[What? you think Cesare gets all the fun and dealing with trauma? Balls no.

Which is to say it's night and three completely sane assassins are sleeping.]

Cesare?

[maleborgia]

*instead of answering, suddenly plunges his arm up to the elbow into the water, stiffens slightly at the sudden rush of memories and new information*

[sharpasafawkes]

Cesare! Are you mental?!

1/2

[maleborgia]

I don't...

*drawing his arm out, still totally bowled over by this*

[maleborgia]

...No.

*shakes his head slowly*

I'm fine.

...I don't know if you want to touch that.

[sharpasafawkes]

Why?

[maleborgia]

I'm not quite sure.

Shaun, I know what has been going on while I've been here.At least part of it.

[sharpasafawkes]

[-yeah plunging his arm into the water even before Cesare's finished]


[...

...

yeah. give him a minute]

[maleborgia]

*watching.

if he stays in there too long, will pull him out*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Yeah he might need that]

[maleborgia]

*grabbing, pulling*

Shaun!

[Just taking a moment before covering his face with his wet hand, his voice shaky and his laugh coming out a bit strange.]

We got it, or we're going to get it, but if we're lucky it's ours.

[maleborgia]

What do you mean?

*sitting back, giving him some space*

[sharpasafawkes]

The piece of Eden, we're on our way to get it, then we're going to stop this war and save the lot of us from whatever's coming. For once in the two years we've been scrabbling about and hiding under rocks, we're finally going to do a bit of good that lasts.

[maleborgia]

Ah, really? *sounds genuinely excited here for a moment* How close are you to it? What did you see?

[sharpasafawkes]

Everything.

[maleborgia]

Tell me. Where was it? How did you find it?

[sharpasafawkes]

God I can't say that because Desmond would murder me, but we got it after he was done killing-

Cesare, I know how it ends now.

[maleborgia]

That's great! And now? What will happen next? *getting samples, let's get out of here to go celebrate*

[sharpasafawkes]

...Well.

He told Ezio that no man could murder him, so he was "left in the hands of fate".

[maleborgia]

*oh, that enthusiasm is cut short very suddenly.

remembering all at once that, no, they don't really have the same goals.*

Right, of course. And you saw it. Actually, this is useful to me. Tell me what you saw.

[sharpasafawkes]

Right, well, he'd managed to corner him in Navarre and they'd made it to the top of some battlements. After a fight he went in for the kill, and Cesare started talking, saying the throne was his. He was plain mental by that point, saying he'd lead mankind into a new world, that he couldn't die, that sort of thing. Ezio told him the throne wasn't, that giving people the power was best, that he hoped no one would remember his name, and at the end, threw him over the wall.

...I'm sorry.

[maleborgia]

*thinkinggg*

I see. Be more specific. Where in Navarre? How did they fight? I need to know in greater detail.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Going into ALL THE DETAIL because cesareeeeee :< ]

[maleborgia]

*listening so very carefully*

And you saw this yourself? It's not something that was related to you?
