair to her heart's content. He's the sappiest sap in the entire universe when it comes to her. ]

If not a comb then she must have brought a pun with her.

adkg;akga never

[iluminar]

[ She twines the hair around and around, releases it so that it springs back. ]

You did bring a comb, did you not?

[ Lucrezia leans a little forward towards Ellie, expectant. ]

[vaccination]

Nooo... and you have my pun book, Cesare. You can share with the class.

[She'll just sit over here.]

[cesar]

What a conundrum.

[ He tries a mock frown but fails miserably. ]

Perhaps you cpuld do a song and dance instead. Would that please you, sis?

[iluminar]

[ Lucrezia discreetly elbows Cesare in the side, lips trying not to twitch into a smile. ]

What would please me, dear brother, is if we played a game. A game of exchange.

[ She says this while not taking her attention off of Ellie. ]

[vaccination]

You guys are giving me a headache. I thought we were supposed to be doing hair stuff.

[She has the sneaking suspicion they're getting a real kick out of teasing her.]
