Sprezzatura

Who: Micheletto, Lucrezia, and open
What: Reading a book, it's very exciting
When: 10/January, early evening
Where: Lobby...
Rating: PG wow boring

Ordinarily he'd be doing this outdoors, but the weather just isn't for it, so Micheletto has taken up in the lobby, leaning against a pillar and casually thumbing through a book. He doesn't seem particularly enthused in the material, which begs the question as to why he's reading it -- but that could just be the constant expression of disinterest he wears rather than a reflection of how he feels about the content.

The book looks to be old, but in very good shape, and the words on the binding are in Italian. Occasionally he'll glance up and look around, as if he's waiting for someone, but then he goes right back to reading.

Her brother's personal assistant is certainly no proper cortegiano, which is precisely the problem. It would not do at all, especially since she discovered his lack of hiding skill. At least here. Lucrezia makes her appearance known, stepping out from behind a pillar to watch him as she slowly circles round.

"Is my brother otherwise occupied?" That is, too busy to help you read that, manservant?
heloise: (+ / outwit)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-01-11 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Lucrezia tips her head to one side, betraying her irritation for a moment. But only for a moment. She wonders if he takes pleasure in it and would not wish to indulge him.

"Never mind that," she takes a seat at a nearby couch and smiles ever so sweetly instead. "I shall help you."
heloise: (+ / second son)

Mind you, it's a perfectly fine conclusion given the state of his dress though even Lucrezia must admit that he is more finely spoken than many commoners. One wonders. She holds out her hand for the book, the smile still like a mask on her face.

"You may," she relishes her words. "Because you are my brother's."
heloise: (& / little sister)

Lucrezia at least tries to open it back to his last page, glancing his way with some amusement. She pays enough attention to her servants when she wishes to glean information about her own family.

"The question is, will you?" But she allows that one to be a rhetorical one. Now, about sprezzatura. "Do you know how to dance?"
heloise: (+ / pleases)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-01-12 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
She flips through the pages to find the relevant page, smiling with amusement to herself before looking up at him with a measure of feigned pity. Look at her new shiny toy, unable yet to dance.

"Sparring is a kind of dancing, is it not?" She curbs her grin. "Would you like to learn?"
heloise: (@ / turn)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-01-14 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
There is something about grace of movement and speech in there, which are practiced best in a dance. Lucrezia closes the book and sets it down on the sofa, so that she can stand and offer him a hand.

"I say you will."
heloise: (* / sell)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-01-24 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Lucrezia takes back her hand when he stands and bows, watching him warily.

"Then I would be displeased," though it pleases her to see his head lowered still. She stares him down, tries to read through him, then gives up. She has a few guesses as to who this man is to her brother but nothing in their Rome is ever as they appear. One never knows.

"There are other ways to amend it."

Ezio is just passing through, as he usually is: en route to somewhere, and then en route back. But it's hard to just walk past someone who is connected to your enemy, and that is precisely what slows his gait as he passes. He stops, even, some distance away, with a smirk.

"A scholar now, are you?"

assassino: (calm ❧ he's just another girl addict)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-01-11 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
His tone is a touch goading.

"Spar with me. That will pass some time."
assassino: (assassin ❧ i'll write you a postcard)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-01-11 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ezio knows that look, that appraising one where you take a potential enemy up for size and judge your odds. He does it all the time, doesn't he?

"You must not have much stamina, then."
assassino: (action ❧ felt so lonely in your company)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-01-11 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is no concern at all to me," he smiles.
assassino: (assassin ❧ my dear sons)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-01-11 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ezio starts circling, just to keep moving about.

"Only when there is real need of it. A crisis, if you will. When sparring for sport, however, what would the point be?"
assassino: (calm ❧ and time is running low)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-01-12 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ezio chuckles.

"I never said 'just', did I?" He draws a little closer, just because he can. "And I have never had my throat cut or my purse stolen in my entire life... why would I begin now?"

Except the purse. He has had his purse stolen, but Micheletto doesn't need to know that.
