Leo walked through the streets with confidence in each step. The wind blew though his hair, curls getting in his face. Despite the brute he was, he walked with elegance and grace. The crowd was small, making it easier for him to move through without any problems. The further he walked, the bigger the crowd got. A raspy sigh escaped from his chapped lips. His eyes suddenly became wide when he saw a young man run towards him, slipping his hands into his pockets.He knew it wasn't a thief, the young lad wore all red. A few curse words escaped in Italian. He spun around and chased the man down the street. Leonardo slammed into people, some falling to the ground. The man in red knew if Leonardo tackled him to the ground, he would knock a few teeth out due to the nature of mercenaries. Soon enough Leo tackled him to the ground, pinning him down. He snatched the bag of coins from his hands and slipped it into his pocket. Leo's fist hit him in the jaw, blood leaking from the corners of his mouth. Leo got to his feet and left the man to get up on his own.
Like nothing happened, he walked away and continued on with his day. He leaned on the wooden walls of the tavern to take a breath. His tilted his head back, purring softly. Leonardo walked into the tavern, smelling the strong sent of alcohol. It used to make him cough and gag but after many years of spending hours in taverns, he learned to enjoy it.

| ♚Marcello couldn't help but snicker at the pickpocket, fool thinking that he could get away with something so daring. Running straight into a mercenary of all people? Tongue darting out to lick his lips, he watched how the mercenary exerted his strength and left the pickpocket in the street. Scampering down from his position on the roof he felt a spark of arousal run through him, though took a minute to keep his composure. Running a hand through his hair he slipped out of the alley and toward the tavern, perhaps thinking about playing a game.
Slipping into the tavern he flashed a feral grin to several of the regulars and cautiously approached the mercenary. He leaned against the bar, fingers dancing around his belt and slowly sliding into his coin purse. Perhaps he wasn't as sly as he thought he was, feeling a very solid and strong hand clamp around his wrist. Alarm shooting through his veins, he batted his eyelashes and drew doe-eyes up at the mercenary, biting his lip for good measure.

It took Leo only seconds to realize what was happening once again. He took a deep breath and turned to face the thief. He grabbed the boy's wrist with a vice grip. His eyes didn't leave his, his brow was slightly raised. He wasn't too angry, not enough to get violent like the last time. "Tsk, tsk, tsk," he quietly clicked his tongue in a sort of playful disappointment. "You are very brave for doing this if you saw the last man who did the same thing," he scoffed, releasing his wrist. He couldn't help to smile at his bravery, though. Leo was much taller then him and probably much stronger then him. He admired bravery of all kinds. The fact that he was bold enough to pickpocket a mercenary was rather impressive. Although, many mercenaries were too dull to tell if they were getting their pocket picked even if the thief warned them beforehand. He let out an annoyed sigh, leaning back in his chair. "Two drinks," he snapped at the bartender. He nodded yes, knowing Leonardo wouldn't harm him. He has never harmed an innocent, if any of his men did, their punishment would be life threatening.
His gaze went back to the young lad who attempted to pick his pocket seconds ago. The bartender placed two drinks beside Leo. He pushed one over to the thief. "You took nothing. I'll let it slide, you look like just a child," he chuckled deeply. Leo pushed his hair out of his face, the wave on agitation was gone. "Do you have a name?" he asked, looking over at the thief.

| ♚Rubbing his now sore wrist he took a seat next to the mercenary, glancing down at the drink placed in front of him. "Come now I simply jest. I did see what you did, it was very impressive. Not many men have that kind of resolve." Eyes downcast, he took his time covertly gazing at the man appreciatively, feeling a shiver run up his spine. Chewing on his lip he took his drink and sipped at it slowly, feeling the burn run down his throat and pool in his stomach. Curling his toes he smacked his lips, thinking about his very slowly growing reputation in Venezia. "Marcello il Mouse." His grin was a bit cocky, though good-intended. "The courtesans call me bambino or Marcellino sometimes though, and I like to think I'm not exactly a child. Seventeen is the good medium between man and child wouldn't you say?"
He leaned back and pushed back his shoulders, quietly wondering if perhaps he'd found a friend amongst the pious. Of course it was the images of what could happen to him if he were outed that kept him quiet and innocently attentive, though he did indeed feel a bit restless. As he didn't quite reach the floor from the stool, he swung his legs back and forth slightly, the heel of his boot hitting the stool leg with a dull thud.

Leonardo tilted his head back, downing the strong liquor. He laughed, and a smirk lingered on his face afterwards. "And you were still bold enough, eh? Such bravery it seems is uncommon in thieves," he said as he took another drink
He licked his lips, downing another shot of alcohol. When he heard the name, he raised one brow. "Marcello il Mouse? That sounds the slightest bit familiar," he paused for a moment.
"Courtesans? You've charmed them into giving you a nickname? They don't even think I'm that special," he joked, his mind wandering to the lovely ladies at the brothel.
He noticed Marcello's feet didn't reach the ground. A grin was painted across his face, he tried not to giggle. He forgot that some people weren't as tall as him. He loomed over most people.
He ran his fingers through the thick mess of curls on his head, realizing he'd forgotten his manners by not introducing himself in return. "I'm Leonardo Rizzardi, by the way. Leader of the Florentine Mercenary's guild," he said the last part with a beam of pride.

| ♚Marcello shrugged, grinning with pride at the thought of being the ladies favorite. "It must be my cute face. They seem to love it." He chuckled under his breath and leaned forward on the bar. He admitted he was impressed by Leo's status, and his tongue darted out to wet his lips. "Leonardo." He purred out,rolling the r as best he could taking way too much pleasure in how it sounded on his tongue. Grinning slightly, his lips twitched when he thought about where exactly they were. "Wait a moment....if you control the Florentine guild.....why are you in Roma?" He tilted his head curiously,staring up at Leo with wide eyes entirely focused on the mercenary.

Leo smiled, pushing away the clear glasses. "Hm, most of them just adore me." He replied, tapping his nails on the wooden desk.He glanced up, his eyes looking like diamonds. Leo looked directly into Marcello's eyes, his innocent face reminded him of the children he had met in his many years of exploring the world. "Right... I was requested to the aid a few independent mercenaries..." He paused for a moment, thinking about helping them. "And I wanted to see Roma again, it has been many moons since I have been here." He smiled, pausing for a moment. "I have countless memories here, I must say." He thought back to his childhood friends he had made in these parts, he missed them so much. It brought sorrow in his heart, but his lips were curled into a smile. "Do you live in Roma?" He asked, suddenly becoming more interested in the young thief.

| ♚"Do I..." He tilted his head, a sly smile stretching across his face. He drew patterns on the counter with his fingertips, shaking his head slowly. "No, I'm from Venezia. Well, technically as a thief I don't really live anywhere, I typically just try to find somewhere to hide under when it gets dark. I'm just in Roma to travel and make some money. I do miss it though, the canals were my favorite. There was this older gondola boatman who used to give me free rides under the afternoon sun, taking naps on the water is the best feeling." Marcello gazed over the counter with a wistful gaze, smiling with reminiscence. He really missed Venezia, and knew he had to get back there soon. He sighed slightly and shook his head. "I'll be leaving Roma to go back soon, I miss it too much. Maybe I can sneak into the old glasswork's factory that shut down, I can stay there a while."

Leo leaned forward a little bit, listening to every word Marcello said. "If it was anyone else I would feel bad.. but with you, you seem to stay on the positive side." He said, a warm smile was painted across his face. He raised his brow, tilting his head to the side. "I fell out once, at least it was a hot day." Leo laughed, pushing his hair out of his face. "That sounds wonderful, I used to walk with my girlfriend on the side walks beside the water, I pushed her in once. She was pissed off, but she forgave me. I hope all goes well with you, my friend. I'm only in Roma for a short time, sadly. I have many friends I'd like to see again, I sometimes wonder if they are dead... All of them were Assassins and mercenaries, may they find peace where ever they are. Oh? I might be going there in the coming months, I might see you." Leo smiled hopefully, knowing he had made friend in Venezia.

| ♚Marcello released a breath he didn't quite realize he was holding, slightly offput by the mention of an ex. A woman no less. But who was he kidding? Sodomy was illegal, a crime. He nodded numbly, his mind racing a million miles a minute as he plastered the biggest grin he could on his face. "If they passed, they passed honorably." He made eye contact with a theif, who glanced at the window while nodding his head. Noticing the patrolling guards changing stations, Marcello's gaze sharpened as he realized how late it had gotten. Standing up slowly he hesitantly placed a friendly hand on leo's shoulder. "I must go, duty calls. I shall see you soon friend." With that farewell, he slipped out of the tavern and collected his daily profits from the unsuspecting people of Roma.
