She admitted to having affections for me, but acknowledged that they will not come to pass. I did not kiss her or lead her astray, but I thought you should know in case she goes to you weeping.

[He's just leaving her a message, of course. So he doesn't get his ass kicked.]

[Here's a fairly chipper tone:]

There are conversations about expeditions... I wonder, curiously, why there is so much waiting involved. There is no need to amass supplies nor food when the castle gifts it so readily, no need to search for patrons to fund the expedition, so why do people not simply pack up a horse and depart? Even women and children could travel easily, like this.

People from the future are terribly pampered.

[Meanwhile, you can find Ezio in the garden, picking flowers for his lady.]

[But it implies most women aren't!]

So I have noticed. Would you travel, madonna?

[changethings]

[ This is true. ]

No. My son is here with me and I'm not about to take him with me or leave him behind, there isn't anyone here I trust to keep an eye out for him.

[assassino]

[Amused]

Very similar to why many women in my time do not travel!

[changethings]

It's a damn good reason in my opinion. [ Especially considering getting brought here means she can finally have him without Regina trying to ruin everything. ]

[assassino]

I agree. Mothers should not be divided from their small children.

[changethings]

[ Her tone drops, welp hello guilt how are you today? ] Yeah.

[assassino]

[He notices that.]

Have I said something to offend you, madam?

[changethings]

Emma. [ Stop being so polite, makes her feel weird. ]

It was nothing you said. [ And she WAS going to leave it at that, until: ] I still feel bad for giving up my son after he was born, it was the best for him I wasn't cut out to be a mother than. But... [ WHERE THE HELL DID THIS COME FROM? ]
