Jenn thought silently for a second, staring at Ezio before breaking out into a wide grin and calling out, "Free running! Teach me to run like you and you can have them all you'd like!"

Ezio's eyes narrowed, "'All I'd like?' You mean to say you would borrow them to me, but they still would not be mine."

Jenn shrugged, "Look, it's strictly business. I collect things and if pressured I'll let people borrow them from time to time. But!" She pointed at Ezio's chest and poked him once, "I only give something up if it's bought. I have to make a living you know."
Jenn walked away a bit, swinging her arms happily, "And all I want right now is a few lessons in proper free running. I'm already learned in it, but I'm not all that good yet. All I need," she looked back to him pointedly, "Is a good teacher."

Ezio's mouth twisted a bit as he considered his options here. "And what," he haggled smoothly, "Would you say, would be a proper trade for the books? I haven't much money, having not woken up with a fistful of florins after all."

Jenn laughed and shook her head, "I don't take florins anyway. Haven't been to Italy in years. And anyway I can't think of much right now to trade. If I think of something I'll be sure to let you know, but for now lets just stick with the borrowing and free running... teach."

Ezio just turned to Jess, a confused frown on his face, "I can't tell, but I think she's mocking me." he shook his head, "What do you think, is this a fair deal?"

Jess looked at Jenn, knowing full well with enough coercion she could get her sister to give up anything.
Even the real reason why she wanted the free running lessons.
Though she could venture a pretty good guess.
"I think-" she slowly turned her head toward her sister than back to Ezio as she talked "-that it's fair for now."

Indy was getting some odd vibes out of Jess's younger sister.
Something said she wasn't just a collector.
But he'd keep his thoughts to himself until he had more information to go off of "Where are the books currently? Do you have them here?"

Jenn smiled brightly and without answering she left the room. She was gone only about two minutes, and the sounds of rummaging, things falling down, cursing, and clanging sounded from wherever she'd disappeared to. She came back not long later with a good sized lock box in her hand, spray-painted black. With a little fiddling she'd opened the numerical lock on it and opened it to show the others.
Inside were nearly four journals and a massive stack of loose-leaf papers, as well as a few metal emblems and an ancient quill. Some of the stacks were tied together with twine, organizing it just a little, "I put together, in order, which letters were sent from you and which ones were sent to you." She smiled smugly at them all.

Jess grinned "Perfectly preserved" she looked up at Jenn "from the 1400's, is that a air tight box?"

Jenn smiled at Jess, one of the few people she knew who could appreciate keeping things like this in perfect condition, "Yup. From what I understand these were found in a wooden and metal box, buried in sand and stone deep underground. The cold isolation kept them from deteriorating too fast, and since they've been found some time ago they've been sealed up nice and tight."

"Remarkable."

Ezio smiled and ran a hand carefully down the journal's binding. He looked up at Jenn and bowed, "Thank you."
