[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.]]

[He smiles reassuringly for her.]

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*She goes to force a smile for him. She blew it and she knows it.*

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He won't hold it against her in the future.]

BLAME THIS ON EALD'NARCHE-MUN!!!

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*That makes her happy. Really really happy. She silent a moment longer before speaking up again.*

.... Would you need a hug, Giovanni?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. LOL

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

...you do not need to inconvenience yourself. [But yes, he would be more than willing to accept a hug.]

Giovanni y so adorables?

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

It would be a inconvenience for me to do that. Otherrrwise I would have offered.

*Then be prepared to have a Mithra to come and hug you. She is more then happy to do this for him.*

we still don't know the answer to this. :3

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He looks sheepish, but mostly just a soft sad-like quality. He smiles and nods once.

Though it might help if she knew where she was going... and he isn't offering it up.]

Then the only answer is to investigate this mystery! :3

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

Carrre to let me know where you are or shall it be a game of hide-n-seek?

*And it was that quality is fuels her desire to find him. She goes to offer him a smile of her own, even adding a purr to the smile.

Ohohoho~ Are you putting her hunting skills to the test, Giovanni?*

ahaha XD

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He could. He considers for a moment.

And then everything goes black for a longer moment. Finally, the view shows the landscape from a rooftop. He never says anything, just pans the view for her.]

*Puts on a detective hat a gets herself a smoke pipe.*

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*She blinks as everything goes black before tilting her head. What is this he is planning?

And she instantly perks up, purring as he shows her, grinning as much as she can.*

Just wait fer me and I will be there soon.

ffffffffffft. /watches amusedly

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[This he can do.]

Shall we go and tackle this mystery? :3

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*Well good! It does take her some time before she goes to try searching rooftop by climbing unto the buildings and just leap from building to building....

This....

This is a lot of FUN! She will have to thank Giovanni for this.*

Uhhhhh.... sure?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He considers it just a part of business. But that is completely besides the point...

He'll be in the shadows, ducking deeper into them when he spots her coming, and he WILL spot her coming ahead of time.]

Re: Uhhhhh.... sure?

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*Fine by her. She isn't being sneaky while looking for him on the roof tops. She pauses every once and a while to just focus on listening as well as sniffing the air.

Her tail sways behind her as she moves, keeping her perfectly balanced as she moves.*

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He stays perfectly still; watching. Not revealing himself in the slightest; waiting patiently to be found.]

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*She eventually comes close to the area he is hiding. She pauses to flick her ears, to pick up even the slightest sound. She blinks and smiles as she goes to move closer. Still not picking up any sounds but at least, there is the scent of a hume nearby.

After a few more moments of searching she stops near where the man is hiding and smiles as much as she can.*

Hello.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He returns the smile with a knowing smirk.]

Buongiorno, little one.

FFFFF! LJ ATE MY TAG! I SWEAR I SENT IT A LONG TIME AGO!

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

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

You are rrreally good at hiding.

I only tagged this earlier today... really late...

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He crouches next to her and watches the skyline intently.]

I am made for it.

*Offers cookies.*

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*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

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[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.

n_n <3.... I have a feeling that he might become a daddy figure to Sai.

[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?

^^ ...he does that a lot. Apparently he's good at it.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles silently.] My father before me, and his before him...

Perhaps it's a hidden power of his.

[weaponxi.livejournal.com]

*She closes her eyes, smiling as much as she can at that.*

So it's a family trrrait. How wonderful is that...

WHAT. HEY. HOW IS THIS MY FAULT.
