[Ezio has been hiding himself away for a variety of reasons.

Perhaps it's because his schedule has been thrown. There are no more late mornings with Lana, pressed up against her despite the warmth and cajoling her to stay just a little bit longer, just five more minutes. There are no more late lunches, no more dinners snuck in between sittings at the restaurant. No more riding out to the fields to picnic and joke and carouse, no more wine in pretty baskets, no more flowers just-because, or any of the other hallmarks of a man starting to get really invested in a woman.

That is because there is no more Lana. She's gone, as if the castle had forgotten how much she was loved –– even with Wesley and Fred and all of those others passing on from this world, Ezio liked to think that he enjoyed Lana enough for her to always matter to the castle.

She'd always been so bothered by the fact that they'd someday leave and forget each other, but she'd always acted like she would be the one to remember while he drifted away. And now here he is, the one left waiting.

But there are only so many weeks he could hide out in Stephanie and Cassandra's apartment, thinly "tolerating" Tim's presence and straddling the line between being heartbroken and maintaining a stoic manliness. With the babies everywhere, it is somewhat easier –– distractions, and all –– but he still needs to get out. There are only so many ways you can stave off loneliness.

So here he is, tentatively dipping his feet back in the world of women. Has it really been six months since he seriously chased another skirt?]


---- Horny Ladies, 18+ ----

[And there's that thick Italian accent, suave as always, but maybe a bit stiffer than he'd usually be.]

Salute.

I'd be much obliged to take you out for dinner and drinks, for whatever pleases you –– whether it is to spirit you away from a nagging infant for an evening, or merely amuse you for a few hours. If you are bold enough to ask, then I am bold enough to satisfy!

[And then there's Ezio, whiling away some time in the garden. He's got a thick leather glove on one hand and a colourful eagle-like bird perched at his wrist; that bird is currently wearing a hood, patiently waiting in darkness for Ezio to unhood him for some time in flight.

Come bother a dude and his bird.]

[It feels weird, living somewhere without Stephanie after spending every day with her for so long. With her and Tim off doing... whatever they've been doing with their baby, Cass has been a little sulky. Having Ezio around has been good though, it's kept her from really getting lonely and she knows Stephanie would be glad there's still someone keeping an eye on him.

When she finds the apartment empty, there's no reason to stay in it by herself so why not go walking? She knows there's a garden somewhere, but finding Ezio in it is a surprise. Not a bad one though, which is why she's smiling when she heads over to him.]


Hi. Seems like... weeks, since last saw you.

[Which is a very funny joke to Cass, considering she's seen quite a lot of him recently, but she's still figuring out the whole humor thing.]
hellofist: (yes happy)

[personal profile] hellofist 2013-05-23 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Better get close, then. Since you... missed me so much, Bellissimo.

[Keeping a close eye on the bird on his arm, Cass closes the rest of the distance between them so she can put her own arm around him.]

Nice bird.
hellofist: (can smile)

[personal profile] hellofist 2013-05-23 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles and hugs him back, leaving both arms around him even after she loosens her grip and looks back to the bird.]

Of course. [She'd expect nothing less from you Ezio.] Has he learned to, yet?

Wanna see something vaguely disturbing but super cute?

[Someone's run off with the baby! No, not really, but someone is definitely disregarding Tim's grumpiness. Steph has a little blonde haired, blue eyed bundle in her arms. It was something she definitely wanted Cass to see, but Ezio would probably want to see, too. Maybe. She's not really sure how to feel about this castle baby, but babies are pretty cute and might cheer him up a bit.]

Don't let your pigeon eat him, though.

[This is what she gets for dating a guy who gets sucked into Science Land for weeks at a time]

...Wow, this is so desperate it's actually a little bit sad.

Probably a good thing, for the woman. Talons would hurt.

A perfectly chubby and happy baby. His name is Jack.

And I only say disturbing because suddenly having a child for a week is freakin' disturbing.
hellofist: (you think?)

[personal profile] hellofist 2013-05-23 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hope you... feed well, then.

[She reaches out, intending to pet Ezio's bird.]

Poor bird, has to... carry heavy people.

Call it boredom.

You know, there are taverns for this sort of thing.
hellofist: (you sure?)

He looks strong.

[Because why not humor him and compliment something that can't even understand talking? She's gentle, hand stroking down the bird's back carefully. She's never actually petted something with feathers before, this is kind of awesome. The hood is still kind of strange though.]

Has hat. Why?

Oh really? The sort that comes with a happy ending too, by the looks.
secondchances: (COMFORT)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-23 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Here.

[She shifts Jack in her arms to hand him over, without any hesitation. Tim would be flipping the fuck out right now, but Steph's not worried.]
hellofist: (think think)

Why come back, then? Why not... never come back, just be free?
