Medici (2016 - )
@requiescatiinpace said: "my father gave me this , it will protect you."
TO GIVE UP A GIFT, especially one from one’s father, was no easy thing to do and so it was no surprise that cammilla was both surprised and incredibly FLATTERED. it seemed tensions within the city were rising and, ‘for their safety’, the women of the family were to leave for the villa in fiesole at the earliest convenience. cammilla, being the most stubborn of the siblings, had made her displeasure at the idea of leaving others behind VERY clear but she would never let it be known that she was also a little frightened, worried that matters might escalate whilst they were away and any last memories would be of them fleeing.
for a brief moment her nerves soothed, her eyes focused on the trinket as gentle fingers wrapped around it for safe keeping. “ THANK YOU, messere, when we return i shall bring it back to you safely. i promise. ”

episode six: ascendancy: ❝ There were hundreds of them all chanting our names! ❞ ❝ You lied to me. ❞ ❝ How is it that my whole family has returned yet I feel more alone than ever? ❞ ❝ You must find a wife of noble blood soon. ❞ ❝ Surprises seem to be your forte at the moment. ❞ ❝ Do you intend to hold your piece forever? ❞ ❝ You thought you were a martyr but you were nothing but a child with a paper sword. ❞ ❝ Had I the choice again perhaps I would let you die. ❞ ❝ The leash you think is in your hand is around your neck. ❞ ❝ Remember to whom you speak! ❞ ❝ Our home will still be here when I am gone. ❞ ❝ Have you come to make fun of me? ❞ ❝ You and me, we are the same. I just want you to know you are not alone. ❞ ❝ You have a friend here. ❞ ❝ Why are you shutting me out? ❞ ❝ Was it such an unforgivable treason to have saved your life?❞ ❝ You’re in no position to judge me. ❞ ❝ Yes, I flirted with him. He even asked me to go away but I didn’t. ❞ ❝ That was your duty as my wife! ❞ ❝ What of your duty as my husband? ❞ ❝ Who are we to take this man’s life? ❞ ❝ If you are wise, you will not return. ❞ ❝ This way! Follow me! ❞
episode seven: purgatory: ❝ So cruelly torn from this world by the swords of sinners. ❞ ❝ There are always threats. Enemies. I choose to eat with my back to the wall. ❞ ❝ Well, you do it… How hard can it be? ❞ ❝ You must not torture yourself.❞ ❝ What if the truth only brought you pain? ❞ ❝ What exactly is it that you accuse me of? ❞ ❝ All men are capable of murder! ❞ ❝ Perhaps I should run away, nobody would even notice if I was gone. ❞ ❝ So what’s keeping you awake? ❞ ❝ You shouldn’t talk that way about yourself, you’re so much more than that. ❞ ❝ It was just a dream. It’s alright, I’m here. ❞ ❝ I will stay with you in case your nightmares return. ❞ ❝ I’ll sleep better alone. ❞ ❝ A woman of your intelligence should not delude herself. ❞ ❝ There is no mercy in his heart, it is made of stone. ❞ ❝ The only comfort I have is that you now know what sort of monster you are married to. ❞ ❝ I implore you not to listen to their lies. ❞ ❝ He has locked me out of his heart. ❞ ❝ Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. ❞ ❝ We must ensure that we have his undivided loyalty. ❞ ❝ I cannot let you go! ❞ ❝ There is no sum of money in the world large enough to make me raise a hand against this family. ❞
episode eight: epiphany: ❝ You think she is with child? ❞ ❝ I don’t think that I can ever forgive you for that. ❞ ❝ For some women, falling pregnant, it’s all too easy. ❞ ❝ You know what must be done, you always do. ❞ ❝ Do you know who the father of your child is? ❞ ❝ If you ever speak to me like that again you will be on your way to the slave market in Genoa. ❞ ❝ You always get what you want in the end. ❞ ❝ I was going to leave you. ❞ ❝ I just found him lying dead in the cells. He’s been stabbed. ❞ ❝ Many will die, blood will run through the streets and your position will be secured. ❞ ❝ Everything I have ever done has been for Florence, for you, for the greater glory of god. ❞ ❝ I would be glad to offer you my services. ❞ ❝ I am more my father than he ever was, that is why God is punishing me. ❞ ❝ Perhaps this child is an opportunity for both of us.❞ ❝ I have sins of my own. But as long as we can breathe, there is a chance that we can atone for them. ❞ ❝ I will help you. ❞ ❝ This matter is better left alone. ❞ ❝ I will marry her! ❞ ❝ A stallion may mount a donkey and get a mule, I like mules! ❞ ❝ You have not become your father, you are a better man than he ever was. ❞ ❝ You’re with child? Are you sure? ❞ ❝ It will be a boy, we’re sure of it. ❞

SO HERE’S THE DEAL; i’ve cleared out the blogs i’m following and who follows me so i can start from scratch. i’ll definitely be following most back, it may take a little time, but i was following so many that i didn’t interact with ic or ooc and some blogs weren’t even in use anymore, i wanted to clean up my dash and release some of the pressure! i’m going to keep interactions selective but PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEASE don’t let that put you off, i just want to be here to enjoy myself as opposed to stressing about how many replies i have to do or who i need to reply ooc too because we’re all about putting our sanity first in 2020.
SO !! i’ll be following a lot of people back as of now and please don’t be alarmed if you notice you suddenly aren’t following me if you were before, i just wanted a clean slate so you are free to follow me back if you wish or not! that’s ok too! can’t wait to be back interacting with you all again <3
*pokes head out* well hi there
COSIMO HAS NOT FELT THIS ELATED IN A LONG TIME , to return home to such good news. It’s clear that Contessina is as estatic about this as he was. "You did not write to tell me you were unwell , or have one of our sons do so.“ THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE FROWN UPON HIS FACE. Cosimo is no fool , he knows Contessina had not wished to worry him but he would rather have known. "I would have come home sooner.” Words repeated. COSIMO FEELS AS IF HE IS SECOND GUESSING EACH OF HIS CHOICES AS OF LATE. His fingers brush tentatively against her stomach , almost as if reaching out to the life there. “Hmmmm.” The sound he makes is teasing , a little laugh leaving him. “I fear it will take little convincing my love , i am exhausted.” He confesses. “The trip was long , and Piero’s fretting did not make it any shorter. I think he is glad to be back home. As am i.” He is glad to have her back in his arms.
EVEN WITH THE RETURN OF A FROWN, CONTESSINA NEVER FAILED TO SMILE AT HIM, hands continuous in their embrace of him as if they were searching to cast the feel of cosimo being there, being HOME, to her memory. “ if i had you would have returned in haste, that was the last thing i would wish when i want you to come back to us safely. ” the feeling of of his fingers against her stomach sent a shiver up her spine, a feeling of reassurance and of homecoming that she had never felt before. they were beginning to feel like a truly united front; a FAMILY. “ then i will stay with you, we are glad to have you home and wish it were not so that business could take you away from us again at any given moment. ” hands drifted down his arms to place her hands within his own, drifting herself towards the bed and luring cosimo with her.. “ wont you hold me? so that we might forget how tiresome and long your trip was? ”
