Thank you for waiting! Muses wandered off to look at something shiny.

Part the Third, In Which Leonardo is worried and the Thieves and Dottores of Venezia are less than helpful

*-*-*

Although it felt like hours, the walk back to Leonardo's place took less than a quarter of an hour. Leonardo was glad it was the dinner hour; most Venetians did not see the odd, wet procession around the Rialto district.

The bottega door was swinging open when Leonardo arrived; he had fallen behind, shivering uncontrollably, so the Thieves had made their own way inside.

"My bed is through the curtains in the window alcove," Leonardo said, when he saw the thieves holding Ezio about to drop him on a work table. "He will be comfortable and safe there, should anyone unexpected enter the workshop."

"Bene," said Antonio, indicating to his boys to follow the instructions. He turned to Leonardo. "Rosa has gone for a Dottore we have use for; apologies amico for disregarding your suggestion, but I trust so very few that I find it best to stick with the devil I know."

Leonardo nodded; he was annoyed but far too cold and damp to act on it. The beak-masked Dottore arrived soon after, and ushered all the thieves out of Leonardo's - now Ezio's - bedroom. Leonardo took the opportunity to towel off and change into a new doublet and leggings; the ones he had worn he simply threw out, they stank so badly of the canal.

When he had dried off completely and warmed up sufficiently, Leonardo sought out Antonio and the Dottore: Leonardo, being an avid student of human sciences wanted to hear the man's opinion on treating Ezio. He was unlucky; the man had just left, leaving a small supply of potions to give the patient.

"A tartar emetic? Does he expect Ezio will take infection, then?" Leonardo asked Antonio.

The thief nodded. "It is highly likely, given that the canals have not had clean water in them in living memory, and he had three open wounds, all of which were exposed to the filth. Not to mention the bang on the head - it bled quite a bit, you know."

Leonardo nodded. "When he wakes, Ezio will not appreciate taking it: he hates vomiting."

"As though anyone enjoys puking their guts up?" Antonio asked sardonically. "And there's laudanum to dull any pain or even to sedate him if he gets violently delirious."

"Laudanum? An opiate? No, Ezio will not take an opiate. He avoids them like the plague."

Antonio's eyes widened. "But he has already taken some for the Dottore."

"That quack gave laudanum to a man with a head wound?" Leonardo bellowed in outrage. "He'll kill him! You've as good as killed him!"

Leonardo shoved past the slack-jawed thief and into the bad chamber. Ezio lay naked in the bed, but for the gauze strips bisecting his pale torso. His chest rose and fell in a fast, uneven rhythm, and he was sweating profusely. He tossed his head on the pillow.

Antonio followed Leonardo in, keeping his outrage to a harsh whisper. "How can you say that? What makes you think it was wrong to give laudanum to Ezio?"

"A ... A friend of mine, fell once, and took a nasty head wound. He was told to sleep it off; he went to bed and never woke up," Leonardo spoke softly, his big hands gently stroking Ezio's hair. "I always made Ezio stay awake and talking to me when he came to me with goose-eggs. It was the best way to keep him alive. Your presence here is no longer required."

"Maestro Leonardo," Antonio spoke placatingly, "he is a good man who has helped my thieves survive all these years, the Dottore is one to trust. He did what was best for Ezio."

"Where does he stand? Is there a herald nearby, bleating about the dreadful Assassino? Do they tack up posters featuring the thousand-florin bounty on Ezio's head beside his trolley?" Leonardo asked, eyes full of worry and disappointment. "I recall Ezio mentioning that some of your own people went over to the Barbarigo side, before you took the Seta."

Antonio blanched, and backed out of the room silently.

"Oh, Ezio," Leonardo sighed, "please wake up."

My Muses are Evil Muses

Anon accidentally the next part :-(

There was a bereavement, which has scared the Muses away, but this is *not* abandoned!

Part the Fourth, a short one in which Leonardo has another Moment of Awesome (TM), Rosa is worried and hiding it and Ezio is still unconscious.

*-*-*

Leonardo sat with Ezio for a few short minutes, alternately stroking his arm for comfort (whether for his comfort or Ezio's Leonardo did not rightly know) and examining the bandaged wounds for signs of infection or incompetent treatment. Fortunately, Antonio seemed to know how to patch up arrow wounds well enough, and the Dottore had done nothing to interfere with the dressings.

"Scusi, Leonardo?"

Leonardo jumped when Rosa spoke from the doorway.

"Yes, Rosa, what is it?"

"Is he - Will he - Antonio said Ezio ought not be sleeping. Do you think he might - " Rosa's voice died in her throat.

Leonardo shook his head. "I wish I could say, my dear, but Ezio is strong, and fond of proving people wrong. Perhaps... Would you sit with him for a time? I know he would like it."

Rosa shook her head, "mi dispiace, Leonardo, but I cannot. What if..."

"I must fetch my Dottore, and I dare not leave him unattended," Leonardo explained, using the soft tone of voice best suited to coaxing skittish colts. "I could never forgive myself if he woke alone, and I do not know how long I may be away from here."

Rosa nodded. "Be quick, Maestro."

Leonardo nodded agreement, cupped Ezio's cheek and brushed a strand of his fringe out of his eyes, then left. Rosa moved a chair over near the bed and picked up one of Ezio's hands, stroking the tendons between slack knuckles.

"You'd better not die, stronzo. If you do, God help me I'll kill you twice."

*-*

The bottega's unnatural quiet was rudely broken, not quite an hour after Leonardo had left it. There was a scraping and screeching not unlike the sound of a heavy chair or table being dragged across flagstones, paired with irritable (and frankly irritating) litany of complaints and whining. Rosa sighed and stood, heading out of the alcove to investigate.

"Leonardo! How did you..." Rosa once more lost the ability to speak.

The artist was carrying a Dottore's trolley into the workshop, followed by a flustered, irritable and uncannily parrot-like Dottore.

Leonardo placed the cart down near the door to the bedroom with a grateful sigh, rubbing his aching shoulders. He shrugged and gave Rosa a lopsided smile.

"It is not so very great a distance to the other side of the Piazza, and I used the wheels for some of the trip," he demurred bashfully.

"He lifted my cart," the Dottore sputtered in ire that seemed more like grudging admiration. "He carried it in."

"He is a marvel, our Leonardo," said Rosa with a confident smile.

"What of Ezio, Rosa?" Leonardo asked anxiously.

"No change. I think I scared him into staying asleep," she replied with a fraction of her usual boldness.

With a bittersweet half smile Leonardo reached out and squeezed her shoulder. "Grazie for staying with him, Rosa. Would you care for something to eat? There is a little in the kitchens at the back, just past the mortuary. Ah ... It would be advisable for you not to confuse the two rooms."

"I should think not," Rosa muttered and left the two men to their medicines and diagnoses.

*-*-*

Oh god this is spectacular! Leonardo is such a BAMF mother-hen! He'll make sure Ezio is okay. I love the way you made Leonardo strong in this fic. I think I may have swooned a little.

I hope you're going to continue! This is awesome!

Thank you!

I *am* eventually going to finish this, my Muses are just hiding right now.
