Lucrezia pursed her lips and moved in a little closer.
"More so than the King himself?" she asked in a whisper.

"Lucrezia!" Kat thought about it, though.
"They're very different," she dodged. "Cesare is... dark, Spanish. The King is about as English as they come without red hair."

"And if both professed their undying, most true and faithful love for you one day?"
She couldn't help but laugh.

"I think that's about as likely to happen as me sprouting wings. But..."
She had thought about this. A little. Maybe.
"I'd believe it more, coming from Cesare. He doesn't seem like the type to take that lightly. After all, King Henry used to love his wife, and look how that turned out. I think even if he loved someone, he wouldn't know quite how to truly commit to that person as an equal."

Lucrezia flung her arms around her friend's shoulders and gave her a big hug.
"Then it is settled!" she said happily. "I'm going to make Cesare confess his love and you will become my sister-in-law!"

"Ack! Lucrezia, if you say a single word to your brother..."

"Perché Catalina? Do you not want to be my sister?"

"Well that's not fair!" Kat sighed. "Fine, I'll marry Cesare, we'll have a brood of loud, auburn-headed children and bicker for the rest of our lives, and you and I can be sisters."

"I cannot wait!"
Lucrezia looked up at the ceiling again as she hugged her pillow.
"You must forgive Cesare's coldness, Catalina," she said, more seriously. His unfriendliness hadn't escaped her.

"I just don't understand it. His first night at court, he was as friendly as can be, and after that," she snapped her fingers. "Nothing. A wall went up."

"My brother is not quick to trust," she explained. "It is both his virtue and his vice. Please don't think he hates you, Kat. I know him well and I know he doesn't hate you."

"Well if he waits much longer to warm up, he'll be talking to the Queen of England," she said grandly, then giggled.

Lucrezia laughed.
"I think I should start practicing now," she said teasingly. "Queen Catalina-- no! Queen Kathleen. Oh, that title is very becoming!"

Lucrezia leaped up and curtsied in her nighty.
"Your Highness," she said floridly with a giggle.
