Navy Reader x Ezio part 2

You hesitated as Ezio lead you inside the rather large house, You knew staying with a bunch of strangers was not exactly the safest option, but what else could you do? You were in a strange country, with, racist as it may sound, strange people, you hadn't seen any hotel near by and you had no euros. "Sure your family won't mind?" You asked.

"Nah, I'm sure they'll be fine, at least I think they will be."

"Great, you sound confident!" You said, rolling your eyes, you really hoped this would work out, after all you had no where else to stay. Ezio lead you into, what you presumed was a lounge. Sitting in two chairs by the fire. were two middle aged people, a women with very dark long hair and a man with longish, very fair brown hair. They were also dressed, strangely. There was a young man, a few years older than Ezio. He was sitting on the floor next to a small boy, about 10 years old, maybe? There was also a girl, about 15 maybe. She was sitting sewing. All of the younger, siblings you guessed, had dark hair and were also dressed strangely. The clothing around here was starting to get to you, but you had learnt from your experience with Ezio earlier, do not insult Italians clothing. Maybe it was just the little flirt being image conscious, but still you thought it best to keep your mouth shut about it.

"Madre, padre." (Mother, father.) He greeted, as the two of you walked in. Everybody in the room looked up, rather shocked. Odd, you thought Ezio often came back with random ladies. Maybe it was your clothing?

"Ezio Chi è questo, signorina? (Who is this, young lady?) His father asked, trying to suppress his look of surprise.

"Questo è una ragazza che ho conosciuto in città (This is a girl I met in town) He explained, gesturing to you.

Before his mother could say another word, the young man, who you presumed was Ezio's older brother, was over to you, kissing your hand. "Un tale piacere si incontrano bella signora, io sono Federico." (Such a pleasure meet you beautiful lady, I am Federico) You pulled your hand away quickly, which caused Federico to look a little dejected. The more you glanced discreetly around the room, the more concerned you were becoming. The house was not.....normal, no TV, no electric lights, nothing modern at all, the clothes were so old looking, there were no cars in this whole place it seemed. You were becoming more aware and militant by the second. The more you thought about, the less it made sense.

"E chi sei tu, cara?" (And who are you, dear?). Ezio's mother asked, in a calm tone. Maybe she could see your growing concern? Clearly she was not satisfied with Ezio's, 'girl I met in town' answer, no doubt she'd heard it many a time before.

"Tenente Comandante (Y/L/N)" (Lieutenant Commander). You said, giving a breath nod. Ezio's mother and father exchanged looks of confusion. Even Federico's silly flirtatious grin slid off his face. Ezio, the little boy and the girl also looked in utter confusion at your answer. You sighed at the looks you were getting, what was wrong with them? Fucking hell, hadn't they ever seen a navy solder before? You were seriously beginning to wonder.

"Ezio una parola per favore, mio figlio?" (a word please, my son?) His father asked, getting up, Ezio nodded and followed him out of the room.

Great, now you were left with the his mother and siblings, alone. This wasn't going to be at all awkward or difficult.
You stood in an uncomfortable silence, until finally Federico spoke up. "Così bella, di dove sei?" (So beautiful, where are you from?) He said, giving you a stupid smirk and playful wink. Oh hell, you wished he'd stop that dumbass behavior.

"America." You answered plainly, making your face as emotionless as possible. You didn't need unnecessary conversation with this guy right now. It was not exactly a good time.

"Dove, non ho mai sentito parlare di un posto del genere?" (Where, I have never heard of such a place?) His eyes trailing up and down you, as he spoke.

"America, U.S.A, stati uniti." (united states) Surly someone here knew what America was? Right?

"Mi dispiace bella, no, no e no (I'm sorry beautiful, no, no and no.) He said, shrugging.

"Non importa." (never mind.) You muttered. After that Ezio and his father returned. Thank goodness for that, no more awkward talks with Federico. Though knowing today's luck, you would get kicked out of the house or something, you thought. But thankfully, you had thought wrong.

Ezio walked over to you "Father, said you can stay the night." He said, smiling from ear to ear.

"Molte grazie, signore." (Many thanks, sir.) You said, nodding at his father.

"Credo che sono necessarie introduzioni appropriate." (I believe proper introductions are needed.) His father said.

"Si." (yes) His mother added.

"Sono Giovanni Auditore (I am.) His Father said. "Questa è mia moglie Maria (This is my wife) Ezio's mother smiled warmly at you.
Hai alreadey incontrato Federico e di Ezio. Questa è mia figlia Claudia e il mio figlio più giovane Petruccio (You have already met Federico and Ezio. This is my daughter Claudia and my youngest son Petruccio.)

You tried to remember all the names, by making a mental list in your head; Giovanni - Ezio's father, Maria -Ezio's mother, Federico and Petruccio- Ezio brothers and Claudia Ezio's sister. Got it, you thought.

"E qual è il tuo nome bella signora?" (And what is your name beautiful lady?) Federico asked.

"Il mio nome è (Y/N) (Y/L/N)" (My name is)

"Un bel nome." (a lovely name.) Federico said.

"Madre, padre mi permetta di mostrarle nella stanza degli ospiti." (Mother, father allow me to show her to the guest room.) Ezio said. They nodded and Ezio turned to look at you. "Come with me bella." Ezio said, leading you out of the room.

"How on earth did you convince your father to let me stay?" You asked, as Ezio lead you towards some stairs.

"What do you mean bella?" He asked.

"Well I didn't seem to make a good impression." You pointed out sarcastically.

"No you were fine, just a little....cold. After all you were addressing Auditore's. A most respected family around here signora, a few manners wouldn't go a miss you know."

You resisted the desire to roll your eyes. "I see, can I ask why are 'they' so respected?"

"Father works at the Medici's bank and is a personal friend of Lorenzo. "

"Lorenzo?" You asked.

"Lorenzo de Medici." Ezio explained.

"Wait." You froze. Wasn't he the ruler of Florence in the 1400's? Today was turning out to be really weird.

"What's wrong bella?" Ezio asked, as he lead you up several flights of grand stairs.

"Nothing Ezio, I'm fine." You didn't want to ask, this was just to strange. Lorenzo, no. You would have to wait until morning to figure this shit out.

"Okay, well this is your temporary room." He said, stopping at a door, smiling as he showed you in. The room like everything in the house, was very old fashioned.

"Its nice." You said, forcing a smile at the cluttered decor.

Thankfully, Ezio seemed to think you actually liked it. "Bene, now is there anything else that you need to know." (good) He said, looking around.

"Ugh, yeah where's the head?"

"The...the head?" He questioned, his accent becoming thicker as he spoke.

"Yeah, the head."

"Not sure I understand your English there bella. You mean una testa?" (a head?) He asked, looking more than just confused.

"No Ezio, I mean the bathroom, toilet, place where you shit. Whatever you want to call it." You said rolling your eyes.

Ezio blushed a little, beginning to fidget at your question. "Th..T..There is..a..umm.a be..ch.. chamber pot under the bed." He stuttered, a little taking back by your bluntness.

"Eww, can't you rich people afford toilets? Wait don't answer that, I don't want to know."

"Ummm, you'll need some night cloths." Ezio said, eager to change the subject.

"Ugh, yeah, I guess. Thanks."

"I'll go ask mother or my sister." He walked out muttering. "What does a head have to do with that sort of business anyway?"

You waited looking around the room, it was slightly creepy, just how old fashioned it was. You tried to search for light switches, anything modern, but found nothing. Ezio then returned followed, by yet another strange face.

"(Y/N) this is Annetta, the family maid." Ezio explained. "So any 'female' questions like the one earlier, ask her not me. Va bene?" (okay?)

"Men shit too Ezio, fucking hell, it was a normal question!"

Ezio looked a little taken a back. "I'm glad Annetta cannot understand English. You talk strange for a lady." He said.

"You look strange for a man." You threw back.

"What?" His eyes looked genuinely hurt.

"The tight trousers Ezio..." You laughed slightly. He just looked more insulted. "Damn Ezio, It was a joke. Relax, you look, umm....fine."

Annetta then handed you a dress, thingy? "Ecco una camicia da notte per voi perdere" (Here is a nightgown for you miss.) She said, handing the dress thing to you. In a word it was, hideous. The nightdress was an off white colour, frilly, long and very puffy, yes puffy was the word that came to mind.

"Ugh...grazie." You said, reluctantly taking it from her. She smiled at you and left.

"Well now bella, I shall leave you to sleep." Ezio said.

"Thanks for convincing your father to let me stay, I'm grateful."

"Nessun problema. We shall speak more in the morning." (No problem.) Then he left.

You looked around the dimly lit room, the candles were casting a eerie glow over the room. You decided to just sleep in your shirt and pants, it was better than wearing that other.....thing. After all who knows where its been? You wondered over to the large double bed and crawled in, under its heavy blankets, blowing out the candles as you did so. Now the room was fully submerged in the nights inky black darkness. You lay awake, questions swimming in your mind, today's events were not making any sense. You tried to relax, you knew that you needed sleep. You could worry about this in the morning. You didn't really feel safe sleeping in a strangers house though, so you wriggled out of bed, and plodded over to a chair that was in the room. It was heavy, quality wood. You wedged it against the door, just encase. "There, get past that without waking me up." You muttered. It was not that you didn't trust the Auditore's, but you didn't know them, so caution was necessary. Right? Finally your heavy eyelids slipped shut and you drifted into sleep.....
