Ah, another's post yesterday made me think of something. There is a common supply cache around here, is there not? I have no need to request of anything, but I did have a question for those that run it. Or, a proposition perhaps. I am a banker and businessman by birth inheritance and am highly trained and skilled with the workings of such a profession. I realize this is not exactly the same, but if you need a helping hand with keeping up with the supplies and rationing them out--well, that's where being a banker comes in handy. [He chuckles lightly.] I can keep my numbers quite well. I can help with records and the like.

[As if he doesn't volunteer/do enough crap around here, now he's going off and volunteering for more. Oi. Well, anyway, maybe he just wanted to do something familiar for a change. His new trips out into hunting are nice and all but he has to admit (at least to himself) that he misses his less adventurous duties, too. Besides that, it was something (else) he inherited from his father and he wanted to continue it even if it was in some strange place and not quite the same.

...

Or maybe he just needed another hobby. Anyway...]

I did think of something I can ask all of Discedo, including the supply cache since it's an item: does anyone have a scacchi--eschec...ches?--set? Or, perhaps, good at wood-work? Whittling? And would be willing to trade.

Does anybody know how to play the "King's Game"?

Grazie, Ezio.

Then I will simply have to reacquaint you with proper strategy. How ever did you manage to get this far without me, mio figlio?

[vengefulblades.livejournal.com]

Pensi nulla di esso.

[Fighting to keep that causal tone.] It was in no way easy.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[...] I imagine you had help.

[vengefulblades.livejournal.com]

Si, but not with scacchi of course.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

It was not meant to be forgotten. Surely you did not fail to recognize the lessons within its simplistic yet complex engagements?

[vengefulblades.livejournal.com]

Of course not, however I am out of practice. And do not forget I was only barely able to beat Federico...eventually.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

If you are out of practice then you failed to comprehend the lesson.

[He just realized the point of all those chess lessons...I mean secret-assassin-training.]

I suppose if you put it that way...I may very well beat you this time around.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

We shall see. [Fffft, in your dreams, Ezio.]

[vengefulblades.livejournal.com]

Si, we will. [Oh, let him dream Papa!]

[Oh, fine.]
