When Vito was answering Vanessa’s question, Viola also nodded in approval. She was as fine as she could probably be even if she didn't feel all joyful. The guard smiled to them and said :
"Well then, good luck on your new life and welcome to Rome once more. There are some inns along the main road if you need it. Or else you can rent some place or maybe some crafter you would work for, can lend you a part of their house to live in."
After a moment of hesitation, he then added, speaking to Vanessa while looking slightly embarrassed:
"You know, there are some painter workshops that are in need of some models. I don’t know if it’s a suitable place for young ladies or not, I’m not an artist and I don’t want to push you in some bad place, but I bet you would make a fine model. Your eyes are… special…"
He blushed even more while adding :
"… and beautiful. Sorry I don’t want to embarras you, signora but… I just… Whatever."
Fearing he spoke too much, the guard began to apologize to both Vanessa and Vito since he didn’t want to insult the father and daughter.
"Mi dispiace… Please carry on in the city. Mi dispiace… Have a nice day signore e signori…"
"You carry on yourself signore. Take care." The witch says as she has a small yawn and gets the horse moving to the North area of Roma. "The Vatican.. Maybe I can meet someone here while we settle in." She says to them as they move with a steady pace.

Vito chewed his lip. He had been worried when the guard tried to pay Vanessa a compliment, but it seemed this time it hadn't angered her. At least they where moving again, now. "A fine day to you as well." He nodded absently at the guard, relaxing a bit as the cart rolled on it's way. "Hrm? Meet someone?"

Viola thought by the small yawn Vanessa let go, that her adoptive mother must be used to men telling her she was beautiful. She was indeed and she must have been told that since two hundred years so she may be really bored. Viola also noticed Vito’s nervousness with the conversation but said nothing. She knew how tense were things between Vito and Vanessa but she knew it wouldn't degenerate anymore.
But when she heard Vanessa speak about the Vatican, Viola’s eyes slightly widened. Why the Vatican? Why would Vanessa, a witch, go to the Vatican? The young seer thought that it had been a while she couldn’t gaze into her orb to not alarm Vito and Adele, she only could gaze at the stars at night but without her orb, it seemed she failed to see this… Viola feared they would discover both her and Vanessa’s true nature and execute them. The Vatican was the one place in Rome they had to avoid…
Viola wanted to tell her foster mother to stop and not go there, she wanted to get off the cart and tell Vanessa that she would visit the city while they would see that person so she, at least, wouldn’t hang around the Holy place. Her white hair and red eyes… and Vanessa’s purple eyes… they will be looked at… That Pope seemed severe, he must be against malfested as well…
Yet pushing a little more her hair into her ugly bonnet to hide the abnormal color, she calmed down and told herself that Vanessa probably had a reason to go there, she wouldn’t go there just to be executed… She must have a reason, a friend… or maybe it was for something against her vampire nemesis… Whatever it was, Viola decided to come as well even if she knew she had to leave soon. She would not abandon Vanessa and beside, fleeing wouldn’t be a very dignified way to leave… Beside she didn’t hang on to life that much since she didn’t even remember her life… and she would trust Vanessa since the older woman, who had been very motherly toward her, would not throw her into such a danger, she was protective. Vanessa had a reason and maybe she wouldn't go already since they had to settle, unless it was on their way. So aside from the slightly surprised face she made sooner, Viola’s gaze returned to her normal, almost inexpressive stare and she said nothing.

Vanessa turns to Vito and has a small look of anger. "Does it matter? And yes I am going to meet someone. My sister's lover. He is apart of the Vatican as a Paladin." The witch said to Vito with a mildly angry tone, sure she could just whack Vito out cold again. But she really didn't want anyone to know who she was visiting. But she had to tell them. "He can give me a little hand locating that person I was looking for." She says again. Calming her tone down a little.

Vito snorted as Vanessa's temper flared again. "Well, yes. I would in fact say it matters, since it will decide where we are going next." He raised one bushy eyebrow. "To an inn? To find some place to rent? Or to wherever this friend of yours is?"

Must we all go to meet that man, maman?" Asked Viola who was still nervous at going near the Vatican.
"Maybe we should wait for you someplace near and maybe look for some place to live?"
She then added not wanting to abandon Vanessa if she was in trouble but since she had a friend it may be less dangerous:
"Unless you want us to be there."
Maybe that man knew places to live, thought Viola who also suddenly wondered how was that sister’s lover. The sister was supposedly a strange and inquisitive person, was the lover as well? Or on the contrary a quiet and very discret man? Yet she never saw Alice, she may imagine her in a scarier way than she really was… Still wondering, Viola gazed down her wrapped orb that still looked like a bundle of fabric. It has been such a while she didn’t use it…

"Only if you guys want to meet him. I know the Vatican is not the best place to be at for our cases sweetie but he can give us a place to live if he is cooperates." Vanessa said while amused at the last time she met him. She practically made him beg in mercy to let go of his arm as she twisted it pretty good so she started to take the wagon to a near by area where she can keep an eye out for the wagon and talk to her sister's lover.

Adele coughed quietly. "Well.. If he might give us somewhere to live, I suppose we should meet with this person." She shifted nervously, feeling somewhat out of sorts.

If he cooperates? Viola wondered what kind of relation had Vanessa with her 'brother-in-law' so to say but hearing Adele's answer she decided to not say anything. She will see what will happen. But the Vatican really didn't seem a safe place for them... Many Pontifical Swiss guards were already staring at them as the wagon approached and Viola had a bad feeling about this.

Vanessa moves the cart to the Vatican. Hoping to meet Chesire or one of his fellow members of his group. "Forgive me everyone but this might get loud." The witch puts her fingers to her mouth and gives a loud whistle, louder then what it was suppose to be. "Chesire Euzika! Where in the Holy name are you!? Alice is sick and you left her in Florence! You dastard!" She shouted loudly to the heavens near the Vatican. Hoping to get Chesire to come out.

Adele and Vito started, shooting each other a glance before saying as one "Err... We'll just..." "Across the street, at a cafe." "Wouldn't want to interrupt a reunion like this..." The two babbled together as they carefully hopped off the cart, scurrying away to let Vanessa deal with whatever she called out on her own.

As Vito and Adele left the cart, Viola wondered if she should as well. But not wanting to abandon her adoptive mother, she stayed sitting in the cart as some guards came toward them holdng their halberds. Beside she knew this Chesire would come and talk to the guards. She just hoped he had some influence here. One of the guards seemed angry as he shouted :
"Hey! What are you doing, yelling like this? How unrespectful! You're near the Vatican, behave yourself!"
The guard also thought that it seemed like some scandal. He didn’t know everybody in the Vatican but thought this Chesire must have had a lover that he got rid of, he spurned her and left her in Florence and now that woman who must be a friend or family of this Alice, was yelling it everywhere to give that man and the Vatican a bad reputation. He didn’t care about Vito and Adele fleeing, in fact he wanted them all to do this.
"Go away, go away before we give your a lesson!"
Viola then said:
"Maman, we should begin to go and our friend will come."

Vanessa looked at the guard of the Vatican and just shrugged. "What lesson? You guards aren't allowed to do anything about the situation of someone yelling for a person in the Vatican." She says in a rather amused tone.
A light ebony haired man stepped behind the guard and tapped his shoulder, his uniform being white and blue. Instead of the standard red linings of a regular Vatican guard. "I got this soldier. Don't need to yell at her and the little girl. Now go before I give you the drill exercises to run from here to Il Colosseo. Do you?" The man says in a stern voice as a captain should be using. And then he looks at Vanessa with an annoyed tone in his eyes.

Vito and Adele sped up their retreat as the guards started yelling, shooting back shocked glances as she started mouthing off to a guard. Vanessa really had no sense of tact or subtlety at all! It was a wonder she hadn't been arrested or killed before now. Still, it seemed like she'd gotten what she wanted, another person arriving after the guard. Best to give them privacy, then. A small market or cafe would be a good place to rest while the strange travelers conducted their business.

Viola was relieved to see the captain coming. She knew guards could hit anyone for any reason, she didn’t remember where she realized or experienced that but she really didn’t trust guards and that guard seemed like he wanted to do something bad to Vanessa with the offended way he was looking at her when she replied. But his expression changed as Alice’s lover came. He suddenly looked embarrassed and saluted his captain.
"Yes, captain!"
And after glaring at Vanessa, the guard left and the other guards who stayed a little farther walked away as well. Still sitting in the cart, Viola noticed the annoyed gaze the captain had and wondered once more what kind of relation he had with Vanessa. Did he really left Alice as she was sick?
She also wondered how old she really was. She had the feeling she was at least a teenager, yet everybody called her little girl… Did she looked that young? But she did look like a teenager... whatever. Maybe it was because she was sitting quietly in the cart and looked like a some shy person or something. But it was the way she was and she still kept quiet as she listened to the conversation between Vanessa and Chesire as they spoke together. For a moment,she gazed toward where Vito and Adele went then turned toward Vanessa once more. They would come back or she and Vanessa would find them later…
