Volpe:He was an ambassador to the Papal court and travelled as the personnal guest of Cesare himself. I also know he abandoned you right before the Villa attack.
Ezio:Machiavelli may not please all tastes, but he is an Assassin, not a traitor.

A thief whispers into La Volpe's ear.
Volpe:Ah. He is meeting someone in the Trastevere right now. Care to accompany me?

Volpe:What do you make of that?
One of the guards give Machiavelli a letter, which he takes and leaves the ally.
Saving Claudio

Volpe:I will kill these. Go! Get the others. (Pointing towards a group of archers on the opposite roof.)
Ezio kills all the guards in the ally and approches Claudio.
Ezio:Quick hide from the guards.
Claudio:I cannot. They are going to kill me.
Ezio:Pay attention. Do what I do.
Ezio and Claudio move along with the crowd unnoticed by the guards and reach the docks to meet Volpe.
Thief:Claudio! Molte grazie, Messere. (Thank you very much, Mister.)
Ezio:Keep out of sight for a while, intesì (understood)?
Volpe:The guards are looking for you.
Ezio:I see they have posters up.
Volpe:Then rip them down. You can pay the Heralds a few florins to silence them.
Ezio:Or I can elimate witnesses.
Volpe:You know how to disappear.
Renovation of the Guild
After losing his notoriety, Ezio returns to Volpe.
Volpe:What a night this has been.
Ezio:Volpe, listen to me. I know what we saw, but you have nothing to fear from Machiavelli, I am sure of it.
Volpe:I have you to thank for saving Claudio's life. If you believe Machiavelli remains loyal to the order, I trust you.
Ezio:So what of the thieves?
Volpe:We had plans to repair this old building but, now that you and I are working together, I would like to know what you think.
Ezio:We need to make sure the Borgia stay away. Perhaps it could look like an inn.
Volpe:Yes. Hmm, I like that idea.
Ezio:Then I will make it so.
