You said that you would wait a month. You've been saying that for a week now, that you need to see how things "work out" for me, and then you'd take me somewhere that I can cast off these damnable robes and take the place we both know I deserve.

But I'm getting impatient, dear lady. We have both seen what is to happen, that I will again be neglected my heart's desire. Perhaps you cannot remedy that, but you can at least remove me from suffering the indignity of the situation.



What do you mean, "unless Juan shows up too"?

Damnable robes? Sounds unpleasant.

[markofborgia]

Unpleasant for me, of course. Other men might be more inclined to give themselves to the cloth.

[secondchances]

Oh, cloth like--holy cloth! I gotcha. Did you lose a bet or something?

[markofborgia]

[He chuckles.] If only it were as simple as that, madam. No. My place in the Church was chosen by my birth.

omg 8') Cesare Borgia, be still my beating heart

[assassino]

Ah, and it would be terrible for a Borgia to suffer an indignity, wouldn't it?

[markofborgia]

[Oh. One of those. Can't he ever get a moment's peace from people who hate him for his name?]

Do you think it fair to be forced to watch someone else live the life you yourself crave and deserve?

[assassino]

No, but that's why you go out and seize any opportunity you can. Surely a Borgia can do that.

[markofborgia]

You overestimate the power of my name.

Who are you, anyway?

[ino]

They do like to procrastinate, don't they?

[markofborgia]

She seems to be under the impression that she needs to know everything that will happen before she can "do anything with me", as she keeps saying.

It's rather dehumanizing.

[ino]

[a little laugh] If that were really true, I still wouldn't be anywhere, myself. But yeah, all that talk of "putting you away", "taking you out" -- it's like we're dolls, or something.

[markofborgia]

Hopefully they take better care of us than most children do of their toys.

[chancing]

Unfortunately, the ones who control us seem to care little if we grow impatient with them.

[markofborgia]

Are you impatient with yours, good lady?

[chancing]

At times. She has been much more bearable than usual as of late, thankfully.

[markofborgia]

This is good to hear. May I ask your name, madam?

[eternityalone]

You should be careful about mentioning places you 'deserve' to go. Those sort of statements often get abused.

[markofborgia]

Ah, but the place I deserve to go is a position, and I have proven more than once that I should be the son who bears the title.

[eternityalone]

For a moment there I thought you were going to talk about bearing weight.

[getsthelastword]

Well. There's a name I haven't heard in a very long time.

[markofborgia]

I'm sorry?

[getsthelastword]

I suppose I should be the one apologizing, Cardinal. I've been led to understand that the puppet master has you in my "headcanon." Whatever the hell that means.

I SEE YOU'VE MET MY FRIENDS

[heloise]

It must be a prince's seat then. Nothing less.

I HAD MET THEM BEFORE

[markofborgia]

What must be, sis?

I'M SO HAPPY I COULD CRY~

[heloise]

The place you deserve, Cesare.
