----- Stephanie Brown -----

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.]

[chuckles. He has NO idea.]

That's something odd to like.

[assassino]

Is it? I have never thought of it as strange.

[not_like_the_rest]

What about my voice do you like then? [teasing~]

[assassino]

It sounds friendly. Inviting. You're a woman bold enough to speak her mind, ask for what she wants.

[not_like_the_rest]

Bold enough to take it too.

[assassino]

Yes, precisely.

[not_like_the_rest]

What type of man are you?

[assassino]

[laugh]

The kind that loves bold women.

[not_like_the_rest]

Love is a bold word.

[assassino]

I'm a bold man.

all good <3

[not_like_the_rest]

How bold?

[assassino]

Bolder than any other man here.

[not_like_the_rest]

Sounds like a man worth meeting.

[assassino]

I'd say so, as well.

[not_like_the_rest]

Where are you? Unless, you want to find me.

[assassino]

I'm in the gardens. Where are you?

[not_like_the_rest]

in the woods by the gardens.

[assassino]

So conveniently close, then. I will head in your direction.

[not_like_the_rest]

I made a trail. Just follow it~

[assassino]

[He chuckles... and goes to follow it :')]

[action?]

[not_like_the_rest]

(Johanna is in a small clearing she made, logs around the place. She's currently carving on some wood with a knife.)

action :')

[assassino]

[Ezio is there shortly, in his usual Renaissance attire; a long-sleeved shirt with a popped collar, a brocade laced vest, very fitted leather pants. He might look like he walked off the cover of a damn historical romance novel, if Johanna knew that those were.

He approaches with a grin, sidling right up.]

You must be Johanna.

perma action !

[not_like_the_rest]

(Johanna is in short shorts and a green tank top.
No, she has no idea what your tacky romance novels are, but she is used to the crazy fashions of the capital. She pretends to be surprised that you're there suddenly and smiles sweetly. She knew though.)

And you must be Ezio. How nice to meet you in person. (She looks him up, and mostly down at those tight pants, before nodding.)

[assassino]

[She's pretty, he thinks, though it's still strange to see women with such short hair and wearing so little in the way of clothes.]

The pleasure is all mine, signorina. You are even lovelier than I imagined.

[not_like_the_rest]

(Johanna will step back a little, both to give her room in case she needed to stab him and to show off her body in a very subtle way. She's not a slut, but she does have a lovely body thanks to the capital.)

I bet you say that to everyone. (Grinning playfully, picking up a large axe near by with ease.)
