“the father and mother be enjoined to preserve their child from fire and water and all other dangers (until the age of seven years); and if they do it not, the godfathers and godmothers are held responsible” In which Lorenzo de' Medici is Ezio's godfather, following the time's custom to use godparenthood to create or strenghten familiar alliances, and we actually do something with the Medici and the Auditore's close ties. In which we keep in mind that Careggi is but an hour by foor from the centre of Firenze and Ezio sneaks in there after his family's arrest, seeking comfort and guidance (Lorenzo has heard of the whole ordeal, of course, but he expects there to be a trial, and considering the hold he has on the city's magistratures he knows how it will end). In which we consider that this is hapenning on the 28th of December, during Europe's little ice age, it's cold, maybe snowing (and Ezio's cold, growing colder as the snow on his clothes melts, now that he's inside). Or, I scream, @cerbin-aen-feainn and @sparrow-in-boots scream with me, and we all have a great time.
