[In the cabin, Brock and Molotov have been having a heated argument. As heated as an argument can be when it's completely silent, anyway. Gesturing wildly, choking gestures in the air, and a lot of pointing.

Finally, Brock manages to get her to understand he wants her to check on his car. It's important to make sure the Charger is safe, that the garage is secure; if worst comes to worst, they can pile in as many people as they can and make a quick getaway. Once she storms off to do as he asks (he's pretty sure she's going to scratch the paint deliberately but that's okay), Brock snaps open the journal and writes.]


[Like everything else lately, the following is written. Printed, actually; he's trying to make this as legible as possible so it can reach even little kids or people who aren't too literate.]

There's the sound of... something... for about a half minute, sounds of violence. Blows landing, furniture being broken.

[Ezio shifts her over onto the bed and stays with her a moment longer, cradling her to his chest. He lifts a hand to brush her hair out of her face more.

Looking up at his face, her own still smeared in blood, Molotov touches Ezio's cheek, trying to let him know that she's okay for him to go take care of business.]

[He lingers just a touch longer, long enough to get her point. Then, as he gently pulls away, he presses a quick chaste kiss to her forehead. Poor Molotov.

And then he steps out to handle the buzzards.]

[She rolls on her side to watch him leave, one arm tiredly snaking under the pillow.
