I hate to admit it, but you are quite right.

[helping you with your stuff]

I have a bottle of wine in my belongings, crude, but it shall suffice.

[Toooooo the hotellll]

I might be able to find something better...

[and he'll make a stop off at his room before he follows]

You are truly the most generious.

[Man so. Pretty much the best way to describe the room is "the leopard-print bedding is the classiest part".]

I had no choice of the decorations, I should let you know.

Are you certain? It seems fitting, somehow.

[let's just get to drinking]

No, I can not deny that.

[BOOZE IS HAPPENING]

[let's enjoy drinking]

You did not have to leave.

[Taking a good swig right off the bat]

I did, one brother does not want me in his sight and the other thinks me a chore. If I must live with that, I will live alone.

To be fair to my younger self, you can be a chore.

[yeah, they will go through this pretty fast]

So are you, and our dear sis, it does not mean that we should set us to mindless buisywork.

And yet father gave you the papal armies.

[that was sort of supposed to be an insult]

Yes, he did. It is good that he did, for I was only raised to do that task.

Regardless of your natural talent.

And what field would you give me brother, the priesthood?

You would have been better suited to a role like Lucrezia's. Marry well and live a life of luxury and sin.

But then our father would have words with me of my duty if I was a man... and if I were a woman I would not have the freedom to commit those sins. Would you have me a courtisan? I wouldn't be suited to the female role.

You do lack the legs of a good courtesan. But I was simply expressing my opinion on what role would suit you best.

The cicisbeo will not come into use for centuries, so you see how I must remain a soldier.

[you're taking the fun out of this]

[more drinking]

[Taking the bottle away to drink straight from that fucker.]

I often question what I would have been if father did not become pope. Do you remember the day of the old one's death? We all seemed happy then.

We had nothing but bright future ahead of us. And danger that we could never have foreseen.

And we were both trained for what we would be when our father became the pope. What would you have become if we had remained the sons of a cardinal?

What am I now?

But you could lead no papal armies, and I doubt you would have been made cardinal.

I did not wish to be named cardinal, that was father's doing not mine.
