#to be fair Noelle was 15 during this time asoifas;oifh

[sins-of-the-sea]

The Jewish Commune, Avignon, France, 1518

"Why did you do that to that boy?! He was nice!! He said my eyes were pretty and liked my smile!"

"First off, he's Christian! Christians never come to our part of the city with good intent! Second of all, he's clearly flirting with you! He's likely trying to stick things into parts of your body you'll never want stuck in to begin with!"

"Gross, Guy! You can't just assume the worst in anyone who looks at any of us! You chase away suitors for Maman, any pretty girl looking at Phoebus, and now you're chasing boys away from me too?! Why are YOU the only one allowed to have lovers?!"

"They're not real lovers, Noelle, they're meal tickets. You can't find real love in people like them."

"I want real love!!"

"Then arrange yourself at the matchmaker!"

"NO!!" Noelle starts pounding at Guy's chest. Ineffectively. "I don't want to be arranged with some stranger or someone I don't like just because we're 'compatible'! I want friends! I want love! Real love!"

Guy looks upon his sister, distraught at this reaction. "Noelle..."

"AND I'LL NEVER GET IT IF YOU INTERFERE WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE!!" She starts punching the shit out of him.

"OOFF!!"
