... You know him?

[maleborgia]

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

[sharpasafawkes]

Dear lord, who aren't you friends with right now, Leonardo da Vinci?

[maleborgia]

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

[sharpasafawkes]

... I was kidding. What's he like for you?

[maleborgia]

He is very intelligent, very ingenious. He got the better of me on more than one occasion although we only met briefly. I can see why I will later hire him in my military campaign.

[sharpasafawkes]

I was expecting him to be more excitable.

[maleborgia]

Why?

[sharpasafawkes]

well...

[maleborgia]

Have you seen him?

[sharpasafawkes]

He might have been a close friend of Ezio.

[maleborgia]

I see.

I doubt I will have the chance to see him while I am in Pisa. The journey to Florence takes time and I have little of that to spare.

[sharpasafawkes]

I have a feeling ours is a bit special anyway.

[maleborgia]

I have a feeling we are all a bit special where you are from, but what makes him so different?

[sharpasafawkes]

[Going into differences from the original, the enthusiasm, his way of speaking, his inquisitive streak...]

[maleborgia]

...He sounds like a character. I suppose I can see the similarities.

[sharpasafawkes]

He also pulled one about taking off Ezio's finger.

[maleborgia]

...What?

[sharpasafawkes]

It was a joke, he didn't. You see the hidden blade used to requite the sacrifice of the ring finger, but by Ezio's time it'd been modified.

[maleborgia]

Oh, right. He pretended to take it off?

[sharpasafawkes]

Missed Ezio's finger by a few centimeters

[maleborgia]

Ah, the poor man. Nothing nearly so bad happened to me.

[sharpasafawkes]

You want to learn how to use it?

[maleborgia]

Why wouldn't I?

[sharpasafawkes]

It never occurred to me really, you know how far you've got to go until you can use one?
