No. I am grateful in that my family is not here but back on my world where they are safe from this place. What I meant by that remark is that this place is tied to me by more than just some contract or deed.

[He takes a slow breath and offers a calm smile.]

This... Was a far more passionate conversation than I expected. I hope I haven't deterred you already.

[He shook his head, relaxing slightly. It was a pretty speech, but he choose to believe him. Ezio must have sunk time and effort to get established in the first place.]

No, you didn't. The fact that you care so deeply for this place did the opposite, truth be told.

[That's something he'll have to remember when he's trying to bring others to this place. This one spectacle of safety he's carved out of this place.]

I'm glad for that. Did you have any other questions about this place? I'd introduce you to Josephine, but she's quite busy as of late helping me run this place.

Josephine works here?

[His mouth twitches, and he chuckles quietly. He's never spoken to the woman, but he's heard a few things.]

No, you don't have to do that. If she comes around will be...something.

[He chuckles quietly, and brings out a piece of paper.]

I've had a donation from an anonymous source. This is the amount we'll be starting with.

[He puts it down. Fifty thousand.]

Are you comfortable handling this and more?

[He regards that reaction with a curious gaze at first, but dismisses it once he changes the subject. Bad blood perhaps? He didn't know and it wasn't his business unless it came up. Ezio takes the slip of paper and look at it, staring in initial surprise before he chuckles and passes it back to Chika.]

The short answer is yes, but perhaps you'd like to take a look at our vault to be assured that we can?

[He moves to rise, prepared to show him the vault and security boxes. Only those he trusted the most and those who worked here could be allowed to know the true workings of the security.]

[Not bad blood, not in the least. But he's heard some things, including she's not a woman to be trifled with. He takes the paper back and raises with the assassin.]

I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

[Likely he won't see everything, but that's fine with him. He just wants to observe enough to know the donations will be safe.]

[He moves to his office door and opens it, letting Chika out first before leading him down the steps to the vaults. The first room contains several security deposit boxes lining the walls and a larger vault at the very back of the room.]

Secure storage. And that vault at the back is where we keep currency. As you can imagine, I can't rightly show you the inside of that one. Limited access.

[He moves out, glancing around as he's lead to the vault. This was professional work, all by and large. And it looks nice.

He'd ask about who installed it, but he might sound foolish when he doesn't know the name.]

Of course. I'm guessing so far it's you and Josephine?

As far as running the place is concerned, si. I've employed some others because it's simply too difficult to run the place by myself. I'd like to have permanent employees though.

Of course. I'd recommend, but I don't know if that'd be a good idea.

[He blows out a breath, walking a little closer to the vault. It looks secure, but he doesn't know his amare well enough to test it out the other protections. With a shrug, he turns back.]

Looks good though. I've a couple of other places to check out, but I'll likely be calling you with the funds in a few days.

One step at a time, I think.

[He's a little surprised he had other options as far as banks were concerned, but it doesn't show on his face. Instead, he nods his understanding and walks with Chika out of the vault.]

I hope to hear from you soon, Chika. Thanks for stopping by.

[Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. He didn't want Ezio to think that he's the only option he had for now.

Though it likely is the only one he can trust.]

Thanks for meetin with me. Take care Auditore.

[And with that, he turns, leaving the Assassin to his banking.]
