Assassin's Creed

[Yuna Braska]

Cristiana waited over her father, making sure he was comfortable after their rescuer left.
"He is not working for the borgia Peiro" she whispered as she pressed a wet cloth on her fathers wounds.
"You know nothing about the man! He could be leading those scum bags right to here... There was a reason i never returned to Roma Cristiana" Piero argued as he began emptying out a room for his sister to stay in for the meantime.
"Please lets just get some rest and talk about this later" Cristiana mumbled, begining to ignore her brother.

As Vittorio approached the city gates, he saw that the guard detail had been increased. Keeping his head in case it was him that they were after, the Assassin put his horse in the stables and walked towards a nearby notoriety poster...

...adorned with the image of his courtesan.
"What have you been up to, my rosa?"
Vittorio set off for the bordello he found her at immediately, to see if she was safe.

Li sat at the nearby table, his booted feet braced up on its top. He was whittling something casually, it looked like it was going to be a little rearing horse.
He looked up from his work when Violetta spoke, raising an eyebrow.
"It is about an hour till sunset," he explained for clarification. "I will walk you home... provided you feel up to it."
He dropped his feet back down onto the floor and set the little carving down on the table, the knife with which he had been whittling going back onto his belt.

"I am not at liberty to hang around," Fiora murmured.
She paused a moment, as if steeling herself, before swinging her legs around. She winced. As to be expected, the lactic acid built up from her escape had made her limbs stiff and sore, even after her rest. She stretched herself out despite it, but kept her shoulder very still. It wasn't going to be a pleasant walk home... Much less if those guards were still after her.
"I cannot believe I've slept the whole day away as it is," she continued to mutter under her breath, as if frustrated with herself. "Il Cigno D'oro is waiting for me."

[Elario Luminus]

Vittorio had reached the bordello with ease, as the guards weren't looking for him. Safely managing to perch on the railing of the highest balcony, he scanned the hustle and bustle of the crowd below, searching for any sign of the courtesan.

Li raised an eyebrow at his courtesan companion briefly, before he stood up, tugging his tunic to tidy it a little.
"Come on, bella, let's get you home before it gets dark."
He was a little suspicious of who it was she was needing to get home for, but he wasn't going to ask any questions.

[The Painted Lady]

Very carefully, Violetta removed her borrowed tunic, trying not to aggravate her shoulder.
"I'll be needing my clothes... Hopefully those men won't recognise me if they are still out there."

After a long awaited rest, Cristiana checked on her father before heading to find her brother. She tied up her blonde hair and went out the the front square of the villa. Her brother had done well with building his home, although it wasnt quite finished. She wished he hadnt gone through such a hard time last year, she wanted to visit him but he refused to see anyone. Perhaps Piero had maybe finally moved on.
" I sure hope you know what your doing" Piero said walking past his sister with a horse on hand, leading the beast to the stable house across the square.
" The villa looks great" Cristiana smiled, her brother laughed back shaking his head.
'Your avoiding the conversation Sorella" Peiro kissed his sister on the forehead. " Come on then, if your going to stay here, you are going to work as well."

Vittorio sighed and climbed down the walls of the bordello from the back, so as not to be seen by the general public. As he walked around the side of the greatly ornate building, he kept eyes out for his courtesan friend. The guards were relentless in their search for the girl; weapons drawn, they would poke into bales of hay and flowers, look into wells, and inspect people sitting on benches. The Assassin sighed. He was probably going to have to cause a distraction for the guards so the girl could get past easily. Looking around, Vittorio found a group of courtesans flirting with passers by and generally doing their job. He caught the eye of one and winked charmingly; she smiled back seductively with a 'come here' gesture with her finger.

As Vittorio approached, he recognised the girls. They were the four he found every time he was on a mission. He would pay them handsomely for their services in distraction and seduction of the guards. Many a treasure and life had been stolen with their help.
'What have you for us to do today, Vittorio? You need treasure taken? Or perhaps a life?'
He shook his head with a smile. 'Not today, I'm afraid. This time, I need a life saved. One of your girls, she's been compromised.' Recognition drifted quickly across the girls' faces as the Assassin spoke. 'I need you to distract at least the main body of the patrol when she arrives here. When I see her, I'll give you the signal.'
The cortesans nodded and moved to a position where the guards on patrol would almost always be able to see them; right in the middle of the courtyard. Meanwhile, Vittorio headed back up to his previous perch, eyes alert for both hostile activity from the Borgia pawns and any sign of his friend.

Lio quickly produced the lady's clothes, which he'd managed to get at least partially clean while she slept, and they were only slightly damp still.
He then fetched his cloak and pulled it on, making sure his sword was firmly at his hip before he extended his hand to her.
"Let's go, bella," he urged softly.

[The Painted Lady]

Violetta pulled her clothes on as quickly as possible, gingerly taking Liborio's offered hand.
"Is there access to the rooftops close by?" she asked, wincing as her shoulder ached from the change in blood pressure from standing.
"I would rather remain... non appariscente at this point..."

[Yuna Braska]

(skip me for one moment)

[Elario Luminus]

((Me as well.))

[Tifa Lockhart]

Li raised an eyebrow, looking slightly uneasy about the idea of traveling via the rooftops.
"There are guards up there too you know," he reasoned, but he seemed ready to give in anyway. Whatever the lady desired he was willing to accommodate. "You can probably get onto the rooftops from my veranda."

[The Painted Lady]

Violetta noted that Liborio was getting a little suspicious. She needed to pull his thoughts away from that.
"Think you can keep up with a poor, wounded brothel girl?" she teased with her mocking vulnerability.
"I promise I'll go easy on you..."
