Room 426, Sunday Evening

Oct 03, 2011 11:21

After being ambushed by Lionel at the mixer on Friday, Lex hadn't held out much hope of staying past the weekend. Sure he'd come up with more than enough reasons why he should be allowed to, but even if he wasn't aware of the fact that and his father had fundamentally different definitions of 'good reasons', it would be too much like winning ( Read more... )

For his part, Lionel was far, far too cheerful when he finally made an appearance in the doorway. "Why, Lex, whatever are you doing?"

Oh, great, Lionel was going to drag things out just to hammer home the lesson. Like being forced back to Excelsior wouldn't do that. "Exactly what it looks like, Dad. Packing."

"Why on Earth would you want to do that?" Lionel asked, all innocence, coming over to lean against Lex's bed. "You just got settled in."

Lex eyed his father, they were really going to play it like that?

Lucrezia had spent a great deal of her weekend with Cesare, catching up on all that they had missed, if not more. A month was too long. Any time was too long.

Cesare did have to leave soon, but he was insisting on visiting her room again, and she had to confess, she was reluctant to see him go.

Perhaps he was stalling for time. She would not hold such matters against him.

They stumbled into the room, laughing over some ridiculous matter, but Lucrezia stopped when she saw ... the boy, packing.

"Lex," she said. "You aren't leaving."

It was a question, even if it did not sound like one.

A half-second too late, Lucrezia realized that her efforts to keep her brother from discovering her roommate's identity (or, more specifically, gender) had, at this late hour, been foiled.

"Not by choice," Lex replied. "But my dad came to visit and I don't think I'll get much say in the matter."

He noticed Lucrezia wasn't alone. "Is this your brother?" This could hardly end well. On the upside if he was in traction, he'd get to stay on the island a while longer.

"But that is terrible," Lucrezia said, frowning. "Does he disapprove of the school? Why did he send you here only to withdraw you again?"

She was being rude, and so she drew herself up properly.

"Lex, this is my brother, Cesare," she nodded. "Cesare, Lex, who shares my quarters."

Inspiration led her to add, "He is quite the devout monastic, though he does not wear his monk's-robes while in civilian life."

"I see," Cesare said, holding out his hand warily. "What is it that brings one of your order to this institution, Brother Lex?"

He did not quite believe his sister's story. The boy was attractive, and young. His sister was charming, and had not mentioned a monk in her sleeping-quarters. Cesare was not slow.
