*All things aside, Cesare still uses the library frequently. He might not spend as much time in it, but he's been coming and going a lot and so happens to be inside it when a little bubble of annoyance thank you, Camp encircles it...*

Then please, explain Spain and the Russia- the librarian.

[maleborgia]

He killed me, painfully, and I was angry. It was a series of chance events falling together.

[sharpasafawkes]

But you don't think using Spain to kill him is wrong, when you're telling us not to do it?

[maleborgia]

I told you not to because the debt had been paid. I told Altaïr not to because I was worried it would simply incite him to press further.

[sharpasafawkes]

It still upsets me you know. Even if the debt's been paid it was done rather underhandedly. The fact that you don't think it's underhanded is what worries me.

But before that, what did you mean by Altair? you also brought up that he'd asked you a question.

[maleborgia]

*shakes his head* Those are for Altaïr to answer. He made that much clear. *well, that was a little more than he meant to say, but moving on.*

Tell me. How is it any different from what you wanted to do? I was hurt, both you and Spain found out on your own, without my telling you. You both learned who did it and came to the same conclusion about how to handle it.

[sharpasafawkes]

You're confusing me here mate, I've got no idea what Altair said or did.

Because in one you let it slip so he'd take action, and you acted like you didn't know what he'd do. I told you before, if you need to use someone's talents, just be honest with them.

[maleborgia]

I know he would have done it anyway.

[sharpasafawkes]

Then why the subterfuge?

[maleborgia]

I did not want my name attached to it.

I thought it would have been more of a deterrent this way as well.

[sharpasafawkes]

Cesare, everyone knows you've got your ties to him. If Spain came in and had a go at us we'd wonder why you decided to go on the attack, even if we were on perfect terms.

So why didn't you want you r name on it? you thought he'd retaliate?

[maleborgia]

Of course.

[sharpasafawkes]

[god there all the feelings in this look]

[maleborgia]

[sharpasafawkes]

This is what I hate, there's no remorse. You say you've taken it all to heart, but what have you changed about it?

[maleborgia]

I never said there was no remorse.

[sharpasafawkes]

Is there?

[maleborgia]

...

Not for everything.

[sharpasafawkes]

Then for what.

[maleborgia]

For failing you.

*...welp. not what was intended.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Just. A long sigh]

You haven't, not yet anyway.

[maleborgia]

And how would I? Leave the more ridiculous answers out of it, I have heard them enough.

[sharpasafawkes]

Tell me what those answers are, first.

[maleborgia]

What you were accusing me of earlier.

[sharpasafawkes]

How have you changed, then?
