[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.

Hope you're ready for the boring.

Well, so long as you admit you'll miss it. That's something. I'd be really worried about you if you didn't miss it at all.
onlyanapple: (And then there's gorillas)

It's someone who needs their heads testing, more than likely.

There are a couple of people like that in the castle. I never get them.
onlyanapple: (Making a point with pizza)

Ezio

And miss out on some entertainment for me? I think not.

I don't get to watch people bitch at you.

Thank you! I do try.
onlyanapple: (Water off a duck's back)

Ezio

Well, I do have other things to do in my day other than make your life miserable, you're aware.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't find you a more... fulfilling member of the castle.
onlyanapple: (Tail)

Oh, so that's how you figure it, is is?
