Ah, Venizia, bella. The memories that you bring back with you are glorious, indeed. A fitting stage, perhaps, for the story that spawned this day. A fine bottle of Rosso di Montalcino, perhaps, to commemorate Valentinus.

How ironic, that the patron saint of love was such an unschooled, clumsy lover. Perhaps the day of Lupercalia would be more to

.... I want one, but.

[ordenmagier]

What would you like to have, kitten?

[therippling]

I can't today.

[ordenmagier]

Oh?

[evilsincebirth]

Oh?~ Are you sure those memories were pleasant, Isaak? That was your first failure.

[evilsincebirth]

I'm coming.

[ordenmagier]

Would I say that if they weren't, Dietrich?

Bring some caviar with you, hm? And oysters.

You need your chauffer to play fetch, hmm?~

Ma~gi~cian~! Mein Liebe! I have been so, so lonely. That young man was rude to leave a cute, young lady like me alone for that hussy!~

Oh, horrors to think of the times ahead. A shared supper between friends is all what I need to rise and shine next morning! ♡

[ordenmagier]

Oh? Come and join me if you will, Kaspar. I'm sure the various delicacies will take your mind off less pleasant happenings, hm?

Will so! Will so! Kukukuku... I have to wear the new face the Magister asked me to practice my act. Oh, the young devil and his taste for women could be better, but that would have to be. At least she's cute to the eyes and the sister habit suits me.

[ordenmagier]

The new face? Ah, is it Esther Blanchett, then?

Lupercalia--I hadn't thought of that, but I wouldn't put it past the City to celebrate that alongside St. Valentine's Day.

There will be a shortage of goats and dogs if it does decide to observe it. It does seem, from what I recall of reading about it, a holiday rather to the liking of more than a few citizens.

[ordenmagier]

Some citizens love to practice such carnal activities, do they not? Nonetheless, this day is one worth savoring, if only for the scenic atmosphere.

Would you care to join me for a bit, Lord Hargreaves?

[misterblackbird]

Indeed they do, and they need no such holiday as an excuse to practice them either. Still, you are right. It's remarkable that as hateful a place as this can become perfectly beautiful for a day at a time.

If I can spare the time I should greatly enjoy that, thank you. However, I've a companion here with whom I should very much like to see the City. I believe we're not to leave until some time later, and she'll almost certainly be busy with her preparations until then.
