[So that kiss he gave her... B) How about that Italian swagger, Caterina~

Ezio hadn't noticed anything for the rest of the night while he watched over Ichigo, nor into the next morning when the boy awoke. No, everything had seemed fine, seemed normal.

That was, until he got home, and began to feel... odd. It wasn't anything bad, of course- but he was more than used to his powers being present, even on little sleep. Especially since, well, he'd experienced gaining a higher level. It was odd, he'd told himself to not rely on these powers given by the gods, and yet he was almost instantly able to tell when a part of them went missing.

So, he had to wonder where or how they they had gone- and after not that much time between deducting and recalling the houses and their powers, he knew exactly where. Which is exactly why this call is currently making its way to Caterina's bracelet.]

Bella, I believe you have something of mine.

[canmakemore]

[It takes her a moment to figure out what's going on with her bracelet wtf but then she "picks up," so to speak.]

Sí? And what might that be?

[sicarius]

[Oh look, it's another call from Ezio. But he sounds a bit more distracted than normal.]

Have you seen Ichigo recently?

[canmakemore]

[Hmm, she doesn't like that tone of voice.]

No, not lately. C'è qualcosa che non va?

voice.

[auditor]

[ a new day means claudia can do this without looking worse for wear and without her voice cracking. a new day means, though, it's still too fresh, and she worries of her appearance. which is why she chooses the audio function. a breath. ]

I assume you know Malik is missing. It seems Kadar is as well. [ pause. ] And Ezio.

[canmakemore]

Ho notato.

[She hesitates.]

I was thinking... about asking if anyone else had seen them, since... they are easily misplaced.

[lol assassins. but they can't escape everyone's notice forever.]

[sicarius]

Caterina. [There is a very amused tone behind this one's inquiry.] How would you like to play a game of paraninfo?

[canmakemore]

Paraninfo? [She repeats the word with amused surprise.] Davvero? What did you have in mind?

Voice

[canmakemore]

[A deep sigh.]

Bene, who has my... [everything] bracelet?

Voice

[sicarius]

[...fsahgjasfhjg hahahha oh my god, this is beautiful. He recognizes his own voice.]

Che è facile. That would be me. Ciao, Caterina.

Voice;

[suppressthedark]

[Guess who finally got the courage to go up and apologize? THAT'S RIGHT, THIS KID.

Well to be fair, at first he could barely move and then the sickness started and ughgfghgu-ANYWAY.]

Hey, Caterina.

I just...

[He pauses, trying to gather his thoughts. And while he's not mopey-Ezio had taken care of that-he still feels bad.]

...I wanted to apologize. For what he did.

So, I...I'm sorry. I know it's lame and it doesn't make up for the fact that he hurt you, but...

Yeah. Sorry.

[click. That was certainly eloquent.]

[canmakemore]

[She plays the message over a few times.

To be honest, she's a little pissed off about what happened. But she knows it's not Ichigo's fault. How could it be? Whatever that was, it certainly wasn't Ichigo.

So finally, a few hours later, she replies in text.]

You're forgiven.

However, if you are still moping about this two days from now, I am going to carve your eyeballs out of your head and feed them to a dog.

You are not to blame. Your friends have forgiven you.

Move on.

voice // Day 155 // Evening

[suppressthedark]

[He's not quite sure how he should go about explaining this, but she needs to know about what's happened to Ezio.]

Caterina, um-Something's happened to Ezio.

[YEAH END ON THAT OMINOUS NOTE ICHIGO GOOD FUCKING JOB]

voice // Day 155 // Evening

[canmakemore]

[Her voice is very, very serious.]

What happened.

voice;

[digophelia]

How long has Ezio been like this?

voice;

[canmakemore]

Most of the day. I don't know how long he was asleep before Ichigo found him, though.

voice;

[assassina]

Caterina, I'm setting up the shop for my birthday party tomorrow, and despite Ezio's birthday not being until the summer, he told me he never celebrated it here when it was. So we will be celebrating his too. I need your help with putting up decorations and getting everything ready while I take care of food preparation.

voice;

[canmakemore]

...we never celebrated it because the bastardo never told me it was his birthday.

Si, I would be glad to help in any way you need.

voice.

[sicarius]

Caterina. [A pause.] Have you encountered a man by the name of Haytham Kenway?

voice.

[canmakemore]

I have.

[His tone of voice and that pause and the fact that he's bringing this up at all suggests something is up, but she can't help but add...]

He's quite charming.

Why?

voice.

[sicarius]

[It's... a long silence. One you can almost mistake for being an accidental recording. There is nothing there. No sound to tell who it's from, other than the name attached to it.

Finally, after what seems like a long period of absolutely nothing, Ezio speaks. He sounds frustrated, but more than that, exhausted.]

...figlio di un cane. They are gone.

[Three guesses as to who he's referring to, and the first two don't count, Caterina.]

[canmakemore]

[And there's a silence in response for a moment as she understands what he's saying, what it means to him, to her, to the Brotherhood.]

Dannazione.

Who?

( t e x t )

[flintlocking]

Countess, I have a serious question.

[canmakemore]

Yes, what is it?

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE LINGERIE OUTING

[pushesgently]

[Altaïr is not accustomed to making gestures that show his appreciation to women who have done him an indirect favor, but some inquiries soon provide a suitable method.

Soon after, this lovely bouquet is delivered to Catarina's door, with only a name on the card.

He is pretty sure she'll understand his gratitude.]

[canmakemore]

[Oh that is beautiful. She picks it up and looks at the card and...

...bursts out laughing.

You're welcome, Altaïr. You're welcome.]

[ text || latest o'clock day 307 || misfire ]

[pratentious]

Don't think this will earn noʎ any favours. You'll have chores running out your nose when this is over.

[canmakemore]

Goodness. What have I done to earn such ire?

Day 308

[kuramaless]

Hey, Oi Sasuke--

Are y'there?

Man, this thing has been like stupid right? I think I accidentally touched that ice too much, my fingers still feel frozen.

We should go out for ramen, yeah? I'm gonna get Gaara to come too.

I'm coming over there now. I can see your house.

Er, yeah I'm here. You comin' down?

[canmakemore]

No, I am not.

Voice

[true_renaissance_man]

I know you are good at organizing and straightening things but how are you with bedrooms?

Voice

[canmakemore]

That depends entirely on what you wish done. If you are looking for a maid, I would suggest you look elsewhere.

backdated to... man idek but it's backdated.

[sicarius]

[...He's been staring at his bracelet for the past twenty minutes, unsure of what to do. Unsure of what to say. So much has happened in the past few weeks, he's not even sure where to start. Ezio is a man of many words and emotions, but of all the times he needs them, he cannot seem to find the right ones to say now. Of his choice to explore Thiazi's mansion, of the consequences that followed, of the curse they were given and how Caterina had to deal with his younger self for three days.

It's a mess, and he doesn't even know if he can say everything that needs to be said. But he has to try.

So, slowly, he picks out what he should say, and runs it through his head several times before pressing the record option-

And promptly forgets everything. Cazzo.

In the end, there is some silence, but it is very clear he's tormented, almost, about what he's done to her. And she has to know he's sorry for it.

Even if it means he's lost his chance with her in the process.]

Caterina. [He pauses, mouth moving into a thin line on his end before breathing out again and speaking.] I would like to see you, if it is possible.

[There. That... that's a start. He'll have to make it up as he goes.]

aha finally getting to this

[canmakemore]

[She knows what this is about.

At least, she knows what it should be about. If it turns out to not be about that she will be upset.

But everyone gets a chance. Everyone who deserves one, anyway.

So when she responds, it's softly, and without any vehemence.]

Va bene. You know where to find me.

[She's in the shop, of course.]
