[ Lana is outside the fence surrounding the 'Forest of Death' while waiting for Arthur, because apparently all this fishnet has offended his delicate sensibilities, and Lana just doesn't care enough to go clothes shopping! She's already looked around town (it doesn't take long for her), so now she's just seeing if anything amazing happened on the journal and keeping an ear out for any danger. She's tempted to just break into the training grounds, but she might get lectured for that.

...And still weighing her options. In the mean time, at least, she'll dictate over the open journal in her lap. ]

Did anybody else expect something different when they heard 'ninja'?

[ ooc; Open to all over the journal or in person! ]

Well hey, it's not like I have 'combat super star' listed in my resume's career history. Maybe they're even better at acrobatics than you.

Also, you might want to learn their names. 'Servant girl' has a very bad ring to it.

[assassino]

I do know their names, I just did not want to say them because then you would have said "who?" if you did not know them! And what is wrong with "servant girl?" I forget her title, but that is what she does. She serves people cheesecake.

[luthored]

She serves people cheesecake?

[ Getting into the differences of social norms with Ezio is sometimes trying. She doesn't always have the patience for it, especially these days, but urgh she tries, because she knows he does, too. In his own...way. ]

I hope she serves more or that would get redundant. Does she serve it at their house, or at a restaurant?

[assassino]

Yes, she works at a cheesecake factory, which is also a restaurant.

[He tries... but then again, just about everything is a social norm confusion, for him.]

[luthored]

Oh, The Cheesecake Factory? Yeah, a waitress isn't exactly the same as a servant girl.

[ A beat. ]

Okay granted, sometimes it felt hard to see the difference, but those were just bad days.

[assassino]

[He chuckles]

Well, no matter, they are not prepared to keep up with me.

[luthored]

[ He's probably right, but she's gotten used to being surprised by people, if that makes any sense at all. ]

Maybe. You're going to do missions?

[assassino]

I would have liked to do work rather than menial tasks, but I suppose I will need something to pass the time.

[luthored]

Helping is helping.

[assassino]

True, but not all work is worth my time for anything but to fill it.

[luthored]

What were your original plans for today?

[assassino]

I hear there is a film playing. I have never seen one in a theater.

WHY WHY WOULD YOU

[luthored]

I'll be honest and say I didn't even glance at the theater.

[ Not exactly the first thing she thinks about doing when she learns she's suddenly a ninja! Then again all she's doing now is sitting around... ]

But remember, it's more fun to go with someone else.

AHHHAHA

[assassino]

[He's already as close to a ninja as it gets in his time/place.

Amused and teasing:]

Should I invite someone, then?

[luthored]

Maybe. Because I'm incredibly busy sitting around watching grass grow.

[assassino]

Well, then, Lana –– will you do me the honour of being my "date" to this "movie?"

[luthored]

[ She wishes every guy asked like that! ]

Sure. When is the next showing?

[assassino]

I do not know, as I have never frequented these things!

[luthored]

Fine, I'll meet you there in a few minutes. I just need to let Arthur know where I'm going.

[assassino]

Of course.

Who is Arthur?

[luthored]

King Arthur Pendragon. You know your lore?

[assassino]

Ah, that one. I know the story vaguely... he is not so popular in Italia, we prefer Tristano e Isotta. I think you call them Tristam and Isolde? Tristano is one of Arthur's knights.

[luthored]

I've heard a few variations on those names, and the story.

[ And she would go into more, but if Arthur sees he might be all STOP TALKING ABOUT FALSE HISTORY so she'll save it for later.

So she's there! And you know, squinting at the movie title. Waitaminute. ]

[assassino]

[And he's there! Completely oblivious to the title.]

[luthored]

[ And sheee's just trying not to blush. ]

We might want to catch a different movie some...other time.
