You are most certainly not my brother, the very thought of someone using our youngest sibling would inspire him to a long tirade.

[maleborgia]

I never said I would use him, simply that it would be easier to keep him out of trouble. This place can be supremely volatile and however you care to argue our proper relation, I would rather not have family, or its mirrored image, submitted to some of the more unpleasant punishments routinely doled out here.

Si quieres creerme o no, soy Cesar. *...it is probably safe to assume that their conversation is in Spanish from here on out, with the automatic "no one else gets to hear family arguments" switch getting flipped*

... Now that does sound like him. Tell me, what would you do to me were you to find me after a night's entertainment?

[maleborgia]

Juan, you realize when I saw you last, you were fourteen?

[foundjuanting.livejournal.com]

A childhood tale then. If I am to entrust you with my safety, you should first be safe.

[maleborgia]

Fine. When we were children you insisted on climbing into my bed at night instead of sleeping on your own. I believe you should remember this, it only stopped when you were six and I left mother's estate.

That... I do not recall that ever happening.

*eye roll :| *

Come, let me show you where you may stable your horse. *taking the goddamn reins from you, younger brother, and leading your horse*

I know how to guide my own horse, "brother". He is used to my hand.

Oh! What an auspicious date, then. ( Chuckles. )

[maleborgia]

Yes, it is. Oh, actually, I know Cristobal Colón. I spoke with him a little before I arrived here.

[quixotical]

Did you really now? How exciting!

[maleborgia]

He was already hired to go on his voyage, but of course he did not know what he would discover.

[quixotical]

I don't think any of us did! Really, who would've thought there'd be two other continents that way!

[maleborgia]

My father did try to grant you as much territory as possible. Perhaps after visiting the Americas for myself I will convince him to press it more firmly. *teasing, at least mostly*

[quixotical]

You should, you should! Although I wonder what would've happened if I had gained control of more of North America before the others...

[maleborgia]

That is a good question. I understand that the northern areas do not have the same sort of abundance of easily exploitable wealth as the southern ones.

[MUCH LATER]

How much time has passed?

[maleborgia]

Enough.

[foundjuanting.livejournal.com]

When people leave, do they know when their time comes?

[maleborgia]

Some do. I believe some are just as unaware as they were when they arrived.

[foundjuanting.livejournal.com]

... Come brother, let's take a ride to the edge of this place.

[maleborgia]

...All right. *leading the way to the stables*

What does a legacy mean to you?

[maleborgia]

In terms of our family, you mean? It's what we will be remembered for.
