How have you been these past few days, dolcezza?



---- Horny Women who need... succor and comfort ;) ----

You have needs... perhaps I can be of service to you.

[Aaaand don't mind that filter stealth-edited to keep certain horned little girls out ARADIA.]

Ezio, you have asked me multiple times for advice, and you ignore it when I give you the advice. Sex is not a replacement for the passion you lost -- you lost your entire life's drive when you came here. Sex, in your case, is just a drug to numb the pain of having lost your direction. And instead of trying to find a new one, you just keep taking hits of the drug.

I do not need to have been a filthy trollop to understand what you are doing.

[assassino]

[Frown... the whole concept of addiction is radically different in his time.]

What is the problem with that, though? It makes me happy, but I just want to find something additional to do, not replace it.

I initially tried to answer this with Sofia... awkwaaaard...

[molotov]

But you turn down all of my suggestions for that too!

ironically sofia would solve ezio's problem. eventually, anyway

[assassino]

I'm helping with the vineyard, aren't I?

[molotov]

Helping? It was your idea! And you seem to hate it!

[assassino]

[cajoling]

I don't hate it! I just don't know how good I will be, that's all...

[molotov]

You are the one who just lectured me about perfection.

[assassino]

I don't want to be perfect, I just want to be acceptable. I know absolutely nothing about farming.

[molotov]

Neither do I. But we are lucky enough to currently live in a place where it is not even a gamble, because the only thing we can lose is time.

[assassino]

True...

[He shifts his weight awkwardly on those narrow footholds.]

We're doing it, regardless of our combined talents.

[molotov]

Da.

[She watches him shift, then rolls her eye and sighs heavily, moving out of the window.] For god's sake, come inside. You are going to fall and break your leg.

[assassino]

[He cracks a smile and pulls himself up entirely on his arms until he gets high enough to swing a leg over the windowsill.]

I'd just catch myself on a lower windowsill, no need to break anything. But thank you.

[molotov]

Of course. You did a wonderful job of catching yourself when you fell off the roof.

[assassino]

That was different. I did not expect to fall that time.

[molotov]

Do you often expect to fall, Ezio?

[assassino]

Quite often, actually. I'd sooner fall but have control than be completely surprised and unable to catch myself.

[molotov]

Were you expecting to fall from my window? You probably could have just knocked on the front door.

[assassino]

I was expecting to fall if you kept me hanging here without letting me in for longer than fifteen minutes.

[Grin.]

And I figured it would be easier to avoid Samson this way, if he were here and did not take kindly to me interrupting your time together.

[molotov]

I think he would be more suspicious of me talking to someone at the window than at the door! Do you want something to drink?

[assassino]

Yes, but I am practically an expert in window escapes.

[He nods, though.]

A drink would be wonderful.

[molotov]

[She just scoffs and then heads to get drinks from the kitchen.]
