[How does he even begin to tell her what actually got sent?

Why is this happening to him?]

I am truly sorry, Jeanne. But I think perhaps you should check what has been sent from your device recently.

[likeavierge]

[clearly, god is testing him.]

There's... nothing. [the hackers didn't leave a trace.] What is this about?

[collectsfeathers]

[He's probably going to fail.]

There was a picture.

[Dear. Lord.]

Of you.

[Give him strength.]

Naked.

not here; 1/2

[likeavierge]

[god has no strength left to give you, ezio, as he's giving it all to his saint.]

2/2

[likeavierge]

I'm so sorry, Ezio!

[she doesn't even know what she's apologizing for... the indecency, probably.]

[collectsfeathers]

[Is she seriously?

Is she seriously apologizing to him right now?]

Please, do not apologize. It is not your fault.

I am the one who should apologize. For seeing you in a way you did not intend.

[likeavierge]

[... yep.]

No, it isn't your fault, either. You just looked at a photo you were sent... Anyone would have done the same.

[but, wait.

he's not apologizing for that, just—the act of seeing her naked. he's apologizing for it anyway.]

Thank you, Ezio. You're a good man.

[collectsfeathers]

[Is he a good man? Is he really?

He honestly hasn't felt like one in far too long.]

It is nothing, Jeanne.

But if I may say so, you looked very beautiful.

[likeavierge]

[he doesn't trust a saint?]

Ezio...

[she's not sure what to say to that. her face is feeling hot, again.]

[collectsfeathers]

[Not when that saint doesn't know all of the things he's done.

Okay. This is going well so far.]

I am sorry, I know I should not say such things.

But it is also your spirit which makes you so beautiful.

[likeavierge]

You don't have to do this, Ezio. It was silly of me to take that picture in the first place. Um, I didn't intend...

[... to tease him, or entice him, whatever else the photo did.]

I'm sorry. It's still awkward for me to know how to reply when someone calls me beautiful.

[in the context of viewing her naked body, that is.]

[collectsfeathers]

It is alright. I wish to compliment you.

[And for once, it wasn't just because he was trying to be flirtatious.]

Normally you would say 'thank you'. Or perhaps compliment the other in return.

[likeavierge]

[it takes her a long moment to respond.]

Thank you. You really are too kind.

[collectsfeathers]

It was my pleasure.

[Do you know how hard it is for him not to flirt right now? Do you?]

[likeavierge]

[not exactly.

... but he's enough in the clear that he's free to flirt, if he wants.]

I'm not used to this at all. But you seem calm, and I would guess it's because you're comfortable...

Sometimes I think I'm not so comfortable in my own skin.

[collectsfeathers]

[Score.]

Would you believe me if I told you I was not always like this?

I was lucky enough to have my older brother who taught me how to be confident around women.

[likeavierge]

I don't know if I should answer that. But, confidence? Is that what it is?

[collectsfeathers]

It is probably best for my ego if you don't.

Si. You must have confidence in yourself, that you are something they want.

[likeavierge]

So I should... have confidence that men want me.

[collectsfeathers]

You should.

Do you truly not know how desireable you are?

[likeavierge]

Ezio, I don't know how to tell you this, but that isn't exactly the problem.

It's not right for someone like me to be so brazen. I am devoted to God and I lived chastely.

[collectsfeathers]

Such devotion is an adirmable thing.

But you do not have to act brazenly to enjoy yourself. Such things can be sweet.

[likeavierge]

... You're right. They can be sweet.

[collectsfeathers]

That is what I wish to be with you.

[likeavierge]

I

[wow. she wasn't expecting to feel this heated, especially in a conversation that started out like this.]

think I would enjoy that, very much.
