Assassin's Creed

[The Painted Lady]

Violetta didn't seem too thrilled at their method of making it over to the other side. Her shoulder already ached fiercely enough without straining it any more. And so, despite the pride that flared up when he took her by the waist, Violetta did not protest when Liborio picked her up to help her across. She did her best not to stumble as her feet touched down once more, not wanting to bring him down on top of her. She rolled her eyes though as he released her and moved between her and the other man, not able to understand what they could possibly be at odds over.
"Where to now?" she asked impatiently.

At the sound of the door opening, Isabella turned around immediately, dagger in her hand in almost instantly.
"Who goes there?" she called out, giving her voice an aggressive tone.

Vittorio eyed the Templar with hatred, then turned back to the street below. He smirked and gestured to the ground. 'There's a side access door into the bordello, bellissimo signora. Follow me.' With that, he fell backwards off the roof, right into a bale of hay. He sifted through it till he got out and brushed his robes off, looking up at Violetta. Nodding to her to signal that it's fine, he turned and sunk back into the shadows, watching for any guards that might come approaching.

Cristiana panicked at the sound of the harsh voice that spoke when she had walked into the house. She heard the door behind her close and she jumped, " Per favore!" she begged " I did not know!" she soon saw who it was. She was confused but the relief on her face was grateful. "Signoria Isabella!?" Cristiana smiled at the well dressed woman and pulled the hood off her head before pulling her ragged dress out to circusy to the blonde lady.

Liborio hung back at first, but when he saw that the assassin wanted her to jump off the roof into a hay bale, he stepped forward.
"I can distract the guards and allow you a slower descent, madonna... that would be better for your wounds."

[The Painted Lady]

Violetta edged toward the ledge, weighing up her options. After a moment, she looked to Liborio, shaking her head.
"I can hack it," she smirked. "I'll just ensure not to land on my shoulder. Our little friend just better help me out once I am down there."
She closed the gap between them, placing a teasing kiss on the tip of his nose.
"Ci vediamo, amante. I'll wait."
With that, she dove into the hay below.

Isabella's demeanor relaxed immediately at the sound of that voice. The dagger disappeared and her expression turned into one of relief.
"Cristiana, oh grazie a dio."
She covered the space between them, embracing the woman tightly.
"I was so worried."

[Elario Luminus]

Vittorio reached into the hay and gently pulled Violetta out, carefully making sure she stayed in the shadows and out of sight of the ever-vigilant guards. He went into a crouch and silently hushed Violetta. The Assassin unsheathed a hidden blade, one of the hollowed out ones for delivering poison. Looking around, he saw a particularly lazy patrol stop nearby to leer at a homeless person. Vittorio crept forward towards one of the guards while they were distracted.

As Vittorio neared the guards, he couldn't help but feel disgusted about their behaviour. Wanting nothing more than to cut them down, he quickly scratched one of the patrolmen, a loud one in comparison to the others. As he slowly retreated, Vittorio smirked while the now poisoned guard sunk slowly into madness. His antics drew a large crowd, which Vittorio used to get Violetta and dash into the bordello unseen and unheard.

Cristiana was so happy to see Isabella. She didnt delay wrapping her own arms around the lady. "You really shouldn't be here Signoria" She whispered, looking around the house to make sure that she had really come here alone. "How did you hear about this?" Cristiana curiously asked as she let go of Isabella

Li watched as the girl jumped from the rooftop, eyes suspiciously flicking to the assassin. He would then disappear from the rooftop to find a safe way down. He wasn't leaving... even if he let her believe so. He wanted to see what this assassin wanted with her...

[The Painted Lady]

"Where's Liborio?" Violetta hissed as Vittorio dragged her back to the bordello. Her eyes searched for him for a moment, unable to see him on the rooftop any more after her jump. She huffed a sigh and turned her eyes back to her feet to ensure she didn't trip.

"You know I have my ways, Cristiana," Isabella replied non-descriptly.
"But why are you here? You know they could come back. They could take you like they took your papa..."

[Elario Luminus]

Vittorio didn't reply as he opened the back door into the bordello and ushered Violetta through, closing the door behind them. Without warning, he turned on the courtesan, making sure not to release his hidden blade.
'What are you doing with a Templar?' He demanded, drawing close to her face. The suspicion in his eyes betrayed his calm face, but if he found that if she were co-operating with the Assassins sworn enemies, he would be left without much of a choice.

" I was only to be here for a moment. " Cristiana said as she moved away from her friend and walked towards a damaged desk. She reached under the table and ripped at a piece off loose wood. "Papa is safe... A man helped me get him back" she trusted Isabella, she knew that she wouldn't tell anyone about what had happened. Cristiana pulled out a ring from the cavity in the desk, she smiled thankful it was still there

((Skip me this once))

[The Painted Lady]

Violetta lifted her chin, too proud to back away or shy from Vittorio's advance.
"Templar?"
She laughed defiantly.
"I wouldn't know what one was if it hit me in the face."

Isabella frowned.
"Wasn't he being held in carcere?" she asked.
"What kind of man got him back?"

[Elario Luminus]

Vittorio narrowed his eyes and retreated from Violetta.
'Very well; I believe you. If you need me, I'll be watching the outside.'
Without waiting for her to reply, he strode from the room, up the stairs and out onto a balcony that looked over the front of the bordello. He sighed as he leaned on the rail; it had been a busy couple of days, and now all he wanted was a good nights sleep with a good-looking girl.

[Yuna Braska]

Cristiana went to reply but paused for a moment before speaking. "Well.. i am not quite sure. But he was like a light in a dark tunnel. Without him i don't think my papa would be alive" She frowned however. "I am living with my brother, but it is so boring out there... I dont think I would be able to stay in his villa long" Cristiana wanted so badly for things to be back to normal. Her brother was kind but, he did abandon them.. like the others. " I dont like being notorious, It's...It's like.... my life is over" Cristiana slowly began to sob a little, wiping her tears with her bland dress sleeve.
