"We could."

That's not a terrible idea. He's been to Aquila a few times for professional reasons but never really checked it out.

"Wonder what would happen if we did try that. Would they come and get us or just leave us there?"

[aquilus]

"It probably depends how committed they are to our freedom of choice. Or the illusion of it."

He has to wonder which option would win out in the end. It's even possible that leadership in Cadens might believe they support the former, but if push came to shove, give in to the latter.

"It's a moot point anyway." He chuckles and shakes his head. "I'm sure I would enjoy such a jaunt at first. But I'd soon start crawling up the walls without something to do with myself."

[catholica]

"You and me both."

It's enough right now tha the's not able to do as much as he's used to with his hands still healing. He's done his best to restrain himself and to not push it because he doesn't want to cause permanent damage.

But it's hard.

"I can't sit still for that long. It's not natural."

[aquilus]

Oh, does he relate. They may come from very different worlds, but in this, Altaïr is certain he and Matt see eye to eye. So to speak.

"Unnatural and unsatisfying. So we'll have to keep on as we are and keep an eye out for military action, rather than put them to the test by vacationing." Ha. He raises his glass in a mock toast. "Until then, I suppose there are worse things to do than share a drink."

[catholica]

"I can do that."

Share a drink and commiserate. It's one of the better things that he's gotten to do in the past few months so he'll take it. He'll share a drink and pretend like things are just fine.

Because they are. For the moment.
