[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.]]

Bene, bene! Che è molto buona. I am glad for you. It is in times like these that the little things make the biggest differences sometimes. It is something we should all be grateful for even if it is only slight compensation.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with that. As bad as things may seem one instant, there is certainly always worse when you least expect it. However, with a little courage and determination it can all be overcome.

...Friends and loved ones help with that. Always remember that.

W-without friends, w-we would be lost. E-even s-some of us here, who have n-no one.... I-I think they could do well, i-if they get to know people.

Yes. [He pauses to smile knowingly to himself and it shows in his voice when he continues.] You are very wise for one your age.

[He's not sure what to say at first, but he smiles as well.] I-I just know h-how I feel....

...That is more than most, at least.
