✞13 Days since my Last Confession✞

[13th_crusader]

[✝]Psalms 45:3

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty warrior, clothe thyself with thy glory and thy majesty.[✝]

[☨]The holy man looks in an unbelievably good mood, as if all ill will had bleed away from him like the life of that monster he had taken down. No inebriating drugs to bring this cunning smile to his face as he wipes the last speckles of blood from his forehead and addresses the camera with a deep nod.[☨]

stray_cardinal, I believe we have something sancta_sedes of yours.

[☨]The camera turns to the body of the young pontifical child, laying peaceably upon the lap of a robed man upon a pew.[☨]

I and.. Aha, mi scusi, qual è il tuo nome per favore? [Oh excuse me, what is your name please?]

Giovanni Auditore da Firenze.

Signore Auditore, found him alone in an infested building.. He's safe at the church now, if you would like to retrieve him.

Ciào, et Deus vobiscum~

[☨]Giving the screen a succinct wave, he turns the commlink off.[☨]

Oh good, he's sleeping... So he's okay.

Thank you, Enrico, for finding him. Er... I'll be stopping by to pick him up, alright?

[hispoisonsmile.livejournal.com]

My, I do believe that is Father Nightroad and Cardinal Sforza's young Pope. And how very young he is. A heavy burden to lay on a child.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

Ah so you do know him! Well, wonderful..

Surely it wasn't difficult for his new-found tenant to get him here while I faced off with some Satan spawn.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

[DON'T REMIND HIM, HE'S TRYING TO FORGET. LA LA LA LA HE CAN'T HEAR YOUUUU!]

Y-yes.........So. It. Is.

[13sugars.livejournal.com]

I certainly do. Rather well, actually.

Ah... R-really? Well, glad to know that everyone is... okay. I'll be there in a second! Don't wake him up until I get there.

[hispoisonsmile.livejournal.com]

Are you quite all right, Archbishop? You were not injured, were you?

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

[YES! HE'S FINE! ....... no he's been puking buckets of blood in the backroom. His ulcer has come back ]

No.... But I can't say the same for.. that eight-legged freak.

[It was actually 4-legged, but who's counting?! IT'S PRETTY MUCH ON THE FLOOR NOW!]

[hispoisonsmile.livejournal.com]

How frightening! It's certainly a relief that you're such a capable warrior.

[stray-cardinal.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Archbishop. I am on my way.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

Signore Auditore seems to have easily soothed the boy's fears. I'll leave the rest to you, Reverendo.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

I'm honored to hear from you again, Your Eminence.. though I had hoped under different circumstances.

He is without a scratch if it so eases you.

[stray-cardinal.livejournal.com]

I do apologize. I have been...indisposed.

That is a relief.

[13sugars.livejournal.com]

Ah.... His sister seems to be going to pick him up...

Cardinal Caterina will be stopping by. It'd probably be beset to see a relatives face first before anything else.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

[Tickle his ego why don't you, you snake <3]

Aha, well a Agent of the church should be expected to know how to defend it and those His fortress protects.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

Have you become unwell? This weather is rather a menace to one's health, I can sympathize.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

Aha, very well then, I'll be awaiting Her Eminence patiently.

[13sugars.livejournal.com]

Alright.


... And, you are alright, right?

[stray-cardinal.livejournal.com]

Not ill, but troubled. Downcast, as the Psalmist said. I thought it best to meditate in quiet.

[For as strange as he was, Abel was the closest thing he had to a confidante in this cesspit.]











I need an antacid.

[13sugars.livejournal.com]

... [FFFFFFFFFFF]

I'm coming over right now.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

Surely can I sympathize with that then.

I've spent the better half of this and last month in the confessional, lamenting my qualms over our rather.. grim position.

[stray-cardinal.livejournal.com]

Sometimes rejoicing in the midst of trial is easier said than done.
