[A teenage boy's voice comes over the journal, softspoken and polite.]

I am looking for a name.

I wonder if anyone here is familiar with the history of the places the British call New York and Boston. The name I am looking for belongs to a man who is alive in 1770. He may be associated with any of the following men: William Johnson, John Pitcairn, Thomas Hickey, Benjamin Church, and Haytham Kenway. I also wonder if anyone knows these names.

I am looking through the library here, but it is very large, and I am not making much progress.

[And... like he said, Connor can be found at a desk in the library with a huge stack of books next to him. He's trying not to read them very thoroughly, because knowing too much of the future of his home is probably not something he should mess around with. That may be why he's not really finding the name he seeks -- or the castle could be forcing his eyes to pass over the name every time.]

I'm curious about that, too. Maybe the adventure is figuring it out? [Stephanie Brown, master of planning ahead.]

[eaglet]

Perhaps so.

[secondchances]

I can meet you in the lobby.

[Clears throat.]

And I guess if any other people want to join us, they may.

[eaglet]

[YEAH... other people........]

I will be there shortly. I must return these books to where they belong first.

[Which doesn't take that long; he's down in the lobby in a few minutes.]

[secondchances]

No rush, I'm coming from the city.

[So you'll be waiting a bit, Connor. Whoops.]

[assassino]

I will be down shortly; I am busy with a lady friend right now.

[eaglet]

[Sobs, stands in the lobby alone...]

Which friend? [Is it someone he knows?]

[secondchances]

[Steph and Ezio meet elsewhere and ditch Connor lol what a loser!! jk]

Don't ask, Connor. You don't wanna know.

[eaglet]

[wow so rude!!]

Why not? If Ezio has allies, I should think I will also meet them.

[secondchances]

[Precious baby...]

I always like to be a little cautious when I hear "busy" and "lady friend" in the same sentence.

[eaglet]

[??????????

?]

Why?

[secondchances]

[Crashes her bike so she doesn't have to explain... sob.]

Just trust me, Connor. Especially when it comes to Ezio.

[assassino]

[You can hear his grin in his voice.]

Stephanie is frightened of my lady friends. She gets all flustered.

[eaglet]

[.............. oh. Now he gets it.]

I see...

[secondchances]

Not even, Ezio. I just think Connor and I are alike in not... wanting to know.

[eaglet]

Yes, that seems... personal.

[secondchances]

[This is a good time for Steph to show up in the lobby. Ezio can overhear her approaching Connor.]

Not to mention gross. Shh.

[assassino]

I only mentioned her existence, and yet you react with such disdain!

[But it's hard to overhear when you're closing the journal and going down on a girl B)]

[eaglet]

[Gross???????? Connor waits a second to see if there's more to that, but Ezio seems to be... done with the conversation? Huh. He turns to Stephanie with a shrug.]

[secondchances]

Please don't take after him.

[eaglet]

We are not related, so I do not think I will.

[secondchances]

I cry tears of joy about that every night.

[eaglet]

Do you know anything about Ezio's family? We are told he was born into a long line of Assassins, and it seems this is correct. But my Mentor has also said that Ezio's sister may have been in the Order as well.

[secondchances]

Claudia was here for a while, but she wasn't in the Order at that time, I don't think. It might happen later.

Did he ever tell you about the rest of his [dead] family? Or... your Mentor, I guess?

[eaglet]

[He nods, slowly.] There is not much known about Ezio's family, but my Mentor said his father and brother were hanged, before Ezio could be inducted into the Order. And this is what starts him on his path to revenge.

Ezio has only mentioned his family briefly. I did not think it would be right to question him.
