ladyofthehouse[Austria throws Jacopo inside, looking more than a little winded from the walk from the common room to her room. She takes a moment to catch her breath.
Then throws her arms around him in an embrace!]

You told Jinah about Vriska didn't you.
[THANK. GOD.]

Date: 2017-09-04 04:10 am (UTC)Yeah. We made a deal -- I told her that she'd have to suicide. She agreed to it. I'm waiting to see what the Chief says before giving her the cue this week. It's the easiest way to ensure Vriska dies.
And Jinah has...wanted this for some time. We were never very different in that regard.
[ he sighs. ]
Sorry, by the way. For...well, a lot.
1/2
Date: 2017-09-04 04:23 am (UTC)[If she commits suicide to take out Vriska and send them both here, that's fine. Permanently killing herself is just not acceptable however.]
2/2
Date: 2017-09-04 04:28 am (UTC)Worse still why did she have to be executed? She could have told someone who could have looked into things after she was gone at least!]
Sorry?
[She wasn't expecting that word out of his mouth.]
no subject
Date: 2017-09-04 05:56 am (UTC)[ well, that prompts a flustered scratch of the head. ]
I've failed you in more ways than one. So, I'm sorry.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-04 06:05 am (UTC)...
Well. [She clears her throat.] you wouldn't be the first. Or. Even the last.
...I wouldn't worry about it. [She knows she's... difficult.]

Date: 2017-09-04 06:32 pm (UTC)[ i mean?? HE'S JUST BEING HONEST?? and then, much more nonchalantly-- ]
Are you not cold in that?

2/2
Date: 2017-09-04 08:30 pm (UTC)Nein. I'm perfectly comfortable.
[She knew this moment couldn't last very long.
MEN.]
Are you cold?
[WITH YOUR SHIRT OPEN LIKE THAT.]

Oh, for Christ's sake! It was a genuine question, you idiot! It's natural to worry when you grew up with a group of scantily clad women who were at risk of freezing in the winter!
[ wait one second. ]
Not to say that I was, worried, as there wouldn't be any reason for that. You appear to be perfectly comfortable. So I wasn't worried.

Date: 2017-09-04 09:18 pm (UTC)[ you don't have to call him out like this!! ]

Date: 2017-09-04 09:33 pm (UTC)[She says this like it's not even the slightest bit hypocritical.]

Date: 2017-09-04 11:34 pm (UTC)[ LISTEN? ]
There's nothing sweet about me. You're speaking to capofamiglia, Austria. I'm sure Italy has expressed their grievances about our kind.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-05 12:21 am (UTC)In fact you're practically a walking stereotype of South Italy. You're just missing the hair curl.

Date: 2017-09-05 03:19 am (UTC)I'm rather fond of my Italy.
[Spain has enough fondness for South Italy for the two of them tbh.]
no subject
Date: 2017-09-05 03:41 am (UTC)[ the resentment to that statement is evident in his voice. ]
We were starving, and became a nation of bloodshed and crime as they flounced about. Much of what I did was for my people.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-05 04:46 am (UTC)Then she'd be proud of you. For everything you did for your shared people. For everything you did and continue to do for those on that island.
Or at least if you were one of mine, I would certainly be.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-05 05:28 am (UTC)[ he doesn't know...how to react to something like that. people don't tell him that they're proud of him. actually, only one person ever has, and he's been long gone for approximately an eon now.
so his eyes widen. his expression softens into something inexplicable and childlike. he looks towards the ground as though he were a child, and sheepishly straightens his shoulders again. ]
...I wanted to show the world that we were more than some...impoverished, savage peripheries...I hated it there as a kid, and yet I found myself longing for that island after I moved to the New World. America, ha. The wealth and power I accumulated...I wanted to turn us into something else. Something more than what they saw us as.
I couldn't return...but I will always remember the peace her sea offered me.
[ he smiles, softly. ]
...Thank you. I can imagine that your own feel...similarly.
1/2
Date: 2017-09-07 10:21 pm (UTC)I'm sure it'd mean a lot to her to hear it.
2/2
Date: 2017-09-07 10:23 pm (UTC)Oh. That's.
Mm.
[She doubts that. Very much.]
