Viola asked the old man and Adele:
"So you both expect the soldiers to come back in about three to five days, to get some kind of revenge and then to leave for a while?"

"Eh, who knows. They'll come back, certainly, to flex their muscles and scowl a lot so that we know they're very scary and tough, and not to be trifled with, so that we'll forget that they ran with their tails between their legs from a single woman."
Adele gave him another pointed glare. "And they're sure to make an example out of anyone as rude and outspoken about criticizing the Doge as you are."

Vanessa gives a nervous smile. Seeing the tension between the old man and the woman. "I rather not say anything right now about that remark." Vanessa says to them.

Viola looked at the old man while speaking:
"Once more, your caretaker is right. Not only you do not seem to fear them enough, but your son was part of the prisonners and you are now giving shelter to two strangers. We have nothing to do with this but as you already said, the other villagers are cowards, so they will try to get some scapegoat. You are well chosen for this."
Somehow Viola also had the feeling the old man would pay for this and maybe Adele too. The old man should listen to his caretaker...
"Do you know where your son went? You should follow him."

The old man grumbled a bit, busying himself with his soup and not responding to either of them, outnumbered. Adele gave Viola a brief but warm smile, glad to have someone backing her up. "Sadly, no. We know he left the kingdom, but aside from still being in Italy, we have no idea where he might be."

Viola listened to Adele while thinking: Of course, it all happened so suddenly, the son left in a hurry, they did not prepare some plan in case of leaving in an emergency...
She said nothing more. The old man seemed annoyed and it was his choice if he wanted to stay. She only gave a sad gaze to Adele when the young woman gave her a warm but brief smile.
Viola feared for Adele who was staying because of the old man even she really wanted to leave. Yet the person most in danger was the old man that she didn't even know the name, or forget it if he said it, he was the first scapegoat, Adele would mostly be in danger if she opposed the soldiers. Viola had the feeling that tired by the doge's rule, not knowing if he would see his son again, the man seemed to be waiting for death now.
But Viola shut up. She gave them some advice, they were free to follow it or not, it was none of her business and she finished her meal and her milk.

Vanessa finishes her wine and smiles warmly. Knowing that she is full from her meal and her wine. But she looks at the old man and the girl with a sigh. "I guess you won't be able to find your son huh? So sad." She says as the wine is making her body relax gently.

Viola had finished eating and looked at her adoptive mother finishing her wine while thinking : I really drank wine in my previous life… I do remember… I think…
She then muttered almost to herself :
"Hum… So for the doge to not come here, he should be busy with something else. Well, his men must be as well… But if his army is busy with more important problems, he won’t take the time to send his men here. It must be something that could take his time and efforts for this…"
Viola had a vision of Soul Calibur when she met Soul Edge. The woman incarnated sword seemed dressed in a Greek way… Viola had assumed or somehow had the feeling the spirit sword was in Greece. Maybe she had to go there… Yet she would never be able to go there before the soldiers returned here… She may have powers but as she knew, she didn't have any teleportation powers…

The old man sighed, letting his spoon hit his empty bowl with a clink. "Aaaah... No, I wouldn't be able to find him. Which is why I'll stay here until he comes back. Even if I die, I'll be buried here in this village. No matter what, he'll know how to find me." He nods, apparently satisfied with that line of logic. Adele rubbed her forehead, annoyed. "I swear. I should just tie you to a post and have you carried off in a cart." She gave a small bow and starts collecting empty plates, nodding at the soup tureen. "Eat as much as you like. I'll draw you two a bath." She shot the old man another annoyed glance. "And you can take your bath in the morning, or just go stand outside in the rain if you're so stubborn. Give these poor girls some peace without having to worry about dirty old men." The old man grunted noncommittally at the accusations and pulled an old carved wooden pipe from his vest, rummaging about for his tobacco pouch, slouching back in his chair.

"Aaaah... No, I wouldn't be able to find him. Which is why I'll stay here until he comes back. Even if I die, I'll be buried here in this village. No matter what, he'll know how to find me."
Viola shook her head and said softly:
"Your son will come back but you have to be a little careful to be able to see him back… A time of turmoil will happen. Every stars in the wake of the eclips will stop shining. But the eclips won’t cover everything. Shooting stars won't be touched."
Viola still had that vision of that village beeing destroyed, yet she still didn’t know by who. And when exactly. But what she knew was that the old man wouldn’t listen to her anyway. The young caretaker didn’t seem to think he would listen either when she added :
"I swear. I should just tie you to a post and have you carried off in a cart."
Viola outlined a smile. She almost offered her help to assist Adele in this project since the old man was so stubborn but she shut up. She would not get that involved in their argument… She already spoke a lot for nothing. Adele who seemed to never stop working told the two girls :
"Eat as much as you like. I'll draw you two a bath."
Viola who was not hungry anymore, muttered :
"Merci."
At first, she didn’t really intend to take a bath in a stranger’s house but it had been a while they walked on the road and she finally welcomed the bath offer. Meanwhile Adele told the old man :
"And you can take your bath in the morning, or just go stand outside in the rain if you're so stubborn. Give these poor girls some peace without having to worry about dirty old men."
Viola looked by the window : Indeed it was raining… a bad omen… no stars or moon could be seen then…

"I swear. I should just tie you to a post and have you carried off in a cart."
Vanessa smiles at the thought of that. But of course she listened more.
Eat as much as you like. I'll draw you two a bath."
"And you can take your bath in the morning, or just go stand outside in the rain if you're so stubborn. Give these poor girls some peace without having to worry about dirty old men."
Vanessa looks outside and smiles. "Grazie. We will take our bath in the morning. We wouldn't want an old man peeking on us." The witch says to the girl in humorous tone. But she knew that its an omen if rain is about in a cursed down.

The old man quietly grunted his assent, leaving his pipe and tobacco on the table, grabbing his walking stick and getting heavily to his feet, following Adele to the bathroom to take his bath now, since Vanessa had wanted to bathe in the morning before they departed. With the two villagers out of the room, Vanessa and Viola had a quiet moment together to talk freely without either of the Italians overhearing.

Vanessa looks at the two people leave and turns to Viola and smiles. "Would you like to sleep? Or do you want to train in magic??" The witch asks in a cheerful tone. Since the wine made her worries disappear for a little while. Since wine is the liquid miracle that made people relax. "Its all on you Viola. My little Bambini." She adds to the sentence.

"Would you like to sleep? Or do you want to train in magic?? Its all on you Viola. My little Bambini."
Staring at the table where her empty plate was moments before, Viola didn’t seem as relaxed as her foster mother. She didn’t drink wine to make her relax like her and she had a lot to think about. But when the older witch called her ‘My little bambini’ Viola lifted her head toward Vanessa and shyly smiled. She liked to have a mother. But she had other preoccupations for now… that may displease or endanger Vanessa.
"Maman… I may have to go in Greece now. To meet Soul Calibur. I need to make the spirit sword and that doge meet…"
Viola added after a pause.
"Preferably before the soldiers come back here but that won’t be possible…"
Viola knew it may be dangerous to bring Soul Calibur here since she had a vision of destruction but she continued speaking, trying to calm down those fears.
" I know my plan may not be to your liking. It may be totally crazy and dangerous I am aware of that but I think I have to do it. Soul Calibur may destroy the place but the doge will as well, even if in another way. And maybe I can try to convince it to not do too much destruction before it comes by itself to do it, since it will."
Yet even if she didn't think she would change her mind, Viola would like to have Vanessa's opinion on this because she was still wondering.

Vanessa only smiles. Sure she doesn't want to go to Greece to meet the spirit sword since her nightmares are going to act up when she sees the spirit sword appear in front of her. But she smiles again. "To Greece it is. To help you find your parents and to figure out who you are. I will help you anyway I can Viola." The witch says to the seer in a nice tone. But in her heart. She is displeased. "But to meet the spirit sword herself? I guess we can meet her and have her meet the Doge, but can I pick up my items later in Firenze." The witch adds.
