WHO: Ezio and Dani
WHAT: A next step in training.
WHERE: Rome, Italy.
WARNINGS: Emphatically yes.

Ezio had brought Dani, blindfolded, to one of his favorite places in one of his favorite cities. They were standing on the bridge just outside of the Castel Sant'Angelo in Roma, at about fifty feet off the ground. He was positioning her near the edge, but not at the edge. It was a beautiful day, and one could see for miles. He cleared his throat. "All right, Dani, you may take off the blind-fold, but do not move forward."

	Dani sighed, flexing her fingers as they walked. She bit her lip, sighing once she touched the blindfold. "I'm guessing that you didn't bring me to your bedroom." Slipping the silk from her eyes she looked down - down fifty feet - and shrieked. (Reply to this)

	"Shh!" Ezio put his hands on her shoulders, trying to calm her. "Do not move. This is the next step of training." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-07 04:45 am UTC (link)
	She closed her eyes, taking deep controlled breaths until she could come to her senses. It only took a few moments, and soon she was nodding at his words. "Yes, yes, sorry. I just ... really hate heights." (Reply to this)

	Inconvenient, but not insurmountable. "It is a fear to be overcome. I think you will triumph." Ezio kept hands on her shoulders, just because. "One of the signature moves of the assassino - or, perhaps, assassina - is the Leap of Faith. This enables us to escape pursuit and to get down to earth very quickly." (Reply to this)

"I know, I've seen it in your game." She swallowed thickly, thinking that it would be a useful skill to have. She imagined Ezio doing it, and then she quickly risked a look. "We're over water. Okay, so if worst comes to worst, I'll probably just end up with a horrible rash from hitting the water." She continued breathing deeply, smiling weakly at him. "Show me how so I can start practicing."

	"You get a rash from water?" Ezio raised an eyebrow. Whatever. "I will show you the form first. You may step back from the edge if you want, to mimic the form without fear?" (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-07 05:06 am UTC (link)
	"If you land wrong." She smiled at him, shaking her head. "No, no, I need to mimic the form with fear, since the fear isn't going away any time soon. I need to get over it." She squeezed his hand before leaning back to watch him. (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-07 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Ezio admired her guts. "All right." He stood at the edge of the bridge, hands out at the back, ready to swing forward to help throw his weight out instead of down. "Ready? I shall perform it once, and then help with your form." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-07 05:25 am UTC (link)
	She nodded, watching him. She saw his body, nodding. "It looks like gravity does most of the work?" (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-07 05:44 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, for the most part. Simply kick your body up and out, and keep the form, and it will take care of itself. Watch." Ezio took a breath, closed his eyes, and let his body fall. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-07 05:47 am UTC (link)
	She watched him, moving to the edge once he was done. She knew he'd said to wait for him and the'd practice form, but she waited for him to move a bit out of the way. Within seconds, there was a six foot tall brunette streaking toward the water, shrieking "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck" as she went. (Reply to this)

	Ezio couldn't stop the blasphemy from rolling off his lips as she hit the water loudly - hopefully they would not be taken up by the polizia before they could learn any more. Still, she surfaced, seemingly unharmed. "Not a terrible first try," he told her, "though that was the least stealthy attempt I have perhaps ever witnessed." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-07 06:13 am UTC (link)
	Dani couldn't help but sock him one when he teased her. She was giggling and adrenaline-flushed, whooping as she took off her shirt and tossed it at him before ducking back under the water. (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-07 06:33 am UTC (link)
	Ezio felt it hit his face, blinking when she dove again. "Pazza," he murmured, trying to swim toward her. "We are in a public canal!" If she got arrested, he would laugh. Worry about her judgment, but laugh. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-07 06:36 am UTC (link)
	When she surfaced, she threw her pants at him too, which left her in just her bra and knickers. "Mmm, this water's lovely," she purred, on her back. "So, how crap did I do? I know I was, let me know how to get better. Can we go again?" (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-07 06:57 am UTC (link)
	"It was good for a beginning. Except for the noise." Ezio wanted to cover her up; damned if he'd see the inside of a Roman jail. Still. "You had your arms in the right place. You just try to jump too much instead of letting yourself be carried." (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-08 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Smiling, she swam a little closer to him, grinning. "I know, I know, the noise is awfully silly of me, I just ... don't like a lot of heights. I'll work on it if I can. Can I go again? Or should we go somewhere else?" She couldn't help leaning in to nibble his neck. (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-08 04:14 am UTC (link)
	"You can go again, but cover up first." He was mostly teasing, shooing her out of the water and up onto the bridge stones. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-08 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"You're no fun," she grinned, wiggling back into her cold, damp clothes. Tossing her damp hair, she sent a spray of water onto him before racing to the jumping off point again. The adrenaline was singing in her veins. It seemed to override her fear, for soon she was standing in the same pose as before. She reminded herself not to jump, just to let herself fall. (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-08 04:35 am UTC (link)
	Ezio watched her second try, which was much better. He laughed, saying as much when she surfaced. "Well done, tresora. Your form was much better." He didn't comment on the noise, figuring she knew about it. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-08 04:43 am UTC (link)
	She smiled when she surfaced, beaming at his pet name for her. "Really? I'll probably come out here to practice sometimes." She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer. "We should get back to your flat," she murmured. (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-08 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"That would be an excellent idea." Ezio smiled. "Just do not get taken up by the polizia. They will think you are mad." He teased. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-08 05:02 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, I won't, I'm good at avoiding the police," she winked. "Well, except the one time a man in a car hit me on my bike. I was too busy beating the crap out of him to avoid getting pinched." She kissed him gently, then sighed. "You completely missed me trying to seduce you. Serves me right for dating an old man." (Reply to this)

	ex_assassino897 2011-12-08 05:07 am UTC (link)
	Ezio's eyes widened. "Old man!" That was uncalled for. He grabbed her and dunked her in the water, mostly because she could. (Reply to this)

	daniwithani 2011-12-08 05:16 am UTC (link)
	She was laughing loudly when he dunked her, and she only continued laughing when she took the opportunity to pants him. (Reply to this)
