[b]Title: Master and Mentor[/b]

[b]Characters: Ezio Auditore and Azumi Ian[/b]

[b]Summary: Ezio Auditore da Firenze, having just left his world, arrives in Haven City's South Town. He aims to see how the InterAssassin Order is fareing under Azumi's leadership, and to help her find a way of setting up a communication system among the Order.[/b]

The crowds of Haven City's South Town region were large and closely packed enough for Ezio Auditore to conceal himself from the Krimzon Guard patrols as he wandered the area. He had been looking for any signs of the Haven City Assassins. While the task would have been difficult, seeing as how he had no idea how the current grandmaster handled robe appearance. But with his ability known as Eagle Sense, Ezio just had to look out for a person glowing blue, and then trail them back to their den.

Suddenly, Ezio caught the faint glow of blue footstep marks, all of which lead into an alley.

[i]How fortunate...[/i]

Walking into the alley, Ezio followed the footprint trail closely, and after an hour of walking, he found that the footsteps lead up a building beside the Hip Hog Saloon. He smirked, "It is comforting to know that she has kept with tradition..." Muttered Ezio, before scaling the building with the aid of his hookblade. Climbing onto the roof, Ezio saw a few loose planks. Pulling them aside, he let himself drop into the building and into a crowd of surprised men and women with large, pointy ears. Their clothing consisted of mismatched articles of clothing that resembled hooded robes, and Ezio assumed that the improvised assassin robes would do better to fool the intelligent Krimzon Guard.

The Assassins paid Ezio no mind, mostly because of his robes that resembled theirs marking him as one of their own.

Ezio kept looking into Eagle Sense, trying to single out the grandmaster of the den, whom he assumed would wear similar robes to the Assassins before him.
