[Giovanni turns on the device before setting it down on a raised surface before him and leans over it so that it shows just about only him in the picture and the open sky in what little background is available.]

Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

[He says this quietly as if musing more to himself than addressing the device and the people

[Altaïr had automatically reached a hand out to mute the feed but stops when the man's words sink in. Could there be another Assassin here? And if so who?]

Safety and Peace, Brother. [The greeting feels a bit weird on his tongue after not using it for a few centuries, but it's one every Assassin is taught and the other man should know it.]

Somehow I don't think this place will end up improving or providing much in the way of amusement. Now if how we arrived is any indication. [Someone's still sore about waking up in a freezer naked.]

[betrayedblade]

[Giovanni hesitates. It was Altaïr but something seemed...off about the way he was acting. Giovanni chalked it up to the other still getting used to him and dismissed the nagging feeling as best he could.]

Safety and peace, Fratello. [He nods slightly.]

A most unpleasant experience, yes. I am sorry you had to wake up in that drawer.

[livethecreed]

[Wait, how did you know that? He hasn't told anyone where he's woken up. Hell, other than the people in the room with him when he arrived you're the first person he's spoken to. So have a suspicious Assassin giving you a bit of a glare.]

How did you know where I woke up?

[betrayedblade]

[Giovanni eyes him through the device for a moment, suspicions completely back in place.]

I was there. [Only it wasn't you, was it.]

[livethecreed]

No you were not. Unless you can change into a giant blue beast? [Or you could be talking about a double...

A quick pang of anticipation goes through him at the thought. If the other Altaïr is here than perhaps he can work to have a better relationship with him. It's still a bit ridiculous that they can't manage to get along, at least in his head.]

This Altaïr, was he a bit of a... [how to describe him....] conceited asshole? [Might as well steal Maria's favorite insult for him. Thanks wifey!]

[betrayedblade]

[Giovanni blinks and takes a moment to compose a reply. Wary, aloof, quiet. Giovanni would have used any of those words to describe the young man he had met in the morgue. And maybe the man was a touch stubborn but Giovanni had found that most Assassins were, himself included.

He wasn't sure whether to find it awkward or amusing that this ...Altair... had described the other in such a manner.]

Well. Not precisely? But I have not known him for that long. [Nor the one before him either.]

Sorry this took so long, RL decided it didn't like me :(

[livethecreed]

He managed to not piss you off in the amount of time it took to get out of the morgue? Amazing. [Is his younger self actually learning some manners? He's so proud!

The slight sarcasm in his voice evens out when he continues.] I am glad to hear that he is okay though. I was worried.
