The Private Tour

Robin has been almost completely at ease from the time they landed in Italy. This was her home. At least, it had been. And she felt comfortable here. She spoke the language, and she knew how to fit in for the most part. It was at least familiar territory. And it was also an unexpected move for the two of them. No one would expect them to head for the country that housed the headquarters of those chasing them. They had gone from Japan to Russia, and now the two of them were in Italy. Of course, Amon had apparently created some false trails as well, so if someone was trying to track them, they would have several possible destinations to pick from. Robin didn't think that Italy was an obvious one despite her familiarity with the country. After all, she hadn't been allowed out of the convent much.

She was enjoying herself immensely. They would be here three weeks and were traveling all over the Italian countryside. They played tourist wherever they went any more. Amon claimed it made their movements harder to track, and it gave the pair of them a plausible cover for being foreigners. Besides, it was very easy to blend in with tourists most of the time. Robin leaned back in her chair, taking a deep breath and taking in the smells of Italy. She and Amon had stopped at a little café in Tuscany for their lunch this afternoon. Robin was heartily enjoying the familiar Italian foods, and she was finally able to get a proper cup of coffee.

Eyeing the motor scooters across the street, Robin sipped her coffee. They would be in Tuscany for a few days. The two of them were on their way up to Lake Como, though they were stopping in Milan first. Amon had apparently managed to rent them a villa on the lake, and it would be a good place to take day trips from. Robin was looking forward to it. They had spent the last week and a half visiting many of the major tourist spots, and she could use a break. As much as she hated to admit it, she wasn't exactly back to full strength. She was mostly physically recovered from her ordeal at the Factory, but the strain of being constantly on the move worn on her at times. At times, Robin almost swore it affected Amon as well.

Russia had been exhausting in that way. Italy, not as much. Of course, that could be because they were on much more solid ground here. Robin was perfectly fluent in Italian, and she had managed to teach Amon enough of the language to get by. This was a place were Robin knew how to act and how to navigate them around the cities easily, and she was definitely more relaxed here. Plus the food was definitely better. Pursing her lips, she idly wondered if she could convince Amon to rent one of those motor scooters for them. It would be a fun way to explore the city, and Robin had always wanted to ride one.

She closed her eyes for a moment. Sitting here in the warm sunshine and listening to the soft music the café was playing, Robin felt at home. But the thing was it wasn't so much this place as it was the man who sat across the table from her. Amon made her feel safe and at home no matter where they were. Whether it was in some remote cabin in Russia or here in her native land, it was Amon that made the difference to Robin. It scared her a little how important he had become to her, but it was also a little nice. It was nice, more than just nice really, to know that she wasn't alone.

"You want to rent a scooter," Amon said.

Robin looked up at him startled. "How did you know?"

The corners of his mouth quirked up slightly. "You've been eyeing them since we arrived here. Actually, you've been eyeing them since we've arrived in Italy."

She bit her lip. "Can we?"

The server came with the bill, and Robin waited impatiently for Amon to finish up with it. Finally, the woman left, and Robin waited for Amon's answer. He held out his hand to her, revealing a pair of keys. Robin grinned and was out of her seat within moments.

"Come on," she laughed kissing his cheek.

Grabbing his hand, Robin hopped the curb and headed straight for the scooters.
