[Giovanni doesn't seem to be paying attention to the device when it first comes on. It can be noted that instead of his usual white Assassin's garb he is wearing a brown doublet fashioned in a common 15th century style. The outfit is well tailored for the time though emphasizing Giovanni's status as a noble back home. It seems to be what he got from the random item appearance from the other day.

After a moment Giovanni turns to the device. Whatever he was attending to remains off-camera.]

...I suppose the phrase "never look a gift-horse in the mouth" is appropriate these days, no? Though as with everyone else it seems to invite more curiosity and questions concerning our 'generous hosts' than I would like to admit.

At least I have more to keep warm with now, I suppose.

Ezio...? [He pauses and then thinks better of whatever it was he was thinking of saying. He waves a hand dismissively in the air before reaching forward and shutting off the device.]

[[There is also a golden eagle flying on a red and white background--the Auditore sigil--on the main doorway inside the apartment. The banner was the second "gift." Ezio is free to notice this addition to the apartment decor.]]

Yeah, but....

Huhn. Okay. Thanks....I guess.

It's okay. I'm just glad that I can remember them.

My big brother said that feeling is important here.

I at least came with my cloak. Although it isn't exactly made for winter--more decorative than anything. But still better than nothing!

My sensei--teacher, sorry--always wanted to be an author. It's good to see that he... succeeded. [Minato's still not sure what to think of them. At least the first one isn't porn?]

As it is everywhere. It is what makes us us, and in times or places like these... what keeps us us.

... I never thought about it like that before.

Same as my half-cape--useless mostly. But this one at least covers the entire form.

That is very well. [Oblivious, or ignoring the hesitation. But unfortunately either way it makes him think of his friend back home...]

I would chance to say that is what your brother truly meant by his words. But, I could not say of course nor is it my right.

It still sounds like something he would say.

You seem nice, mister. What is your name?

I'm Nill.

I might be able to get one fashioned once I see how the leather from that polar rabbit bear is ready. [They still haven't decided what to call that thing, really.]

[Probably better that way.] It's good to see he's still pursuing one of his dreams.

Giovanni Auditore da Firenze. It is my pleasure, Signorina Nill.

The... what?

I got attacked here by what looked like a white bear with rabbit ears. It was... odd. And dangerous.

[A pause falls between her last message and the next. The name 'Giovanni' pings her in a strange way, but... not in the way you would think.]

A pleasure to meet you too.

You're name is long just like Alessandro's...

Oh. One of the monsters, I see. Do be careful...

They are useful once dead though.

I was careful. That's why I'm still alive.

Very useful. This one will help more than just me stay warm. And the meat, although odd, is edible. Do you want some?

[Utterly clueless and not concerned really. Stuff happens, it takes time to make replies, yadayadayada]

His full name? Undoubtedly. We are from the same country... more or less. "Da Firenze" actually simply means "from Firenze." It is the city I hail from. The Romans called it Florentia I believe.

...I'd be foolish to say no to any offer of food in this city. Even strange food.

It would be very kind of you.

There's no way we can eat all of this, so it doesn't make sense to horde it.

Where should I meet you?

Outside of Marshall shall suffice if you are in another building.

...Thank you.

That sounds good to me.

And it's no problem, really! It's been a pleasure to speak with you, the few times we've had.

[He chuckles softly.] Likewise.

[Minato sounds pleased.]

I'll be there, shortly, then. It will be a pleasure to meet you face to face, Giovanni.

[And he pronounces it right this time!]

[Huzzah.]

I agree, Signore Namikaze.

[He'll be outside waiting, a dark cloak and hood covering him from the cold but otherwise harmless enough looking in his "civvies".]

[Ah, right. He should probably use Giovanni-san. Or Auditore-san? The guy is his elder, after all, and he was nobility. The second, then. Minato commits that to memory. Strange, he never thought he'd have to consider being political here.

Later, when he's walking up to Giovanni, he'd wave, but his hands are rather full. He has some meat--probably dried, or cooked--wrapped in one hand and a couple of pineapples held by the spiky parts in another. He holds them carefully so that the sharp leaves don't hurt him.

He does, however, have his full ninja garb on--ninjas don't have to hide their appearance all that often in his world, so he doesn't bother to here. There's not much weaponry visible--other than a dagger in the thigh holster. He does, however, seem to be wearing a vest that not only provides protection, but front pockets as well.

His footfalls are naturally quieter--but the moment he spotted Giovanni, his footsteps became louder. As if he's being considerate to make himself more noticeable to a friend. Other than that, his pace is relaxed and confident.

Minato's attire doesn't seem to bother him at all. He holds up the pineapples up high in lieu of a wave.]

I brought some fresh fruit as well, Auditore-san! I hope you don't mind.

I think so.

You are? ...and you can tell that just by looking at each other's names?

[Silly girl. He's the Pope.]

That's a pretty name for a city.

Commentlog? FFF, and should they notice the way each other walks? XD

Sure. ...ehheheh. We'll see how it goes, maybe.

FFFF, considering Minato's wearing his weaponry? XD At least Giovanni will know he's not "normal".
