Who will bring God?

[hollow_ring]

Dear mun,

I find myself both excited and anxious on the idea of seeing my.. the Holy Father once again. It has occurred to me that the Kingdom is without a church, without the word of God–– how can such be?

If the Holy Father were to come, I know God would follow, and from his mouth we would have guidance through our troubling situation. Though my brother may have reservations, I believe he too wishes for the Holy Father to grace us with his presence.

Cesare may need bring God himself, in the end. Perhaps I will address this with him.

Lucrezia Borgia

Putting faith in your brother?

[hollow_ring]

Of course, why would you ask such a question?

[hungaryforblood]

I apologize. Faith in family is foreign to me.

[hollow_ring]

That is truly sad, how could that be?

[hungaryforblood]

When one is a bargaining tool, one learns the falsities of familial trust.

[hollow_ring]

Perhaps your family does not understand the importance of unity. A family shares burdens.

[hungaryforblood]

I only wish that were true. I...I am starting to forget my father's face.

[unholydecree]

Have you news I do not in regard to the Holy Father joining us?

[hollow_ring]

I do not, it was a passing thought. He has been a part of my whole life, it is strange to not have him near.

[unholydecree]

Though for you it has not yet come to pass there will be a time, Lucrezia, when you hardly see him at all. Once his plans for you are done, that is.

[hollow_ring]

Your words may be true, but you are cruel to tell me this in my moment of want of him.

Even if that is so, are there not times he misses me as I him?

[unholydecree]

Father does love you very much. [But he will use you in every way that he can.]

[falcondive]

A man does not bring a God.

[hollow_ring]

Surely he does, how else does God travel if not by word, by example, and by the faith of his followers?

[falcondive]

God is everywhere at once, if scripture is to be trusted. He is already there with you, your faith and your words only remind you of His eternal presence.

[hollow_ring]

But who speaks for Him? I would need his guidance, even if I have faith, I cannot walk alone on this unsettled path.

[falcondive]

He should speak to you Himself. Why do need a priest to tell you what you should already know?

[eeyupbuck]

That'd be real nice if you got more family wheree'er you are. I hope you do, miss.

[hollow_ring]

My brother is with me, I think him better than none––is that selfish of me?

I cannot lie, I would want him there more than any others.

[eeyupbuck]

Naw that ain't selfish, just means you two must be real close. Ain't nothin wrong with that.

[hollow_ring]

Yes, we are.

Do you have someone you are close to, in such that would leave your heart wanting for them day and night?

[eeyupbuck]

Welp. No I can't say as to that, though I do love my sister Applejack. I do miss her, but it ain't a ... heart wanting day and night sorta missin.

♪ Oh, the Borgias were a family, an ambitious grasping group
They had quite their share of foes
And more than a few of those
Turned up lying facedown in their soup ♪

[ grabs the instrument away from the minstrel. ]

Must you, every time you see a tragic character?

[regretzio]

[str- hey! He was strumming that :(]

[amelodically]

Yours is a misplaced diatribe
Your view's a deal askew
Tragic's more apt to describe
The ones the Borgias happen to

[hungaryforblood]

[ She flips the instrument and starts to strum. ]

Your music is bland
And as it stands
You may leave this world
Without your hands.

[regretzio]

[hey, that's not bad]

His Holiness' rightful place has always been Roma, my dear girl. It would be a trouble for the Holy Church if he relocates anywhere else.
