[Haytham sighs as he works on getting used to this new technology. It really is quite baffling, even after having posted with it once or twice before. Really, wouldn't a simple letter on paper suffice? An in person meeting? Alas, it looks like this is the norm so he supposes he will have to just adjust to it and begins to speak in that high class British accent of his.]

Ah. There we are.

[He nods, looking thoroughly pleased with himself, smiling a bit as he lets satisfaction wash over him.]

Now that I have this confounded contraption working for me, I believe that it is time for a proper discussion regarding certain aspects of this apparent war that we are facing. After all, I do believe I am at a bit of a disadvantage with my lack of knowledge which could hardly be considered fair play. I have some details but not nearly enough to satisfy my curiosity.

[Then he frowns just a bit.]

Also, knowledge on where to get a decent cup of tea in this crisis would be most welcome. Assuming no one decided to dump it into the water. [He gives a wry smile at his own joke before finishing off with...]

I'd also be curious to know what my son, Connor, is up to of late. Should you fail to be aware of who he is, one need only look for a man very much like a bear with a baffled or vexed expression fixed to his face. [A little bit of a smirk appears as he continues.] Or you could tell me yourself now that you have had some time since your return from your rather warm mission, Connor. I do believe you have had enough time to recover, yes?

Thank you and have a pleasant day.

[He tips his hat then signs off.]

[ooc: Haytham finally makes his presence known! He's been looking around a bit and arrived during Mission Volcano. So now he thinks it's time to say hi now that things are settled. Best dad or best dad?]

[Its a very Italian accent that responds.]

I may know of a place to get tea, and can certainly fill you in on matters of the war.

As far as your son... he will likely come find you now that he knows you are here. This is something of a city for family reunions.

Well then, we should get along quite nicely. My name is Haytham Kenway and it is a pleasure to be speaking with you.

Also, I must thank you for speaking of my son. Let us both hope he follows through.

Giovanni, and likewise. If you are not opposed I have the time to meet for our discussion, these devices are so very impersonal.

[he lets out a chuckle.]

Sons will do as they will, I have three of them and a daughter.

My, you have been productive.

[He chuckles because he means nothing by that. Children are the wealth of the future and can be molded to help bring about the good in days to come, after all.]

Now, I am afraid that I am quite new so perhaps I could ask you to come to me? It seems you might have an easier time of locating me than I locating you.

[And this is another Italian accent, though he sounds perhaps less amused at your presence, Haytham.]

So you return to us again, messere Haytham. Somehow I am not surprised.

[Sir, you have him at a disadvantage. Fortunately, you cannot see that frown that appears on his face.]

Yes well, I could could hardly stay away from such pleasant company.

[Such a cheerful tone. Does he mean it? No, not really. He has no idea how you know him.]

[ Holy sh--

You know what? No. This is his home now, and Desmond isn't going to play the 'shock/gasp/horror' game with this third or fourth iteration of his Templar ancestor. They will either align themselves or lightly squabble on the periphery; Haytham's not stupid and won't trigger the might of the Assassins here, not as outnumbered as he is.

...of course that hinges on Haytham knowing there are more Assassins here to begin with. His own son would be obvious; the others, probably not.

Desmond opts to poke him instead. ]

I didn't know George Washington had any children.

I have been married twenty-two years, four is hardly any.

[You know, considering other families have at least a dozen by then.]

Of course, what district's housing are you in? Unless you would care to meet at the castle, it is the center of the wheel the city is built in. A good landmark should you get lost.

[Haytham very slowly lifts one brow at this young man. Since he is aware that he bares no resemblance to Washington, he is also aware that this boy is simply fooling around.

Lovely.

The other brow joins its sibling as he speaks.]

I was not aware heat could damage the brain for an extended period of time.

[Yes, he saw you there too, young man.]

I am familiar with the castle. I could easily arrive there in no time at all. Though, I am in Baldr should that prove to be easier on you.

[Pick one. He's flexible.]

[Bro don't you pull that on him, he's faced like three or four of you by now, each time he's gotten used to your pompous British sass.]

I am certain that is the reason. [Not.] Asgard here is at war, as you have heard. We fight against Thiazi, who plans to win on the day of Ragnarok and destroy all our worlds. It is our duty to prevent that.

Well now, is that not generous of us to lend such a helping hand.

[Driest of dry tones is fucking dry. Forget that disadvantage for a second. It's Snark Time.]

[ This boy is older than your son, bro. Desmond's expression is bland, even as his thoughts race. Ah. So Haytham saw him too, might have even seen his close conversation with Connor. ]

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't take medical advice from a man who comes from a time where people are bled for running a fever.

Is concern for your mental state often considered giving advice in your time?

[Older but still a boy. You are not changing that fact, young man.]

Do you often offer concern couched in dry sarcasm, or is that only for my benefit?

[ Get off his lawn, old man.

And then, an afterthought, ]

Sir.

Neither. I usually only provide it for children who think themselves to be quite clever.

[Make him, child.]

If I see any children in need of unsolicited advice, I'll be sure to send them your way.

[ If you insist. ]

Do you find it so difficult to look at your own reflection?

[Still heeeeeeeeeeere.]

The castle then, neutral ground for meeting strangers. It is also closer for me to get to as well as our destination.

The castle it is then. I shall see you shortly then.

[He sees no reason to add further pleasantries and simply goes to hang up for now. He has to go meet an Italian, after all.]

[And that, in turn, gets the Mentor voice. He is So Done With You already, Haytham.]

I believe it is better to be given a chance to choose to fight or not. It is obvious you have no interest.

After you, Grandfather.

[Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause.]

I am personally familiar with my exploits and I am quite sure you are not my grandson.

It would imply some exploits on your son's behalf, actually. Though that's the fun thing about getting thrust into Asgard.

[Mentor voice meet Grand Master voice.]

Ah but I have a great interest. Those without interest do not ask questions to obtain knowledge.
