fourth.

[Ezio.]
[Written -- he doesn't feel like talking into a book while standing in the middle of City Royale, ok. Is this a prank or something, he's about to get mad...]

Did you get distracted by something? I am waiting where you directed, but I do not see you, nor do I see anything nearby that would be of interest. Where are we going?

[Amused.]

She's eyeing you.

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-13 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it does. You can tell by her posture, her attention. [A grin.] Can you not tell her intent by looking at her?
assassino: (content  ❧  because I'm no good)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-13 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Never mind, then, you will find out eventually.

[And there's the ~Gilded Lantern~, pretty and well-kept. Ezio holds open the door for Connor.]
assassino: (content  ❧ smiling at me)

[A sexy tavern.

Inside is just as dark as the sky outside, except instead of a setting sun to provide light, it's copious amounts of lanterns, their glass and cases tinted to cast a reddish glow around. There are a number of men inside, and twice as many women –– some talking to men, others lounging in chairs, others still waiting.

Ezio gives a nod or smile to a few women as he passes through to the front desk, where he greets the hostess warmly.]


Salute, Gabriella. Connor and I would like a private room, some beer and some company.

[Ezio shrugs as they are led down a hall to a room. Said room is lushly decorated, a sort of sitting room with a few couches and a daybed.

The lady leaves them there, mentioning that the girls will be along soon.]

Our company is just entertainment.

[He sits on the couch, beckoning Connor to follow and sit opposite, divided by a coffee table. Ezio picks up a pack of playing cards from underneath it.]

My brother and I used to come to places like this and drink and gamble. Play cards, too, and be entertained by the girls. Do you know how to play Primera?
assassino: (calm ❧ and time is running low)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-15 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
We'll have beer. You like beer, right?

[It's even on the soundtrack. "Beer and Friends." Come on, kiddo. Ezio starts counting out four hands of cards –– it's a 40-card deck, unlike normal playing cards.]

Being good or not does not particularly matter. It is about having fun, hmm?
assassino: (calm ❧ never listen to gossip)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-15 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

No, it is about fun. I understand the drive to train and achieve, Connor. I have not spent sixteen years toiling away and storming across my corner of Europe just for a lark and to meet women. But if you never stop to smile and have some meaningless pleasure, you are going to be in trouble.
assassino: (action ❧ posting bail in her favourite d)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-15 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
And if it takes you sixteen years? Twenty? Thirty? Politics are not so easy that you can accomplish everything in a year... and even then, there will be others.

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-15 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
And what do you intend to do from Paradisa, exactly? And at home, will you sit by the fireside and stew at night instead of carousing with your allies? Devote every second to warfare? You know better than that, Connor.

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-15 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think I have?
assassino: (Default)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-15 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Only because I did research. Don't assume any of that just fell into my lap.
assassino: (calm ❧ dark skies are rising)

[personal profile] assassino 2013-08-17 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs and slides a pile of cards across the table towards Connor.]

Come now, Connor, I meant no offense. This is supposed to be time for fun, not serious matters... and even then, there are only one hundred and fifty or so residents here. The castle has hardly attempted to represent mankind as it truly is.
