[k] @Da Vinci My family were notaries in the village of Vinci. Had been for generations. They were pretty well off, all things considered. [k] @Da Vinci My parents were never married. My mother, Caterina, was beautiful, but she was also a peasant. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci Back then, there was no way she or my father, Messer Piero, could possibly have been permitted to make their love official. [k] @Da Vinci In other's eyes, she just wasn't good enough. I don't want to say it because it's too crass. But...that is essentially what people thought of their love. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci Still, that didn't stop them from having a beautiful child together. [k] [messageOff] [charaFace A 4] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci This is me, Leonardo. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci And boy was I cute! I think. But according to what I've heard, and considering what I look like now, how could I not have been? [k] @Da Vinci Yeah, what am I saying? Of course I was adorable.[sr]Let's just leave it at that. [k] [messageOff] [charaFace A 0] [wt 1.2] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci Getting back to my mother, Caterina... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci ...she married another man after she gave birth to me. They had many children of their own. That's all well and good. [k] @Da Vinci It was certainly better than continuing in a relationship that could never lead to marriage, and she didn't have to worry about me. My grandfather and uncle on the[sr]Da Vinci side took care of me. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci I grew up healthy and happy, and it wasn't long before my abundant talents started helping me accomplish amazing things... [k] @Da Vinci ...but I never forgot about my mother. It wasn't an obsession, really. But I thought about her often. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci I think it was Botticelli who said that “enough is plenty”? It certainly sounds like something he'd say. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci Anyway, when I was about forty or so, my mother fell ill. She died shortly thereafter. [k] @Da Vinci I had a bit of money back then,[sr]so I tended to her sometimes. [k] @Da Vinci That is why I was able to be there when she finally slipped off. Oh, I held her funeral as well. It was a rather nice funeral, at that. [k] [messageOff] [charaFace A 0] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci ...Strangely, I can't recall whether I cried at all.[sr]Truly. [k] @Da Vinci I barely remember it at all.[sr]Still...I think I probably did. [k] @Da Vinci I was still a strapping young lad of forty back then, after all, so I must have been more sensitive. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci Most importantly... [k] @Da Vinci ...I wasn't the universal genius[sr]back then that I am now.

[charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Huh? Me? I wonder why that could have happened. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci I must say, I don't recall it. Of course, there's no reason for me not to take you at your word. [k] @Da Vinci It could be that our connection is much stronger now that we have a contract that allows me to accompany you in battle. [k] @Da Vinci Anyway, I'm flattered! Sorta irritating that you're not able to control it, but that aside... [k] [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci ...we should be glad our Master is having new and interesting experiences!

[k] @Da Vinci I couldn't get our conversation[sr]from earlier out of my head. [k] [messageOff] [charaTalk on] [wt 0.7] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci So...I'm curious who I was talking to you[sr]about...you know, in that dream you had. [k] @Da Vinci First, though, I should apologize. I think I had it figured out as far as who it was once you dropped that little hint. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci I just didn't want to get into it there in[sr]the Command Room with so many people around. [k] @Da Vinci Even if I'm just filling in, I'm still their boss. It's hard to talk about sentimental stuff around them. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci ...Holmes? Well, you know him. I'm sure he's[sr]got this whole thing figured out already. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Da Vinci Anyway! Like I said,[sr]I'm pretty sure I know who it was. [k] @Da Vinci I was talking about my mother, right? [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.7] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci ...Caterina of Vinci village.[sr]My beautiful mother. [k] @Da Vinci She never did get a chance to raise me,[sr]but she still brought me into this world. [k] @Da Vinci She's the woman who gave me life.[sr]I loved her so much, and I'm sure she loved me too. [k] ?1:Your mother... @Da Vinci Yup. [k] ?2:Did she look like you do now? [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci Hehe. Who knows?[sr]Though I AM pretty sure she had a lovely smile. [k] ?! [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci Things were...complicated. She was my mother,[sr]yes, but she could never marry my father. [k] @Da Vinci Maybe I've already told you about this[sr]within that dream, so I'll be brief... [k] @Da Vinci ...[sr]... [k] @Da Vinci ...I spent the last years of my[sr]mother's life with her in Milan. [k] @Da Vinci I was doing pretty well for myself back then, so I took steps to bring my birth mother to live with me. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci Not long after, she got so sick she collapsed. I remember going a little out of my mind, not knowing what to do... [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci Looking back, I realize I may have foolishly[sr]been responsible for shortening her life. [k] @Da Vinci It'd be a lie to say I didn't regret that,[sr]but still... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci ...I wouldn't trade those two years[sr]in Milan with her for anything. [k] @Da Vinci ...[sr]... [k] @Da Vinci How familiar are you with my paintings?[sr]Ever heard of one I did called “Virgin of the Rocks”? [k] ?1:Not really, sorry... [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci It's one of my better ones. I'll show you sometime... [k] ?2:Is it displayed in London, or Paris? [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci Both. Although, my apprentice did[sr]one of them...I think? I'm not sure. [k] ?! @Da Vinci I painted it in Milan, a few years before I had my mother come live with me. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out... [k] @Da Vinci ...but I also went waaay past the deadline on it. Things happened, you know? And I ended up delayed so long all you could do was laugh! [k] @Da Vinci Hm? That's no laughing matter?[sr]Well, yeah, you're right. It's not. [k] @Da Vinci Boy was the priest who commissioned it pissed! Then again, I was pretty pissed too once I saw what he wanted to pay me for it! [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci ...[sr]... [k] @Da Vinci ...As the name suggests, it's a painting of the[sr]Virgin Mary, the Madonna, sitting among some rocks. [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.7] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci I think...when I was making it, I must have[sr]been longing for some maternal presence myself. [k] @Da Vinci That's how it seems to me now, anyway,[sr]with the benefit of hindsight and all. [k] @Da Vinci While I was painting the Madonna, I started to miss my own mother, so much so that I ended up having her move out to Milan to live with me. [k] @Da Vinci I'm sure you've heard the saying,[sr]“No use crying over spilled milk”? [k] @Da Vinci Me, I've always had a different take on it: “You can't put spilled water back in the pot.” I think that's about the perfect summary of human life. [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.5] [charaFace A 5] @Da Vinci ...Although, if I'm being really honest...I think[sr]I might like the way Sun Tzu put it the best: [k] [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
