"But padre, won't madre be angry if she finds out we're doing this again?" The small child quizzed lightly as she danced across the archway of her families villa, her small body darting back and forth across the slim structure. She paused to look over at the male when he didn't answer her after a long period of time, her father, Antonio Costa De Luca, looked to be deep in thought as he peered over the water of Venezia his nose was scrunched up and the corners of his eyes crinkled. The young girl rolled her eyes as she hopped off the archway and made her way over to the male, climbing up onto the railing of the bridge she placed herself next to him, hoping to catch a glimpse of what had taken her fathers attention away from her. She saw nothing.
A long sigh was ripped from her young lips as she glanced at him, crinkling her golden eyebrows at him as she pouted and put her hands on her knees. "Padre, cosa stai guardando?" She questioned him lightly as she leaned towards him, leaning her elbows on her knees a small smile played onto her face when he finally looked at her, raising his own eyebrows in question before his own face split into a smile. "Nothing, piccola principessa." He ruffled her golden tresses before he scooped her up in his arms and placed her on his shoulders and started back into the villa, to maybe appease his wifes curiosity as to where he had been for the day with their daughter.
The child laughed and wrapped her arms around the crown of her fathers head, resting her cheek on his dark hair before she closed her green eyes and let out a sigh, her father pampered her to no end because she was his only daughter, having five son's would make her feel a bit left out but her parents had decided not to try for anymore children least they dissapoint their firey little Principressa. "Padre, will we be going to visit nonna this spring?" The child questioned as she lifted her head from his wild mane of hair to look down at him. He let go of one of her ankles to use his now free hand to stroke his beard, the girl giggled at this.
"But of course Principressa." He stopped stroking his beard to pat her ankle. Looking ahead of them to focus on where they were walking. His dark eyes looking over every detail of the floating city, he was always careful when he was out with his children. Especially Alessandra. He took a deep breath of the fresh ocean air and before he knew it they were back at thier villa, he reached up onto his shoulders to pull her down and look her in the eyes seriously. "Now remeber what I told you Alessandra, your Madre cannot know what we were out doing." She nodded her enthusaticly a small smile on her face. "Oh, I promise Padre!" She stopped nodding and kicked her little legs in the air as he was still holding her by the undersides of her arms he laughed and placed a kiss on her cheeks and dropped her down, and watched her run off.
She would be a good Assassin indeed.
Cassie blinked her eyes open as she was unhooked from the Animus, her eyes sqinted to ajust to the bright lights over her head but it was soon blocked out by the shape of Dr. Vidic standing over her, a fake smile plastered on his lips as he tried to be fatherly to her, she inwardly cringed at his fail attempt.
"Ah, Cassandra, how did you feel about your first Animus experience?" He questioned her with a tilt of his head a a gleam in his eyes, he seemed almost predatory about his questions and she wasn't sure if her answer would be the right one, so she hesitated to find the right words that would appease the Doctor. "It was eye opening for me." She finished. "Sir," She added it on just for a good measure, he seemed to accept it as he retracted himself from the light, letting it shine down in her face once more. She cringed at the sudden brightness before she closed her eyes to block out the light, it help moderately. She sighed and tried to situp before she was pushed back down into the uncomfortable seat of the Animus. "Lie still for a moment, if you get up too fast you might get sick." Another voice, different this time, a woman. She didn't know Abstergo employed women to work with the patient's. She huffed and nodded before she opened her eyes to look up at the woman in question. He blonde hair was pulled back into a bun, not a hair out of place, her unblimished skin looked smooth and her blue eyes darted back and forth between the two things, her and the computer screen next to the Animus. "You got a name, Lady?" She asked lightly, or more like croaked, the others head shot up before she opened her mouth to speak but not before looking around. She looked back at Cassie and nodded her head. "It's Lucy, Lucy Stillman."
