Ezio remembered having seen the message in the city, so carefully placed and so written in a format that the curious or those who understood would be interested in it. Upon hearing that his father followed through with the instructions, Ezio frowned slightly. He knew his father's reasons, but still...

"And who was this man?" the Assassin questioned. If his father knew the man, and if the man had a bracer... Well. It wouldn't be the first time that there would be a traitor in their midst. Far from it.

The addition of Templar threats, on top of the threats from both The Initiative and United Earth, only added to the severity of their current situation. There would need to be plans to keep the Templars in check, yet by circumstance, Ezio knew that whatever their previous alliances were, they would need to stand together for the greater threats.

Something that he was not so sure that would happen, not even in an ideal place.
