Second target ❖video
[There's a grunt, muffled as much as can be and the thwump of a body clad in robes joined by the metallic rattle of weapons as Ezio rolls to take the impact out of the fall following her jump. It is hard to ignore any sort of pull to home and while Rome is not a true home, she has been settled there, working and training and striking at her

[She came from a place where people were murdered daily. The only time any sort of questions were asked was when it was a soldier or related that had been killed.]
I believe some people lived in the arena, but the bedrooms are far enough away, from what I recall. There shouldn't be any objections, people have already discussed sparring in the past. [A slight tilt of her head.] I would not advise the utensils for weapons, however.

[Assassins to those who have not seen them with their own eyes most likely do not exist. Stories of guards who imbibed a little too much wine before they took up their posts or whatever else.]
They lived here? I suppose it is not too strange - even in the crumbling ruins of Roma, people lived there. [Because they had no home after the Borgia destroyed their lives but still, they had shelter at the very least.] I...I will bear that in mind. Even if the butcher knife is a very popular weapon for the gangs of thieves in Italia.

[And that was why many people had become soldiers in the first place - or they looked for the supposed safety of the ranks.]
There are bedrooms, deeper in the structure. Most of the central buildings have living quarters.

[It's how her recruits came to her after all; men and women in the streets, taking on Borgia foot soldiers.]
I may need to investigate this.

[She had lived as part of a resistance force, but things move slowly, carefully. Large attacks were quashed too easily.]
I'm sure a spited wife would wield one much better than I could attempt.

[Rome...Rome was awful. The Bonfire of the Vanities, also awful. But she is sure the men who created such things could have done even more to extract more suffering from the people.]
It is the same for me.
[Although, in trying times, she is very handy with a street sweeper's broom.]

[A tilt of her head, amused.]
I believe there is a girl offering cookery lessons, if you had an interest in redeeming that.
Reply
[She gives an amused snort of laughter.]
I may yet do that, if she will teach me how to use some of the appliances.

[It was all many of the people she'd known had, and it was what they'd lived by.]
Most of the people here are very helpful. I'm sure she'd be happy to.
