Summary: Claudia is ... less than impressed with her new residence.

Claudia knows how to read a balance book – how to add up the pages of costs added in a none too steady hand, ink trailing over the volumes pages like a flooded battlefield and arrive at something near enough a total figure.

She also knows how to use her eyes, funnily enough, and while the Auditore villa and Monteriggioni around it is a refuge, it is not a well furnished one. Cracked plaster, shuttered windows, a market stall that is only open half the week. It's about as far from Firenze as one can get in a weeks ride on a horse.

Ezio better come back with more than vengeance in his pockets, is all she’s saying.
