It is over and done with finally. Of that I am certainly glad.

Now if I can just manage to convince all of you that I am fine. You children fuss a lot over such an old man. [He clucks his tongue.] Don't worry so much.

...I am also curious about what occurred over the sea; but more importantly I would like to here from certain people. Moa, Umi, Hikaru--are all of you accounted for?

[[Disclaimer! Giovanni sounds and will be acting "fine." But he isn't! He's depressed, but instead of acting sad and emo he'll be easier to annoy and snap quickly at certain conversations. Just letting everyone know what's up with the character change for a few days or weeks or who knows when. Almost total Assassin personality, hardly any Father. Sorry in advance to anyone he snaps at!]]

[D'awww, Ezio.]

I suppose... I did not consider all the options. I was being selfish trying to ignore how others felt. I do not want to dwell. It seemed...pathetic. [...] Ezio. What are you really trying to say. Is there something the matter?

Right, best not to dwell on things.

I'm not trying to say anything, not really. [Lies.] Nothing is wrong I'm just very glad that you are alright.

[Cue sudden subject change!] Once I am sure Naja no longer needs my assistance, I'll return to the apartment.

As you say.

I look forward to seeing you again on a daily basis.

Bene.

I do too, it feels like it's been much too long since one or both of us was not...occupied. I miss you too, padre.

I am sorry for that, Ezio. I--

[He pauses for a thoughtful moment.]

Like you, I do not like sitting still for so long. It leaves too much time to dwell on the troubles of the future and worry over things yet to pose an immediate concern. Doing something, constantly, no matter what it is makes me feel... less pointless. Sometimes just feeling useful is what it takes to have hope. [He sighs.] I need that hope, Ezio. I have only ever been the man you know with it to guide me.

...To talk like this--may be too much--but I want you to understand; I don't want you to think ill of me.

I do understand, I did not mean that I think you should have less responsibilities or stop doing the things you have promised to do. But I hope...[A moment of silence while he makes concentrates on what to say. He doesn't want to screw this up again.] I hope that you would not mind taking some time with me. I know there is much I still must learn, and only from a teacher such as you.

I have never thought ill of you padre.

[Giovanni is silent for a very long, very disconcerting moment. When he speaks his voice cracks once from suppressed emotion before he wraps it completely under his control.]

If ...If that is all you had ever wanted, my son, you had nothing to do but ask. I will always make time for you. I did not mean to ever neglect you.

[Relief and a sense of shame wash over him. He realizes what a stupid child he had acted like and again can't help but think that this was all his fault. He puts on a brave face..er voice, for his father.]

I...I know this. I was selfish father, I should not have reacted the way I did.

I trusted you. Even when I had my suspicions...I thought you would tell me more when you were ready.

[He actually chuckles. His own sense of relief calming him down somewhat.]

It is all right, Ezio. I am used to my middle son being selfish. He has always been spoiled. [He says it all good-naturedly. Teasing almost.]

I had hoped...

I see. I was just practice for when Claudia came along then? It all becomes clear to me! [Picks on his baby sister even when she's not here. That's how good of a big brother he is! Also so glad to hear you sounding happier Papa.]

I had as well.

[He laughs.] Ah, you've figured out my secret. Yes, I spoiled you both rotten and now it has come to bite me--! But I can't help myself, really.

[He sighs faintly.] I am sorry, Ezio. I will try to make it up to you.

[He chuckles, hints of smugness about him.] I always had my suspicions. Besides, I know how hard it is to resist this face.

You have nothing to apologize for. What happened...was out of our hands.

[He snorts.] Save that line for the women.

...I will make it up to you.

[There's no eligible women here Papa, just little girls. He's got nothing. He's whining a bit, but mostly he's just playing around.]</> But I'm still irresistible...

I look forward to our time together father.
