[corporeity]

A gift from my favourite Salvatore, and I haven’t even made it to my rooms. What an auspicious start to my stay.

I’ve always time for you. That is to say, I’ve to tend the confessions tonight and tomorrow morning, but the Reverend Ashcroft will be sharing my usual duties from Thursday onward.

[ which is — fine. ]

[blooded]

The Reverend? Well. I suppose we are in England.

[ eugh, protestants. ]

Don't be too excited about the gift—it's as predictable as it's always been. Just as sincerely offered, though.

[corporeity]

Quite.

[ he didn’t want to be the one to say it! ]

I’ll be adequately enthused, then. Nothing too obscene.
Is the rest of the family here?

[blooded]

Yes, all of us—Stefano, Katherine, Teo. Have we told you about Roza yet? She is una miracola, you'll adore her.

Thank you for the prayers, by the way. For our father. We are very grateful.

[corporeity]

I’ll admit I’d heard rumours, but I’ve yet to meet her myself. I’m glad you’ve embraced her so.

[ and maybe fresh blood is what the salvatores need. ]

Of course. You and Stefano remain in my prayers.

[ with how grief, even for a difficult man, persists. ]

[blooded]

I'm still working on Stefano about her, he insisted on a paternity test. Ridiculous, of course—our father was many things, but a liar was rarely one of them.

[ he'd have to have had shame for that. ]

You're always too kind, Signore. If you can make time, perhaps we could pray together this coming Sunday? There is much in this family to pray over, and few enough souls in the cathedral to do it.

[ he remains, as ever, the only salvatore to take the matter of faith seriously. ]

[corporeity]

If Roza is half as lovely as you say, he’ll surely come around. Stefano takes his time.

[ To think (and brood). ]

Nothing would bring me greater joy. As you know, I spend rather a lot of time entertaining those without sincere interest in the faith, on my visits.

[ he half-wonders if his invites persist out of hope for a scandal. ]
