Leonardo straightened up to reply, sighing deeply. "It is not a library, Ezio, and it's not ---" He snapped to it in that moment and his face completely transformed into the kind of joy that can't be expressed, only seen. He ran forward with no hesitation and hugged Ezio, feeling like something tight in his chest that had been tense this whole time unfurled all at once. Things would be fine now. Ezio was there. He would find a way to save them, he always did.

"Ezio!" Leonardo pulled back from the hug to look at him, and then his eyes brightened. "Altair is here. The real one. From the codex pages! I have not seen him, but his friend Malik told me. There are others of your Order here!" He was bursting with information and not certain where to start. "There are people from other planets here. One has horns, and another is fully blue with a tail." Seriously so much to say. He stepped back to wildly wave his hands. "In the future there are giant flying machines that hundreds of people can fly on between countries."

Yep. These were the first things on his mind to share.
