It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
Except there is, perhaps, a few things amiss.
This post functions as the general mingle post for the week. Wanted Posters and other small events will be posted in top levels below. If there's any questions or requests, please send a PM or shoot a PP to robowest.
[ [There hasn't been much of a chance for them to talk since last week, Elizabeth has kept her distance and as such things haven't exactly smoothed over...but she's been watching him, saw how he helped to take those bodies down. Maybe now is the time to make amends.]
[She approaches him as he works, walking around behind him to get a better look at what he's done.] ]
1488, actually. I... I hope that I will see him again, so that I may tell him all this. I think it would make him very happy.
[Luckily, he doesn't know anything about Columbia and neither will Leonardo because... yikes.]
It's... it's alright. The things we have witnessed, your response was only natural. I sometimes forget that, with all that I have experienced. And so I am sorry for not understanding your position, even as I am trying so hard to protect that very thing. But, thank you for trusting me, Elizabeth. That means a great deal to me.
[Truthfully Elizabeth's anger had been displaced, she realizes that now, and is relieved her apology has been accepted. Perhaps it would be better to understand Ezio before passing more judgement.]

You paint.

[His voice is distant, and he doesn't turn to look at her. But at the very least, he keeps speaking. That's something, isn't it?]
My friend, Leonardo... he's an actual painter, though I think he prefers inventing. He could do better than this, capture her better than I can.
no subject
[Elizabeth rubs at her pinky finger, the usual tell that she's anxious or uncomfortable.]
Don't sell yourself short, you've captured her beautifully.
no subject
No, my friend is Leonardo da Vinci.
[A sigh escapes his lips.]
Grazie, Elizabeth.

.....You're friends with one of the greatest inventors in all history?
no subject
[Still weird to hear that, as much as it sort of suits Leonardo.]
My family was a patron of his so I've known him since 1476? Ah- I've known him for 12 years, I mean.
[He corrects himself because most people probably aren't operating on the year being 1488.]
no subject
[That's so long ago, compared to Elizabeth, but she's seen visions of possible futures and pasts, so the idea doesn't blindside her]
His ideas still inspire inventors in my time. I wouldn't be surprised if he contributed to the birth of my city...
[She's been smiling and animated during their recount of Leonardo, but now her expression fades into something more serious and thoughtful.]
...I owe you an apology. The way I spoke to you last was unfair and unkind.

What do you mean, "all that you've experienced"?
