*'''Ezio''': ''What do they want?''
The two embraced.

*'''Leonardo''': ''[[War Machines|War machines]]. I have constructed weapons for all the Borgia [[guards]] and other terrible monstrosities besides. They are very well designed, Ezio. Here.

*'''Ezio''': ''A hand pointing?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Yes, maestro.''
*'''Leonardo''': ''It’s pointing to where you should sit. So, sit!''
Ezio sat on the bench and Leonardo joined him. Ezio considered whether to buy another [[Hidden Blade]], a [[Metal Cestus|Climb Leap Glove]], or a [[poison]] [[dart]] attachment for the Hidden Blade in lieu of the [[Poison Blade]].
*'''Ezio''': ''Yes,'' maestro.

==Outcome==
==Outcome==
Ezio can now meet with Leonardo in different locations around Rome and purchase the Double Blade, Climb Leap Glove, and Poison Darts from Leonardo. Once Ezio destroys all the war machines, Leonardo will also create a [[Parachutes|Parachute]] for Ezio, which he can then purchase from any [[Tailor]].
Ezio reunited with Leonardo but learned the Borgia were forcing him to build war machines for Cesare's army. Despite this, Leonardo assured Ezio that he could remake the gear lost during the [[siege of Monteriggioni]] and arranged a secret communication method so they would know when and where to meet and exchange funds for equipment.
==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Just before Leonardo appears, Ezio approaches a cardboard box. [http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Cardboard_box This is one of the references in the ''Assassin's Creed'' series to the ''Metal Gear'' series.]
*Just before Leonardo appears, Ezio approaches some stacked [https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Cardboard_box cardboard boxes]. This is an allusion to the ''Metal Gear'' series character Solid Snake, who could hide from enemy guards in a cardboard box.
*When Ezio says ''Chi è lá?'' (Who is there?), the English subtitles in the in-game brackets are actually ''"Whos is there?”''
*If the camera was manipulated to show Ezio's face when the voice was calling to him, it could be seen that Ezio was saying Leonardo's line.
*If you turn and look at Ezio's face when the voice is calling to him, you can clearly see that Ezio is actually saying "Psst. Ezio, over here," not Leonardo.
*Even if Ezio does not purchase anything from Leonardo, the Double Blade still shows up in the Inventory menu's Weapons section for the rest of the game.
