[HELLO ASGARD. THIS IS YOUR RESIDENT ITALIAN ASSASSIN SHOPKEEPER ON THE LINE. And said resident Italian looks as if he has a question- or would if he currently wasn't having his attention directed to something on his outfit. Something like a grey hair.

Dio mio, does he really need a reminder about his age on top of fighting a war. Ezio makes a face at that, brushing off his sleeve and finally turning to the camera again.]

Buon giorno, Asgard. A question. [A pause, and then-] At what age do you start to consider someone as "old?"

[No, this has nothing to do with his novices telling him he needs to be more careful because of his age, or ghost pangs of old wounds when he moves the wrong way, what are you talking about. This is just normal conversation.

Right.

Right.]

[[FYI: Some characters might have the (mis)fortune of Ezio conking out in the middle of their conversation, as he's going on a canon update! Enjoy.]]

Comments

[secondborn]

Are you concerned about your age?

[Alastair's baffled. He never thought it was something Ezio would be concerned about.]

[sicarius]

[...asfgjsafjgh WELL HE'S BALKING ALREADY Alastair why are you asking him that this isn't about him.]

Of course not.

video.

[optimistical]

"Old"?

[ That's an... interesting question to ask. ]

Everyone will say something differently, but I think part of it might also be what the person themselves think of as old.

video.

[sicarius]

[Ah, this is a new face. Ezio chuckles a little, smiling wide.]

Sì, I agree. I know several people who others may see as old, but are still young in their years, and young ones who are older than what they should be. It varies.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

You're not old at all, Mr. Ezio. Who called you old!

[Video]

[sicarius]

[There is laughter for Alice's protests, and Ezio smiles.]

Several, Alice. I have heard it many times in both Asgard and at home.

video.

[truegood]

Whenever they begin to feel old, I'm sure.

[ not that he's. smirking. no. he's just. heh. ]

video.

[sicarius]

[RENLY PLS.]

Naturalmente. One would think when he actually feels old, then he is.

Action

[primafamiglia]

[Giovanni gives a soft sigh as he leans on the doorframe. The post had been another slightly painful reminder of the gulf of time separating them.]

None of us are young forever, Ezio.

[There's a smile though, because he can't not smile when looking at the grown man his son has become.]

If it helps any you will always be the son who ran everywhere the moment he could because walking took too long when I look at you.

Action

[sicarius]

[The voice from the doorway causes him to look back towards it, a smile creeping on his face.]

Sì, padre. I am aware.

[That doesn't stop the fact from being driven home that he is currently seven years older than his father, and spent thirty years without him there. He supposes this time in Asgard is meant to be cherished, and it is, but it is also painful, in some ways.

Though he laughs at that last statement.]

Federico and I always enjoyed keeping you on your toes.

video

[womanfromacre]

I would say it's as soon as you start beginning most of your sentences with 'when I was your age.'

[And then her smile grows wicked.]

Or when your hair begins to go grey.

video

[sicarius]

[That wicked smile is met with a look of faked terror. Grandma, you're awful.]

Then what am I to do? A poor man like myself, surely you have brave words for me, madonna.

[runtothesunlight]

...

[...
1) ....../abort mission
2) How old are you?
>3) It's a matter of perception.]

It's a matter of perception.

[sicarius]

As I have been told, and think, as well.

[People have just been calling him old and treating him like an old man recently. Rude.]

Someone may be young, but have the mentality of someone much older, and the same for the opposite. I have found that there is no set way people are, in terms of age.

Video

[samantha_grey]

Two... three hundred years, I suppose. Humans live such short lives and I'm pretty sure I'll live for centuries so I've never really thought about it, why?

[Not the most helpful person to answer this question.]

Video

[sicarius]

That is far longer than most would even consider having.

[It's not a normal answer, but it is different, and he can appreciate that.]

Will you enjoy living that long?

[longwinded]

Age is just a number, really. It also depends on the person. Like I guess if you're a kid like me, anyone in some authoritative position would be considered "old".

[sicarius]

It is, and I agree. There are those who act their age, yet there are many who do not.

[pushesgently]

If it makes you feel better, being around some of you has made me feel extremely old on occasion.

[Yanno. Being a legend and all.]

[sicarius]

[fasghjsfakgj Altaïr, you're a bro. IT'S A LITTLE AWKWARD BEING OLDER THAN YOU SOMETIMES TBH.]

On occasion?

[That tone might suggest he's teasing.]

[splendid_solitude]

I think it depends on how you've lived. I'm only twenty-eight, but it feels like I've been around a lot longer then that.

[sicarius]

Ah, capisco, I can understand that. Is it because of something that happened? Or just a personal reason?

[bythewaves]

[ forever amused about humans and age when he's not being depressed about it ]

Well now, that is a strange question to ask, I would have thought. I fear, however, Men have very different concepts of age than I am used to. I have heard it said here however that, ah... "you are as old as you think you are"?

[sicarius]

Sì, sì, as have I. I would think that it would only matter on what one thinks or acts, but I have been told otherwise.

[Video]

[5thchild]

Doesn't it depend on the point of view?

[Video]

[sicarius]

Always. If it did not, it would be a rather poor observation for others to make.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Well, I'm 2000 years old.

[ SHRUG. ]

That's pretty old. How about you?

[Video]

[sicarius]

Two-thousand?

[Ezio actually laughs.]

And do you feel anything like it?

[Though he gets a snort shortly after.]

47. I have been here a year, and I was 46 back home.

video.

[wasbrave]

(she really can't help smirking.)

Depends. Why, are you starting to feel your age?

video.

[sicarius]

Never. [It is said defiantly, like a child being ridiculously silly and petulant.]

I fear the day I act my age or feel it will be a sad one indeed.

[allpurposescarf]

Ah, well. That probably depends on who you were meaning to ask about. Not everyone's going to be old at the same time, you see.

[sicarius]

Of course. There are always things that vary. But I was not talking about anyone in particular.

[alwaysaboom]

When you enter the zocalo, see a group of teenagers, and decide to take another route because they looked threatening.

[sicarius]

Mi scusi a zocalo?

[moodkiller]

Age is little more than a number. When do you start to consider someone an adult? [Answering projecting with projecting!]

[sicarius]

It truly depends on how they act, in my opinion. Also if they want to be treated as an adult. [He sees what you're doing there, Naoto.]

[text]

[snowstormed]

[A pause, during which he considers how to answer this. If he should answer it at all. Then:]

I think I'm ninety-plus [He's pretty sure. The museum exhibit said so.]

but I don't feel that old

[text]

[sicarius]

Do you think you are truly defined by age, however?

[Video]

[okamichild]

Old? As "old man" or "old enough"?

[Video]

[sicarius]

However you wish to take it.

[video]

[shinybaldhead]

Never really slapped a number on it. Mostly always figured it started when you let your ear hair get all out of control. [ Gunn shakes his head with a subtle look of mock disgust here. ]

[video]

[sicarius]

[That gets a laugh and a raised eyebrow.]

Ear hair? I have never heard of something as terrible as that!

[beyondmeasure]

Probably around 100.

( A direct answer to the question! )

[sicarius]

And what an age that would be. I cannot even imagine living that long.

[Bless you Luna.]

[fire_punk]

I... don't know. [He shrugs, frowning slightly.] I guess when they're like my dad's age. [Or when they look like they're as old as his dad would be.]

[sicarius]

And how old is your father?
