Assassin Hideout | Action | Business As Usual

[alltenfingers]

[ Ezio and Desmond stand together, in the Hideout, with the Assassin symbol on the wall behind them. He casts a glance towards his desk, where the Apple of Eden is hidden, then nods once to his descendant. ]

Buongiorno, Assassini. Desmond and I have things we must speak with you all about. Tasks to assign. [ He looks to Desmond. He can recount

Comments

[Ezio just leans against the wall once he's done talking, and lets himself be open for questions, sure there will be plenty. It makes no sense to anyone who hasn't lived it, he supposes. A hell only he and Desmond understand. It is only fair for them to have questions, but having a name for the enemies they face is enough. Templar is just a word, after all.

So he waits, patiently, for any questions that might come.]

[ Kaylee makes her way over to Ezio, giving him a small wave when she's close. ]

Heya Ezio. I ... got a question for ya.

[alltenfingers]

Oh? [He reaches out to her, as he usually does in a good mood. He's not unhappy today, in fact he enjoys the thrill of this work, when it's not bothering him, so he takes her hand, kissing the back lightly.]

What is your question, cara?

[lilgreasemonkey]

Mmhmm. [ Some of that hesitance she had goes away. He's in a good mood and that equals progress toward getting her idea approved of. ]

Ya talked 'bout gatherin' information from that city. Well ... 's sort of like this city. Which means 's got tech. Even if the stuff don't work no more it's worth somethin' like all the things in the junkyard.

So I was thinkin' maybe [ she held his hand between her two ] ... I could go there too.

[alltenfingers]

[Ezio can see where she's going with this right off the bat, then shakes his head, drawing his hand away from her grasp to point to her as he speaks.] No. You are too valuable to the Brotherhood, and it is too dangerous.

[He begins to stride towards his desk them pauses, turning on his heel and gesturing to her.] On second thought, si, I will accompany you. I had no plans to go with anyone, I had considered going alone, but I will not send you out with anyone else.

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ She droops when he takes his hand away to point at her and she's already thinking of how else she can plead her case, or if that fails again see if he can get an assassin or two to at least bring back something, when he speaks again. Wait. What?? ]

Really? Ya will?! [ Forget that there's assassins around. They all know she's the bubbly one anyway. She rushes forward and hugs him tightly. ] Xie-xie Ezio! I promise I won't be any trouble. I'll do what ya say! When do ya wanna go? ... I need a bigger bag. [ It's like listening to a hummingbird on crack she's so excited she actually gets to go on a mission. She's always the one in, well the Desmond role. Staying behind to hold down the fort. ]

[alltenfingers]

[Ezio grunts as suddenly he's being hugged, and laughs faintly, patting her back lightly. So much trouble, but she's like family to him.] We can go today. Get your bag and return here, then we will leave.

[He's sure she gets bored just hanging around here all day, and it's about time she got to come out, and he doesn't trust anyone to protect her quite like he trusts himself. He's not going to send her with anyone. Maybe Desmond would have made the cut, but he's injured.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ She gives him an extra squeeze before finally releasing him. ] Shiny! I won't be long at all.

[ Hopefully no one's dumb enough to get in her way as she goes barreling past, her tool bag bouncing madly on her shoulder. Only a couple minutes for chatting, and a slight detour for food, slow her down. She's aiming for the nearest teleporter outside to get back to her apartment, get her larger bag packed properly and back before Ezio can even attempt to change his mind. ]

[alltenfingers]

[Ezio shakes his head at her and just heads for his desk to wait for her. She's so much trouble but the place would be so dull without her, and she really does remind him of Leonardo, and when she's being a pain, she reminds him of Claudia. That's the bit that makes him love her that bit more.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ It's amazing that she doesn't trip and faceplant with all her rushing around. On one teleporter, off the other, speeding to her apartment, making a bigger mess of it. By the time she's made it back she's actually got her large heavy duty bag strapped to her back with a few tools in it. Just a few things to help when salvaging parts. She's also changed into darker cargo pants, her boots, and a short jacket covering the same floral peasant top she was wearing earlier. Oops.

Her hair was even up in a messy bun ... which was made messier by her bursting back into the den, looking around for Ezio. ]

[alltenfingers]

[Ezio sees her run back in and he's sure that this was probably the worst idea he's ever had. He's in for a busy day, it seems. Getting to his feet, he heads over and gives her an amused expression before gesturing for her to follow him as he makes for the exit.]

Let's go, before I change my mind. [He laughs lightly, sure that this is going to be a wild day, and just heading for the teleporter into the next city.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ She actually pouts at him, but it's mostly for show. ] Ya said I could go with ya an' if ya change your mind I'll just go anyway. I'm all packed up now. [ She double checks the straps on it to make sure she can move freely enough without hanging on. She wants her hands freed up to get at all the stuff she hopes is out there. ]

[alltenfingers]

Fine, fine. [He realises then that he can't go via rooftops and has to stop himself from making a run for the nearest wall to climb, leading the way on the ground instead.] Do you... have any weapon training at all, amica?

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Her sheepish look is definitely 100% genuine. ] Well ... I tested every blade I made. [ But she was just sitting in either the den or her apartment and just activating it there, stabbing the air. ] Uh ... no. Never even fired a gun back home. I had three guys on me. Couldn't fire a shot back. River did it. She took the gun, glanced at 'em to see where they was at an' ... shot 'em like it was a game.

[ She's really hoping this doesn't mean he's turning them around and heading back to the den :C ]

[alltenfingers]

[Ezio gives her an absolutely amused look, shaking his head a little bit.]

You are going to have to learn how to use a blade properly, cara. I do not like leaving you here unarmed and alone. [He doesn't want to head home so he's just taking her on anyway, and it's not long before they're at the teleporter. He's sure they can only stay a little while, because he doesn't want either of them to get sick from the poisonous air, but they can at least have a bit of time to explore.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Amusement is good ... ish. ] A blade? Ya mean like a knife or ... [ She glances down at his hidden blade. That's definitely a blade. ] How am I gonna learn?

[ She can't deny that he has a point. A good one. Someone or something comes after her and she's in big trouble. Desmond bailed her out when the monsters went crazy in the streets but he only happened to be in the area and saw her.

She stands right by the teleporter, ready to go when he says. ]
