Ezio stared at her, his eyes shining gold beneath his hood and he knew she was lying. Or at the very least, omitting part of the truth. He was good with things like that. However it begged the question: What is she lying about, and can he trust her?
That second question was a loaded one as all his training screamed that no, no he couldn't. He wanted to though, and his sight was telling him that she was an ally. And just because he trusted her about as much as he did any stranger, didn't mean he couldn't be personable.
Deciding on something he replied, low and serious, "I respect that there are things you don't wish to tell me; perhaps I wouldn't understand it. But know that I do not judge whatever is truly besetting you besides these nightmares."

She smiled "I know I can't lie to you, don't know why I tried" she looked down at her phone "the reason I have the nightmares, is because a while back my life too a very dark turn. I mean to fix that now, you can trust me Ezio, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm not a bloody templar, and I am here to help."
She sighed and put the phone in her pocket, she'd wait for it to beep when it had a strong enough signal.
"I lived two lives for a long time, one life was my own, the other was one I wish to forget about. Tony, and my job is what allows me to do that."

Ezio's eyes softened, not quite so sharp as they were before and he smiled softly, "I know you are no enemy, I can see that plainly."
He listened carefully as she spoke, knowing without having to guess that she meant more than just leading a double life. He promised he wouldn't judge, and so he let her explain without interrupting. When she was done he nodded, "I can understand wanting to forget. There were times when I wish I could just forget everything... about the Assassins and Templars, and perhaps return to thinking I was to be a wealthy banker."
He shrugged, "Perhaps it is not the same though, I shouldn't have made the comparison."

"It's close enough for government work" she laughed.

He put a companionable hand on Jess's shoulder, "All things work out in the end, for better or worse. You must simply believe it will be for the better, and it will be."

She looked up at the hand and smirked "Thanks."

"You know you're entirely too optimistic" she moved to the side a bit to better accommodate the imposing assassin "it's cute."

Ezio smiled, "It pays to be Optimistic. Were I not, I wouldn't get anything done."

"But doesnt pessimism also get things done?" She didn't explain her reasoning behind saying this, she simply said of "Never mind-" a beep came from her pocket and she smiled.

Ezio looked over at the device and guessed by Jess's smile that it was working, "That implies we are close to port, no?"
