Assassin's Creed

[Tifa Lockhart]

Liborio had made his way into the bordello the normal way while the Assassin was occupied with Violetta. He was having a casual conversation with the madam, but once her attention was diverted elsewhere, he'd slip upstairs to Violetta's room.

[The Painted Lady]

At the bordello, a young girl approached the man standing alone on the balcony. Her face gave away her age; pink lips and innocent eyes placing her at not much older than fifteen or sixteen, early in her profession, despite her body suggesting someone older.
"Is someone taking care of you, signore?" she asked in a sweet voice, smiling behind her fan.

Violetta looked up when she heard her door opened. Upon seeing Liborio, she returned to undressing herself, wanting to be free of her sweat and blood coated clothes.
"I suppose you're here to minacciare me for associating with people you dislike too, huh?"

Isabella pursed her lips, but decided not to pursue further for now. Cristiana seemed quite upset...
"There, there bella," she crooned softly, moving over to stroke her cheek tenderly.
"I hate to see you cry..."

Vittorio turned and looked over his shoulder at the young girl. At such an age, she was more cute and gorgeous than alluring and seductive, but as she got older, she'd easily grow into the former. He smiled when he saw her. 'No, ma'am. But I'm quite happy just to have your company, if you don't mind. Just be here and sit with me. That's all I ask.'
She was much too young for Vittorio's tastes. At the age of 31 himself, a girl at around half his age was way out of bounds.

Cristiana let Isabella comfort her, she had missed her friend. With this new situation there may be the chance that she might see her as often as she usual did. She wiped a few more tears and smiled strongly. " What am I going to do Signora?" she mumbled looking up to the beautiful lady in front of her, her hand gentle on her cheek.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Liborio did not speak at first. Instead he closed the door behind him, locking it securely, before crossing the room to pull shut the curtains.
"No," he replied then. "I just want to understand why you would associate with maiali like the assassini, they're dangerous and you could get yourself h-"
His eyes darted down to her injury then, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"Dio preservare la tua anima mortale," he muttered hastily. "What did they make you do?"

[The Painted Lady]

((I think you meant the latter actually Elario... xD))

The girl sat close beside Vittorio, reaching up to brush his hair behind his ear.
"You look troubled bello..." she said softly.
"Is there anything I can do to relieve your mind?"

"I know not, dearest one," Isabella said softly.
"But I do know you should stay safe, and you cannot be such here."
She kissed the woman lightly.
"Grab what you want, then go. They will surely be back to sack the house this afternoon."

Violetta's eyes were still defiant.
"Nothing," she hissed quietly.
"No one has made me do ANYTHING. Not you. Not assassini. Not..." she threw her belt to the floor, "templars. I still have my own will, despite either of you."

As the day was beginning to darken, two strangers to the city walked along the streets. The female hummed a small tune to herself, something her uncle had taught her long ago. She was watching the buildings and the guards as they moved about. This was good to know. A tall, thin man walked alongside the thief. He had left his mask back at the place they were calling home for now, and as such, Fala was able to see when the man cast a sideways glare to her.

"Honestly, do you have to continue with that old song? You're going to...."

To this, the blond just waved a hand at the man and gave a small laugh.

"Signore Doctor.... you worry too much..."

And with that, the doctor gave an annoyed sigh, and continued to follow as the woman made her way through the city, exploring for her next job, as she called them.

A few moments later, and they passed a building and as Fala looked about, she couldn't help but grin at the bordello. She slipped behind the good doctor, and gave him a small shove towards the entrance.

"I do believe you could use a night here to ease your nerves."

"I don't need to relax!"

The doctor froze and dug his heels into the ground trying to stop the thief from pushing him further.

"I'll even loan you the money."

She couldn't help but tease her good friend.

[Elario Luminus]

Vittorio shuddered slightly when the girl brushed his hair back. The backs of his ears had always been sensitive, and once discovered, they were a girls favourite plaything. He chuckled, trying to mask the shudder. "I'm afraid not, signora. I'd just like some time to think and have some pleasant company, if you don't mind."
'Not to mention you're way too young for me...'
The Assassin sighed and reached into one of his many pouches and retrieved a small double-sided coin. It was the only thing he had left from his family, and fiddling with it helped him think and be rid of his burdens. A childish thing to think, but it worked for him regardless.
"Have you ever had so many things happen at once that it reaches a tipping point?"

Cristiana's tears had dried up slightly, she placed the ring she got from the table on her left middle finger and smiled. She sighed at the thought of just hiding away, when Isabella lightly kissed her just beside her lips she could feel her comfort and care. She didnt want to disobey her, she was her.. friend.
She nodded agreeing to Isabella, like a maid taking orders before she lifted her bland coloured skirt to assess. Perhaps if she just brought home a few fabrics she could make herself some more clothing. She didnt think her brother would have any women dresses back at the villa. Crisitiana grabbed the hand of Isabella gently and held it with both of hers. "I wont be long Signorina, uno momento. " She let go to walk into a off-room to collect a few bundles of fabric and a sewing box that her father always used, it was only small. The colours were a pale blue and white. " I have a horse down the alley, If you tell me to go.. i will go. But know that i will come back to Roma, i made a promise to the man who saved my father" She spoke softly as she came back into the main room.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Liborio looked like his patience might quickly reach a boiling point if Violetta remained so abrasive. He was trying to approach the conversation as carefully as possible.
"Bella it is not my intention to make you do anything," he insisted. "I am just concerned for your sicurezza."

[The Painted Lady]

Violetta sighed. Whether she found his concern annoying or endearing was hard to tell. Concealing a wince, she removed her first layer of clothing.
"Have you always been this protective, il mio amante?" she asked, stepping closer to him, an eyebrow raised.

Isabella pursed her lips.
"... It's really not safe for you here, bella," she said quietly.
"I would feel much more at ease if you were as far away and safe as possible. I will do my best to keep the guards away, but please, vi prego, do not tempt fate."

The young courtesan's eyes registered confusion.
"I'm not sure I understand what you mean, signore..." she said, leaning in to kiss the robed-man's neck.

[theladyraven]

After a few moments of teasing the doctor, the thief laughed and let up on the man.
"You really do need to relax..."
The doctor gave a deep sigh and turned quickly on his heel, starting to head back the way they came.
"Signora, we've already walked by where I can set up tomorrow morning, so I'm going to rest. Stay out of trouble..."
Fala grinned as her friend retreated back down towards where they were staying. So perhaps then it was time for her to take a look around the city from her point of view. 'No one will mind if I stay in the shadows and stay on a rooftop for a moment or two'. And with that, the woman slipped to an alley besides the bordello and slipped the hood up of her robe. She took off, and easily started climbing up the side of a neighboring building. With the darkness, it would be easy to stay in the shadows and do what she wanted.

[Elario Luminus]

Vittorio shivered slightly and hung his head when the girl leaned in and kissed his neck. He lifted his head to say something to the courtesan when he saw a familiar shape go into a nearby alleyway and frowned. He stood to full height and stepped away from the young girl.
"Forgive me, signora, but I have someone to see. I bid you good night."
The Assassin climbed up onto the balcony rail and sprinted along it and vaulted up onto the roof, where he promptly leaped onto the roof where the person he was looking for would end up. He rolled with ease when he landed, absorbing the impact, and got to his feet. Vittorio steadily walked over to the edge of the rooftop that was part of the alleyway and sat on a nearby short chimney, folding his arms as he waited.

Cristiana smiled and walked up to Isabella. " I should be fine my signorina" she lifted her free hand to gently stroke the beautiful woman's chin, her skin was soft. Cristiana faulted though when she thought she was intruding in on the lady's personal space. " Mi Spiace..." she apologized. " I should go now " she turned to leave.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Liborio looked a little uneasy about her question for some reason.
"Maybe I have," he replied simply. "I like to care for the people I value. The world is a pericoloso place."
