[...

fasjhgafsgjhfas oh my god caterina no DAMMIT DON'T MAKE HIM USE THE DOOR DOORS ARE FOR NORMAL PEOPLE BT HE IS NOT A NORMAL PERSON HE HATES CLIMBING STAIRS AND YOU'RE ON THE SIXTH FLOOR.]

È vero, you probably should.

[WELL HE'S ALREADY FORMULATING PLAN B, FUCK YOU CONTESSA HE WILL FIND ANOTHER WAY IN THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE STAIRS.]

[canmakemore]

[CATERINA: ONE, EZIO: ZERO.

is she actually keeping track? she'll never tell]

It'd be a shame to have to close it, though, it's such a nice day outside.

[sicarius]

Especially considering everything is in bloom, si?

[You are so cruel to him, this is why he loves knowing you Caterina.]

And some visitors may not always be as troublesome as you may think.

[canmakemore]

But if someone is accusing me of stealing...

[sicarius]

Not all will. And some can still be swayed. Even if they don't want to listen.

[canmakemore]

I suppose I'll have to put my diplomacy skills to the test.

[sicarius]

The question becomes how well you will talk, bella.

[canmakemore]

I've been told I'm very good at it.

[sicarius]

Veramente. We shall see.

[AND OH LOOK THERE MAY JUST BE AN ITALIAN SITTING ON YOUR WINDOWSILL how did he even get there.]

[canmakemore]

[Oh look how did he get there goodness gracious. Too bad the window's locked.

She smiles and waves at him. Hellooooo, Ezio.]

[sicarius]

[Oh cazzo. She's doing this on purpose fghfdsgfadjkfsghad He can't even slide his blade under the window pane, she's sealed it tight.

So that just causes him to smirk, a hand tapping on the glass and head tilting rather innocently.]

Aprire, Caterina.

[He knows she won't. That would be too easy. But he doesn't mind humoring her if that means he can lead her on how he wants to. B)]

[canmakemore]

[Feigning innocence, Caterina blinks and pretends not to understand what Ezio wants. Instead she remains seated and tilts her head as if confused as to why Ezio can't enter.]

[sicarius]

[And he just pauses, letting a smirk form from the corner of his mouth. Oh, she wants to play, he'll give her a good run for it.

He feigns a moment of looking as if he's in thought, and then motions downwards with his hands.

'Do you want me to use the normal way?'

He's giving you the option to tell him to use the stairs, Caterina. Not like he'll actually listen, but. He's a gentleman. When he wants to be.]

[canmakemore]

[She shrugs, holding her hands out as she does so. It looks like that's the only way available right now, Ezio.

After all, the window's stuck.]

[sicarius]

Va bene.

[And he drops out of sight, grabbing onto the edge of the windowsill before finally getting out of view entirely.

Being the maestro he is, Ezio moves quickly- already making his way past the line of sight from Caterina's window and finding another window that isn't locked. Even better, it's empty, so he slides right in and closes the window once he does so.

But he doesn't come out of the room just yet. No, let's wait to see what Caterina does first. Then he'll make a move.]

[canmakemore]

[The first thing she does... is unlock the window. Then she goes to her door, opens it, and leans against the door frame, waiting for Ezio. She doesn't know if he'll actually use the stairs, but since he probably isn't coming in through her window, it's likely he'll be entering through the hall.]

[sicarius]

[In most cases? Yes.

But here, he's managed to go to the nearest widow, which happens to be Hope's.

Which connects to a bathroom.

Which happens to connect to Caterina's room.

Molto bene. B)

So Ezio quietly makes his way through the boy's room, careful not to disturb anything in the process, and waits in the bathroom, feet silent as he moves forward. After a quick glance out, he notices she's currently by the door, but he's not going to say anything- not yet.

Not until he creeps up behind her and can only grin with her back to him.]

Are you waiting for someone, bella?

[canmakemore]

[It would be nice to say that Caterina coolly turned and grinned at Ezio, but unfortunately for her pride she flinched when Ezio's voice came from behind her and not in front of her like she was expecting.

Damn. Of course, the two rooms were connected by the bathroom... she should have thought of that.

Anyway. She'll do that turn and eyebrow raise.]

It seems my fortifications were lacking.

[sicarius]

Well then, let's just hope your diplomacy can make up for it.

[LEANING RIGHT INTO YOUR SPACE AGAIN oh hello Caterina.]

[canmakemore]

[Oh hello Ezio. Caterina doesn't budge, she just smiles.]

Let's hope so.

So then. I don't recall stealing anything from you.

[sicarius]

[And that just gets a smirk from him.]

Of course you wouldn't. Not willingly, at least.

[Whoops he might just be having his nose be a few centimeters from yours, bella.]

I'm sure we can coax it back out, however.

[canmakemore]

[Caterina doesn't move back or forward to meet him, she remains exactly where she is.]

Davvero? How?

[sicarius]

[CATERINAAAAAAA stop making this hard.]

Do you have to even ask?

[Sound a little familiar there?]

[canmakemore]

[Oh. Hmm. For a moment Caterina looks slightly concerned and she even leans away from Ezio.

But it only lasts a moment. Her smile returns.]

I already did, didn't I?

[sicarius]

[When she moves away, for a split second confusion crosses his face, and then, concern of his own takes over. Caterina doesn't show concern like that unless it's something important.

So even when her smile returns, his doesn't. Something doesn't sit right with him.

Ezio tilts his head for a moment, pulling back and looking at her with a question in his eyes, one that is said just as easily from him seconds later.]

Tutto bene?
