Mun is dipping her feet into RP again...

[bookishpassion]

Oh. Oh my.

I am a bit flattered that out of all the other "muses" (as you call us) you have, you have chosen me. It has been a while, has it not, my dear mun?

Though I am quite surprised that you decided to bring me out again, I wonder, why is it that you have chosen to do so?

[Insert thoughtful expression here.]

Ah, so you deem me sensible. That is... quite the compliment.

[She gives a soft, yet confident, smile.]

Then I suppose that you are looking for me to give you some rational advice concerning my presence.

I will be truthful; I am happy that I have not been forgotten. This is a rather large step for you. It has been five... six... months since you have been active in this world. Ease yourself back in, but be mindful of your own time and obligations. Patience, and take hold of your bearings.

I suppose that is all I have to say about your current situation... But as for myself, I so miss speaking to others. It feels refreshing to be about again.

Why am I not surprised to see you continuing to be the voice of reason in all things?

[Have a smile and an offered hand.]

It has been too long, bella mia.

[bookishpassion]

Ah! Ezio~!

[Small blush, but she takes his hand without hesitation.]

Yes, it has been quite some time.

My mun seems to be a bit nervous, though I do not blame her.

[vengefulblades]

[He brings her hand to his lips for a kiss before, reluctantly, releasing it.]

I have, [Pause. He can't seem to bring himself to say he missed her, especially since their time together was so short lived. It just seems over sentimental. She'd obviously think him foolish. Obviously.]

...What's there to be nervous about? My mundane and I believe you to be quite brilliant.

[bookishpassion]

[The smile on her face does not waver as his lips descend upon the back of her hand, and the slight rosiness of her cheeks does not lessen, nor do they get any darker. After such a long time without him, his presence is comforting, and even though he doesn't say the words, she understands perfectly.]

As have I. [He doesn't need to say it.]

Brilliant? I am far from it. Perhaps "active mind" would be a better description.

[vengefulblades]

[It's his turn to smile. It was obvious he did not know her as well as she him but her familiarity had never put him off. If anything it intrigued him all the more. He nods his head in silent thanks.]

You do not give yourself enough credit, my dear. Your "active mind" as you call it, is more capable than that of most people.

[bookishpassion]

As a child, my mother and father would tell me that I possessed a great imagination. I would like to believe that is where my curiosity of the world around me was birthed. Perhaps that is why I appreciate literature so much.

[Her gaze drifts away into the distance.]

But I am no great artist, nor am I a genius in maths and sciences. I am just... open, to what the world has to teach.

[vengefulblades]

An open mind is greater than any one talent. You are more willing to learn, to accept difficult concepts and grow from them. It is an admirable and attractive quality.

[He steps forward, closing the gap between them and bringing a hand up to her chin so he could gently turn her gaze back to himself.]

It's what I like best about you, Sofia.

[bookishpassion]

[She is momentarily at a loss for words as her gaze meets his.

But only momentarily. She sighs, seemingly in defeat.]

Attractive to you, perhaps.

[vengefulblades]

[There's that over confident smirk that says he knows he's right. No questions.]

To any man with his eyes open, amore.

still haven't gotten around to uploading icons, sorry :'(

[assemblatore]

I'd imagine that not even endless books could keep you happily locked away from the rest of the world. It is good to see you about, Sofia.

It's all good! c:

[bookishpassion]

A supply of well-written literature could keep me hidden for only so long, but I would much rather be living and experiencing the world outside.

It is always a pleasure, Ezio.

[assemblatore]

I would be concerned if you no longer were.

How have you been otherwise?

[bookishpassion]

Content, but a bit lonely. The company I have been keeping is quite interesting, but they lack the stimulation that I am accustomed to.

[assemblatore]

Perhaps I can keep you company for a bit, then.

[bookishpassion]

[A short laugh.]

I will never deny your company, Ezio.

[assemblatore]

[Chuckle]

Good... I was starting to worry you'd grow bored of me!

[bookishpassion]

I could never...

[There is a grin on her face.]

As I have told you before, you are an interesting man. I quite enjoy your company. I will never tire of the tales you tell.

[assemblatore]

Hmm. I'm sure I could find another tale just for this occasion, too, and we could go for a stroll.

[bookishpassion]

Ah, then facci strada, Ezio.

[She loops her arm around his, her grin widening into a smile.]

I am always listening.

[assemblatore]

[He wears a big smile, too. Having a beautiful woman on his arm wouldn't have fazed him, thirty years ago, but these days, those little things mean the world to him.]

I could tell you a story about my friend, Leonardo da Vinci.

[bookishpassion]

[Sofia peers at him curiously, out of surprise. Did he say... Leonardo da Vinci? She was aware that Ezio was quite the traveled man, and had lived a life full of adventure, secrets, and lies. But to be acquainted with such a prolific figure (and such an ingenious mind) as Signore da Vinci...]

Please, Ezio. Tell me that you are only joking. Signore da Vinci? I cannot tell you how much I adore his work. He has an exceptional mind-- the things I have read and heard... truly amazing. [There's an excited glint in her eyes.] And you... you know him?

[assemblatore]

[He chuckles, delighted by how excited she gets over these things.]

I do... he is my oldest friend, and has been ever since we met when I was seventeen. What have you heard about him?
