[ According to rumor, something was off about one of the brothels in Dismas. ]
[ You know, the kind of something that wasn't top clothing and undergarments. Or, not entirely that, at least. ]

I'll...leave my Forge on if you need to contact me before you get here. Be careful.

[Sound of an engine cutting.]
How's the girl?

Well, she won't let me look at it, but I can understand that.
[ A pause. Inaudible murmuring away from the Forge, conversation exchanged. ]
...I'm glad you're coming.
[ Another woman really might make all the difference here. You know, one that's living and breathing and warm and able to console. Because corpses can't, and Kunsel's not what this surviving girl really wants to cling to at the moment. Guy with a sword strapped to his back n' all...can you blame her? ]
I think she's glad, too.

Disease infested. No thank you. I wouldn't venture into one of those places if paid five years worth in wages.

[ No, it's just like you to say something like that. But it's not how you really feel, right? Right?! ]
...Just shut up and get over here, will you?!

{Not in their little farms, anyway. Out in the streets, sure.}
{Today's an exception.}
{... ah, hell. Why not. Might be fulfilling to take in the fruits of one's labour, yeah? Mmm.}
Fine. I'll be by soon.

I...knew you wouldn't let me down.

is a bordello ever dark? the hostess is dead, clearly, sprinted stairs, following the sounds of distress (what if he comes back?)-- of all the times to be armed with just his bracer.
it's grotesque, even for him. One word-- ]
Merda.

[ Yeah, it definitely grabs Kunsel's attention, and he looks up from where he's sitting with the young women in the middle of the room. Far away from any of the messes, the smell, the things that have recently been sat upon by the women lying brutally rent upstairs. As far away from the smell as they can get without being on the doorstep or outside. ]
[ The young woman stiffens at Ezio's entrance, but says nothing. Like an animal struck by uncertainty. Poor girl's probably way too overwhelmed... Not that he isn't himself, either. ]
[ He pushes himself up to his feet and stands between her and Ezio, gazing at the man. ]
...You're not a medic, are you?
[ Bet you don't have a Remedy in your pocket, either, huh? Boy, could I ever use one right now... ]

Correct. Give her this for now, it will dull the pain, but keep her attentive. This is not a place for either of you to linger.
[ It's spoken with the authority of a man used to-- or at least capable of dealing with human disaster. ]

Uh, thanks.
[ Do you not see the sword on my back? I can handle myself. ]
But, tell me something...why should I administer anything you're giving her if you're not a medic? There's...well, Lilly's on the way.
[ The girl was happy about that, too. Looking at her now, she looked severely doubtful about the vial now in Kunsel's hand. ]
[ He looks down at it, a frown touching his lips. Back to Ezio, mouth setting in a firm line, eyes slightly narrowed, albeit not visible beneath the visor of his helmet. ]
I gotta ask, uh...who are you?

Kunsel? You okay? Is she okay? Need some help? What can I do?

[ But the others? Zack, he doesn't want you to see that, not after everything. This is...well, his domain. These were people he was close to. People that helped him out a bit, helped Priscilla, were...kind. ]
And I'm okay.
[ Not really, but he will be. He's just gotta focus, keep it professional, not think about the attachments he had here, the way they looked, mouths agape, ribbons of entrails spilling out, hanging from the... ]
[ He chokes and then bites his tongue, the insides of his cheek. ]
...I-I'm okay. Promise.

I can be there in ten minutes, you know.

Can you...would you be willing to check the other brothels for me? [ He's sure they're okay, but you never know, right? ] I'll come and meet you after.
...But keep your Forge with you at all times. No exceptions.

...Be careful, then. I mean, it's hard to say if the culprit's still around.
