You know, it doesn’t surprise me to hear you say that was in the original script, because that point in the novel has Lomeli(Lawrence) kneel right after Benítez chooses his name! It’s such a fucking cute scene otherwise, too:
[Lomeli] was aware that the cardinals had started clapping again, in approval of the name. He knelt before the new Holy Father. Smiling in alarm, Benítez raised himself out of his seat, leaned across the desk and tugged at Lomeli’s mozzetta, indicating that he should get back on his feet. “It should be you in this place,” he whispered. “I voted for you in every ballot and I shall need your advice. I would like you to continue as Dean of the College.”
They start whispering to each other like kids. They’re so goofy. I just can’t; auuugh, precious 😭
I added a second chapter to this fic this afternoon, so there’s more waiting for you above. Thank you for continuing to chatter. It’s fun 💙
