“What excellent boiled potatoes.”
“Ah, do you believe that?” Alexandros asked. “It has been a long time since I prepared potatos like these. I’m glad you like them!”
Zoe nodded and smiled. “Yes, they’re delicious.” She replied. “I like them too daddy!” Said Eirene who was sitting beside her mother.
"The children are with my parents, so what if you and me go to relax a bit, you know, reading at the shade of a tree, taking a walk through the golden horn, I miss it." Told Zoe to her husband.
“Should I take this golden chance? I’m not sure… I have tons of work to do.” He joked. “Well… I think that work can wait, I have no compromises with the sultan.”
“Oh, well…” She said before noticing it was a joke, then she smiled. “Relaxing a bit will be good for you my love, well, for both of us.” Zoe said after kissing Alexandros’ cheek.
“And what are we reading?” Alexandros embraced Zoe and chuckled. “Relaxing shouldn’t represent a problem for both, uh?”
“I don´t mind, what do you prefer? Maybe one of the newest books we got?” She asked and then chuckled as well embracing him back. “No, I don´t think so, running after three young children is tiring.”

“Excuse me sir… have you… have you seen a little girl alone around here?” Zoe asked to a man she thought could help her. She had lost her daughter, she just got distracted for a second and little Eirene ran away. “She’s 3 years old, she has shoulder length black wavy hair and blue eyes, her name is Eirene, she’s wearing a light pink dress. ” She told him. “This bazaar is so big…” The young mother was very worried and at the verge of tears.
His cheery demeanor is cut short by the nature of the woman’s plea, and he stops to face the woman. Yusuf naturally has a dislike for bazaars for the very reason of a displacing crowd, especially more so when it is most likely the catalyst for this lady’s plights disappearance. After a long sigh, he wordlessly nods to his Assassin company and they depart; as long as they watch from the air for Templars, he’ll fulfill his responsibility as a guardian of the empire in every which way, including looking for this needle in the haystack.
“ Lιgнт ριηк you say? Where were you when you last saw her? ”
“Thank you, yes, light pink.” Zoe said nodding and wiping some tears from her eyes, she was surprised that an Ottoman man wanted to help her, a Byzantine woman. “I was speaking with one of the merchants, just around here, I got distracted and she let go of my hand and started running... in seconds.” She explained, the woman felt like a bad mother and was very worried and nervous. “She... she’s very shy with strangers, she must be scared, my poor girl.”
“Oh, I’m Byzantine, but my daughter is half Byzantine and half Ottoman, my husband is Ottoman.” She said.

Zoe smiled at Maria’s words. “Oh, that’s good. Eirene was a calm baby, Cyril and Andreas were a bit louder, but it was easy to make them calm down.” She replied. "little like him mama?” Asked Cyril. “Yes. You have grown a lot.” She told to her one year old twins.
“A beautiful name, just like him.” Zoe said smiling.
The three children looked at Maria smiling, a cheeky smile. “Yes, I’m a good girl Maria, I help mommy and daddy.” Replied Eirene. “Good boy. Me too!” Replied Cyril and Andreas, the two boys looked more and more like their father each passing day. “He’s cute.” Said Eirene looking at little Federico.
Maria beamed at Zoe at the compliment.
“Thank you.” She said in thanks then listened to the children as Annetta brought in food and drink for everyone.
“Well I am glad you think so.” Maria said to Eirene. “Perhaps if he wakes then you and your mother can hold him.”
“Yes, I want to hold him.” The little girl said.
“But now he is sleeping Eirene, come here.” Said the mother who was sitting near Maria, the girl obeyed her mother and sat with her. “Is he like Cyril and Andreas when they were little babies?” Eirene asked. “Yes, well, he is bigger because Cyril and Andreas are twins and twins are smaller.” Replied Zoe.
“A beautiful name, just like him.” Zoe said smiling.
The three children looked at Maria smiling, a cheeky smile. “Yes, I’m a good girl Maria, I help mommy and daddy.” Replied Eirene. “Good boy. Me too!” Replied Cyril and Andreas, the two boys looked more and more like their father each passing day. “He’s cute.” Said Eirene looking at little Federico.
“Yes Eirene, we are going to visit Maria and her baby.” The woman said smiling to her three-year-old daughter. “Cyril hold your brother’s hand please.” Zoe said to the older of her twin boys while they were walking through the streets of Florence. After a short walk from the house they were staying in the city they arrived at Maria’s house, the young woman knocked at the door.
Within just a few months, Maria had learnt more than she perhaps had in her whole life! Annetta was surely sent from God, the amount of wisdom and aid she imparted on the new mother.
Although it was extremely fatiguing, now Maria understood the joys and the hardships of being a mother. But she would not change it for the world. Federico was the second love of her life, the little one could just simply look at her with his deep eyes and she would melt!
Annetta answered the door and allowed these expected guests in once introduced.
Maria looked up once she was alerted to Zoe’s arrival and smiled.
“I am afraid I cannot stand to greet you all, my little bambino is asleep and I fear I would wake him.” Maria told them softly as she held the babe close against her chest.
The Byzantine woman smiled wide as she entered to the house with the children and saw Maria with her baby. Looking at her children Zoe put her index finger on her lips indicating them to stay quiet as she saw that the little baby was sleeping.
“Ah, don´t worry my friend. Oh Maria! He’s so beautiful, what a cute little boy! Congratulations!” Zoe said whispering.
She had been so happy when she recieved the letter from Maria telling her that she was expecting her first child, she couldn´t wait to visit them.
“Yes Eirene, we are going to visit Maria and her baby.” The woman said smiling to her three-year-old daughter. “Cyril hold your brother’s hand please.” Zoe said to the older of her twin boys while they were walking through the streets of Florence. After a short walk from the house they were staying in the city they arrived at Maria’s house, the young woman knocked at the door.

I have this account a bit abandoned. Anyone wants to RP?
Hello!! A few weeks ago andreasthesoldier and byzantiumsons mun gave me her accounts because she doesn´t have time to rp, so now it’s me rping Andreas (Zoe’s father) and Alexios and Loukas (Zoe’s brothers). This accounts doesn´t have a lot of followers so I invite you to follow them. If the original mun returns I have to give her the accounts back so it will be good if she sees she has more followers.
“You’re welcome.” She said smiling back. Soon Cyril went to his mother wanting one of the pastries, Andreas followed his brother also wanting one. Zoe took two of the pastries and gave them to their sons. “Careful, alright? Sit here with mom while you eat.” She said and sat both boys on her lap. “Eirene, do you want one my princess?” The little girl nodded happily and took a pastry, she sat on a chair beside her mother and brothers. “My godness, they love sweet things like I did when I was expecting them.” Zoe laughed.
