You know, I don't remember the last time I had a really good night of sleep. It definitely wasn't when Abstergo had me because that was pretty fucking stressful and the thought of waking up to Warren Vidic looming over you almost makes you want to never sleep again.

[A pause and he sighs, rubbing a hand across his face and for a man who got a

[ Leonardo's painfully chipper smile comes through clear on the video camera. ]

Salute, Desmond! You are most welcome for the breakfast, my dear boy! I do not have, or did not have, much time to cook for myself before this little holiday~ But I do actually enjoy it quite a bit. That was a recipe I learned from my apprenticeship days back in Firenze.

[ ...rambling on for a minute about running around collecting wild leeks by some obscure Italian stream... ]

But I digress, mi dispiace. I do apologize for waking you up early. I will be sure next time to come in the evening. Perhaps with a chocolatey desert? You do like chocolate don't you? [ Leonardo's grin now is conspiratorial ]

[A little taken aback at being called dear boy. Even his dad didn't say things like that.]

What little holi-- [pause] you mean finding yourself here don't you? The food was great though, really great. I haven't had anything like that in a long time.

[He nods through that ramble, typing something to himself on the computer at the same time. It may take him a moment or two to realise when the ramble ends because his head nods for a second or two.]

I'm not used to getting sleep so I'm trying to catch up on what I've missed but it's okay, you didn't know.

[Oh god...offer of food. Of sweet food. Yeah, like hell he's going to turn that down.]

You don't need to do that [but that is the quickest protest in the history of mankind right there] but that was be awesome. I'm really looking forward to it now.

[likesmadmen]

Good, then I'll be sure to make you something extra special, Desmond. Although I really do wish there were some wine on this island. A little liqueur goes a long way...

[ Leonardo gave one of his large friendly smiles and leaned forward, switching off the camera ]

[one_boywonder]

What kind of stuff you train for?

[loserassassin]

Being able to scale buildings, jump between buildings and jump from buildings. Probably other stuff so I can fight Templars.

[one_boywonder]

...Wow. Hey, I hope it's cool if I ask, but where the heck do you go for that? I've been needing a spot for jumps and swinging, and there's... nothing.

[loserassassin]

I don't know about swinging but scaling the building I live in and jumping down is pretty much just what I need to practice.

[mongreldog]

So you aren't dead yet? I thought that Italian woman was out for your blood.

[loserassassin]

What, the chick that called herself Hunter...Huntress? I haven't seen her around yet.

[mongreldog]

I think it was Huntress, yes. She seemed like she wasn't going to rest until she found you. Maybe she thinks you aren't worth it.

[loserassassin]

I am definitely worth it.

[isanovice]

[ Have a big eye staring at you disapprovingly through the screen, Desmond. He is not impressed to have found another person with the same face as him. Well,hopefully you aren't as much of an annoyance as Ezio. Oh Altair, if only you knew.

The mention of his name though, that has captured Desmond's ancestor's attention. He leans back, so that the camera can see more than just his eye and part of his nose, the tip of his hood now casting a shadow over his eyes as he regards the other. ]

Nightmare about me? How is this possible. [ You know, since Altair's never met you before, and all.

The mention of training catches his interest as well, and he tilts his head back a bit. ]

Perhaps you would like a sparring partner. We can speak further of th is 'nightmare'.

[ More of a suggestion, than a question. Watch out, Desmond.

He wants to see what this similarly faced person can do. And also perhaps get some answers out of the other. Since Ezio was useless about it. ]

[loserassassin]

[Oh shiiiiiiiit. The last person he wanted to see here. He is hoping you're the ever-so-slightly nicer person he saw towards the end of the memories. Y'know, the one who a few years down the line went running through Acre to fuck Maria in a haystack start the assassin line.

So yes. Blank stare. Mouth wide open and catching flies.]

Altaïr...it's...it's a really long story that you probably won't believe a word of.

[A story that's going to get him stabbed in the neck if he isn't careful.]

I guess we could meet and discuss it?

[He's pretty used to not having choices because obviously the entire universe conspires against him but that doesn't mean he's going to be happy about it. Or talking about having to see his ancestor banging some woman at the top of a tower. What a romantic guy.]

[isanovice]

[ Yeah. Nice try there, Desmond. This here is grade A Douchetaïr, and he certainly isn't against kicking your ass. Lucky for you he's still on this whole 'Don't kill innocents' shtick again. So, hope you can stay innocent. Like that will last!

He approves of the other's quick agreement though, and he nods. If Desmond hadn't agreed he would have just found him after all. And Desmond really didn't want that. ]

Name a place, and a time. We shall discuss things further.

[ Because if Altaïr is allowed to pick, it'll be the roof. And Desmond will be a sad assassin. As if he wasn't already. ]

[loserassassin]

[There have been many things in his life that Desmond hasn't looked forward to but this right here? This is top of the list, congratulations.

It takes him a while to think of a suitable place. Definitely not his room, he doesn't want another assassin knowing where he sleeps at night.]

What about the library? Or if you have any ideas you can tell me. As for time...it's not like I'm doing anything but not first thing in the morning? I'm not at my best then.

[Desmond will always be a sad assassin. Unless he's getting hugs from someone.]
