          “It’s either you climb aboard now, or y’ let those Spanish dogs have you for keeps——.”

          Gaze was turned expectantly in the young Italian’s direction as he held to the deck of his own ship, waiting none-too-patiently for his crew to finish looting the crimson and gold-flagged brig. What a surprise it’d been when one of the sailors brought the fussy maiden from within the Spanish crew’s quarters—surely she didn’t belong with the lot of those villains.

          And surely she’d be held captive again if that ever-approaching sister ship in the East caught up with her nearly sunken counterpart.

          “Smartly, lass; we don’t got all day.”

Claudia straightened her back, chin held high as she returned the gaze of the other with her natural defiance; pride wounded, but still very much in tact. She’d been foolish… an idiota by her own standards, careless— and it had lead to her capture. Ezio would have yelled at her for such stupidity… as well he should. She was entirely to blame in this situation, for once. Humbling  as it may be, she only felt an overwhelming defensiveness  overtake her— laced with a flustered anger that had her seething.  Still…there wasn’t exactly much of a choice but to trust the burly  looking man before her, as he so clearly pointed out. What  else was there really to do? Wait to be taken again by those  luridi porci ? 

 ❝  Merda…  fine. ❞  Eyes moved around to observe the commotion surrounding  her, the various men salvaging whatever held value and carrying  it to the opposite vessel. She searched for some sort of weapon;  all hers had been stripped upon her capture by those spanish dogs, and she despised with all her being the feeling of helplessness. It didn’t take her long to decide on a silver knife stuck in one of the sunken ship’s deceased crew, the bastardo. There was a bit of a dark satisfaction when Claudia ripped the knife from his carcass, cool blood spraying her face and hands lightly in a gruesome  coat.

          But of course his words would go unheard.           She did say she was going with him, and           she was probably one of those stubborn           type of woman. With a sigh, he lowered           his head slightly as he rethought over his           words.

                                  She was just about to  snap something  at him                                   about men being unable to admit it when they                                   needed assistance, especially  from a woman,                                    when she realized it might not be  wise;  as he                                   could just use  her  words  as  ammo  to  shoot                                   back at her. Claudia Auditore wasn’t exactly                                   notorious for accepting help, either— so instead                                    she settled for a narrowed gaze from defiant                                    dark eyes.

"Ok fine, we can go together. But let me kill the captain, and light the fire, fire is dangerous. Also, if you are seen in the restricted area they might attack you, so its probably best to stay hidden. I also don’t know about letting you jump off the tower…"

{ ❈ } ———

   White hot irritation spread through the girl’s chest,   her expression twisting into one of disgust and frustration.   He really had so little faith in her abilities? Did he think her   w e a k? After everything they’d been through together? 

                     ❝ chiudi il becco !  I’m not a child, Ezio. I’m not                          going to sit back and let you take all the risk.                          Despite what you think, I can take care of                           myself. You’re my  BROTHER, not my                          father,  ❞  A part of her actually regretted the indirect mention of  their father; almost like she’d crossed a line that they’d both  had an unspoken agreement not to— but she wouldn’t  take it back. No… she was far too prideful for that, it would  require much more for Claudia to surrender her position.
