[The only thing that shows up on the video feed is a sigil on a flag of some kind hung up on a wall--it fills the whole screen and the camera is set up purposefully for it does not move the entire time. See icon for exact image of the sigil.]

Today is the Feast of Annunciation.

In Firenze, that also means the beginning of the New Year. I realize that many have already celebrated such an event and I will admit at the time it befuddled me that so many celebrated it during that time, and then again the Eastern tradition was on yet another day altogether. So it was celebrated twice here with such a diversity of peoples. But to me the beginning of the year starts this day. I realize it seems odd to celebrate the new year right in the middle of a month but it is how we've done it for years. Call it a religious fault, if you will, though that may be inaccurate it does fall on the celebration on the Annunciation of Christ--likely on purpose.

Either way... I quite like the tradition.


Ezio, enjoy the grapes and strawberries while they last. I won't be asking for them again anytime soon. And I imagine they are very hard to grow at this time of the year.

Arcivescovo Maxwell, I will be coming to the church to pay my respects. I assume you still celebrate the day despite the chronology differences?

Su Altezza Alessandro, Cardinale Sforza--will you hold true as well? Shall I see the two of you today?

La sicurezza e la pace sulla città ei suoi abitanti. Potrebbe essere il giorno luminoso e felice per tutti. Buon anno.

[[Arcivescovo - Archbishop

Su Altezza - Your Highness

Cardinale - Cardinal

Safety and peace upon the city and its residents. May the day be bright and happy for all. Happy new year.]]

Are you part of Minato's family?

It's all right. It can be complicated. Live and learn--no one ever gets it perfect the first time.

Besides, its possible you heard it from someone in the future where things are different. Even I get confused when they explain things to be sometimes.

...We're not from the same world.

But we are close here.

A noble?

...Like a knight?

That's what I meant.

....he adopted me recently.

[See where she is going?]

Nobles are above knights.

Then yes.

He might have mentioned as much. Said you asked him. He is a good person.

No kidding. That's one good thing about this place, at least -- it definitely builds you up to getting used to stuff like that.

I suppose that could be seen as a nice advantage.

He is.

...what's your family like?

Something has to be, around here.

Time conquers all? However, the Gregorian calendar was in use during my time--for quite some time before even. We are just set in our own ways in Firenze. We always have been. ...my people have always been quite stubborn.

O-oh. Do you have a title then? Like Lord or Duke or...

[Yeah Zoe knows nothing about nobles]

Oh I'm sorry! I'm Zoe, Zoe Olesia Elgin Sir, what's you're name?

Giovanni Auditore da Firenze. It is nice to meet you, signorina Zoe.

[So precise.

Giovanni steps out of seemingly nowhere half a minute later, a ghost in all white robes and hood.]

Salute.

[He returns the smile with a knowing smirk.]

Buongiorno, little one.

[When he wants to be.

The ex-officer looks immediately in his direction, a smirk creeping onto his face. Hiding in the shadows, hm? It's not nearly as surprising when you've seen it in the most literal sense possible.

He takes a couple steps forward, pulling his free hand out of his pocket to tip his hat in greeting.]

[He chuckles. He's answered this question quite a few times already. He pauses for a moment before deciding, this time, to sum it up in one word:]

Wonderful.

*She giggles with a small purr before moving to go and sit down next to him.*

You are rrreally good at hiding.
From: [identity profile] betrayedblade.livejournal.com
[He crouches next to her and watches the skyline intently.]

I am made for it.

*Offers cookies.*

*She goes to look up as he crouches, idly goes to wrap her tail around her legs.*

Oh~? How so?

/not gonna say no to cookies

[He half glances at her--not quite looking at her so much as in her direction and his head only tilted slightly. Then he was watching the horizon carefully again.]

...call it hereditary.
From: [identity profile] weaponxi.livejournal.com
*She smiles up at him, her ears flickering as she keeps alert in her own way.*

So yer whole family is like this?
From: [identity profile] betrayedblade.livejournal.com
[He chuckles silently.] My father before me, and his before him...
