"It is." Desmond grinned a bit. "I've always liked the view of Florence from up high."

"Masayaf, Florence, Boston..." Shea teased. "You just like perching up high, admit it."

Desmond grinned. "Guilty," he admitted easily. "What can I say, it's fun."

Shea just snickered a bit.

"That just means you get to help teach climbing," she said. "And jumping, and falling."

"They'll learn how to fall after I've pushed them off once or twice," Desmond said with a grin.

Shea snickered.

"No kidding," she said.

Desmond watched Ezio heading somewhere and raised his eyebrows. "Huh. Wonder where he's headed off to?"

Shea blinked and looked as well.

"No idea," she said. "Maybe we should follow and see?"

"We could." Desmond grinned a bit. "Could be fun."

Shea grinned.

"Let's go, then," she said, getting up. "What's in that direction, anyways?"

"Leonardo's workshop," Desmond said with a shrug. "Maybe he's going there."

That made Shea's eyes light up a bit.

"Ooh, that sounds fun," she said. "Now we have to follow him. Where's Harper? She won't want to miss this."

"Already following him," Desmond replied with an amused grin, watching as Harper followed Ezio. "I guess she got bored. Let's go see."

Shea grinned and hurried to catch up to Harper.

"Curious too?" she asked her friend.

"Just a bit," Harper said with a grin. "We'll find out where he's going soon though."

And yes, she was very curious.

"Yep," Shea said, grinning a bit.

It didn't take Ezio long to realize he was being followed, but a simple glance back told him who it was. He wasn't making a secret of where he was going, so he didn't mind the entourage for the moment. He would, however, warn Leo about them, just so the artist wasn't startled.

Harper slowed down a bit when he dropped down, looking at where he'd gone.

Leo was working in the workshop still, although he was thinking of taking a break.

Ezio knocked on the door, and then went in.

"Leo?" he called.

Shea gestured to Harper when she found a window overlooking the main room inside.

"Ah, Ezio!" Leo turned to him with a grin, going over to hug him. "Just in time, I was thinking of putting this puzzle down for a few minutes."

Harper perched next to Shea to watch, aware of Desmond coming up behind them to watch too.

Ezio returned the hug easily.

"You and your puzzles, Leo," he teased gently.

"Yes, yes," Leo said with an easy grin. "So, is there anything you need help with today or did you just come to visit?" He moved farther into the room, extracting two chairs from somewhere.

"Just a visit, for the most part," Ezio replied. He grinned. "Am I not allowed to just visit my dearest friend?"

Leo laughed a bit. "Of course you are," he assured him. "This is just a bit unexpected." He grinned and sat. "So, how are things going?"

"As usual," Ezio said as he sat down. "Although there are a few... acquaintances in town whom I was not expecting. Colleagues."

"Oh?" That was unusual enough to catch Leo's attention. "I wasn't aware you had colleagues in other parts of the world."
