Humoring her in her delusions might be funny, but you feel like you've already been too mean with her today, anything you hear her saying without her consent will make things a lot awkward when she realizes what she just said. Staying silent and pretending you're not here is the smartest move.
"..."
"Don't play stupid with me, Serpico! I know it's you! This is an order! Answer your mistress!" She keeps tugging at your hair and probing your face. If she won't believe that you're you, might as well pretend to be sleeping.
You snore, hoping she believes it.
"I see how it is, you're just jealous that I prefer Vlad over you, isn't it?" Awesome, she's going to keep talking anyway... "After I drank your blood, whipped you for my entertainment and made you kill your mother, I'm ditching you for someone who can actually returns my feelings after I inflicted pain on them."
Farnese did what? That's the first time you're hearing this... Is that the piece of information Serpico didn't want you to know when you first interrogated him on why he endures Farnese's abuse?
"Go ahead, then! I know you never thought of me romantically anyway! Vlad is who I really want! He's the one that I fantasise on marking with scars! He's the one I think about when I f-"
"Shush." You've heard enough. Pressing your finger on her lips, you hear several hums of a filterless Farnese expressing her true emotions of her own volition... sort of. You didn't need to hear all of that anyway. Her voice started to grow weaker as she finally started to rest once more.
Before losing consciousness, however, Farnese reaches over to your cheek and plants a kiss.
"Damn it..." She weeps at her own indecision and lack of self control, snuggling closer like a kid hopping on her father's back. Be it you or him, she really wants her men to suffer for her, even if unconsciously so.
Did she mean to kiss you, or Serpico?
Closing your eyes and taking comfort with her grip on you, you quickly follow suit and drift asleep with her. Looking back on when you would spend your father's money with wenches, the best part wasn't even about the sex, but the times where you could lay in bed with another woman with you, pretending you were cherished, even if you were just another client...
Even if circumstances are wrong, sleeping like this feels very nice...
Awoken by a few nudges on the following day, you notice Serpico silently separating you two to place a hot towel on Farnese's forehead. Handing you a mug of water to clear your throat.
"Feeling any different?" He asks.
"Same old, only difference is the runny nose I got from her."
"Figured you would get sick too... Nina's condition is pretty serious, if it spreads anywhere else, she dies, so it makes sense for her to be mindful of her disease, but if we let her drink all the medicine, what will be left for the others..." Serpico speaks as your mind wanders, still thinking about yesterday.
