Nothing is wrong. I was simply wondering if I should ask your help with something now or wait until tomorrow.

*handwave handwave* It can wait until you are finished eating. Have some more.

*takes another drink, in part to see if Shaun will copy him*

I am making plans with the assumption that I will be able to return to Pisa in January. There are a few things I think I should be able to take with me and leave there without causing any problems. Some fabric for my sister, a bottle of sake. I will only have twenty-four hours there and need to make the most of the time. Help me organize it.

*will do this periodically*

Planning to what?

[personal profile] maleborgia 2011-10-26 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. It would be better if I had more than the one day, but I told you I would arrange for something to be done.

Are you familiar with the layout of the city or shall I draw you a map?

*traces the general outline of the city on the table, moving around different items to represent different areas and important buildings*

This is the university and this is Riario's estate, where I am staying. Over here is the Medici estate. Now, the area on the other side of the river is what most concerns us. Imagine it is crossed with narrow streets all the way up to this church, which is where I shall be ceasing my layout. This is all Franciscan territory, of course. This (*he taps the table*) is where the memory you saw began. Angelo and I crossed at this bridge and walked this way. The first confrontation took place here and the second (*he is drawing his finger along the table, tracing their path*), here.

*he looks up to see if Shaun is following along*

They vary. Some are... they appear a bit less so than the modern streets I have seen. Others, the side ones especially can get very narrow so that only two people would be able to walk them abreast. As for population, I cannot give you a complete answer. The area nearer to the church is densely populated, so is the stretch alongside the river. There are patches of abandoned houses.

*pauses a moment to think over this*

People stay in the area. But you are right, there are only so many people so near when they are offered scraps.

*clearly listening, leans forward on the table slightly*

Knowing the roads is no problem. I know them passingly well--and I have those who are better acquainted with them. That last idea might work well. I'll be certain to look into it when I return to Pisa. I doubt I will be able to find anyone on such short notice but I should be able to arrange for it to take place. He'll need near constant supervision, however, which may...

No. Never mind. I know how to work around it.

I may be able to set something more stable and self-regulating in place, but I will not know until I see how things have progressed in my absence. Or, rather, in the time I have no information on.

It is. You have been quite helpful. *oh, right, the goal is to keep Shaun engaged, not to secretly have plans and make them seem all the better when they materialize seemingly from nowhere*

Depending on what has happened with the rebuilding of the factory, I might be able to organize additional aid through those I have working there. I should also get in touch with Niccolò; he may be able to help me set something up with either the Medici estate or, perhaps, using the funds and holdings of the Franciscans themselves without bringing my name into the open.

We are acquaintances, yes. He is attending the university as well and is employed by the Medici family.

Oh, we're hardly friends. He is certainly talented, but I am still annoyed that he tricked me.
