[All things considered, Ezio has had a busy day, but now he's out and about. He's hit up a dozen or so stores in town, mostly for painting frames and books, and perhaps you've see him running errands.


Later, however, he will be sitting down at his desk to scrawl out:]


I seldom write in this journal. I think that is funny; for every boy who knows how to write, three sit without education, and here I squander my gifts and ignore books. My sister does more writing than I do, and her talent is a rarity amongst women!

It has been more than a year since I have arrived –– closer, still, to thirteen months -- and each day I learn new things about the future, history, science, and even the human body. I do not think many days have passed in the past four hundred that saw me sitting idle and failing to learn!

Yet still, when I spoke to a young woman the other week, she was hard-pressed to believe that I would return to my time, forsaking the knowledge and science and hygiene of the future. I prefer the conventions of my time, and my culture, and I have work to do. So, I wonder, then...

How many of you would go home with another, to their time instead of yours?

I'm going to miss plumbing. I think that is what you call it –– "plumbing." Even after all this time, sometimes it is fun to turn on the "tap" simply to marvel at its convenience. It is a wonder there is so much water about without the streets being flooded like the canals of Venezia.

And I have such good memories of the miracles of showers, with thanks to some of the beautiful women in this castle.

E. Auditore.

Boy, did I miss the casual homophobia of the fifteen century. It's cute.
onlyanapple: (Sushi)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-01-26 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay, I won't spoil the surprise for you. Someone who'll get more pissy than me about it will eventually speak up, I'm sure.
onlyanapple: (Always a bit sly)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-01-28 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Just saying, people get very touchy about this sort of thing.
onlyanapple: (Flat look)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-01-29 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm sure they-

[No. Wait. Hang on. New development here]

...You have a girlfriend now?
onlyanapple: (Flat look)

Ezio

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-01-30 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
...A little.

I never figured you for a one woman man.
onlyanapple: (Add to my misery)

Ezio

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-01-31 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...When you're ready to take a wife?

What happened to you, man? [He sounds genuinely distressed]
onlyanapple: (The damned book)

Ezio

[He sounds like a kid who's just been told their favourite dog got hit by a car]

Why not? It's a much more fun life.
onlyanapple: (Rain)

Ezio

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-02-01 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
...

You make me very sad, Ezio.
onlyanapple: (Bench)

Ezio

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-02-01 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I expected more mold-breaking from you. [SIGH SIGH SIGH]
onlyanapple: (Burny)

Ezio

Lots of little Ezios running around. Sounds wonderful. [So much sarcasm] There are other ways to make a legacy.
onlyanapple: (Have a light)

Ezio

[Sad sigh] It's just all so....domestic. [Why can't his friends live forever and never function as real adults like him]
onlyanapple: (And then there's gorillas)

Ezio

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-02-02 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Charming. What if she decides to run off and join the circus? Suddenly you're left with your little Ezios and well, then you'll have to try the domestic thing.

Or hire a maid, I suppose.
onlyanapple: (Tail)

Ezio

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2013-02-02 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
A dozen? Isn't that a little excessive?

Are you so certain? Given you haven't met her yet and thus know nothing about her.
