[Quiet Man Cometh]

This new time was already an endless source of fascination for Leonardo. Though he was granted the knowledge he needed to get by as a servant, he still found much to see in the sights that were so much familiar and so alien at the same time. I wonder what Florence would look like now...or Amboise. His mind flooded with thoughts, questions, answers, and more thoughts as he took in as much as he could around him, the sights before him translating into art, schematics, and equations. He didn't care for this war, or violence at all, but he was already relishing the time it gave him to see the present world. He would keep himself and his master around as long as he could, grail or no grail, if only at the behest of his now insatiable curiosity.

He saw people taking pictures -with cameras he instinctively knew them to be. I would like one of those. He saw people dressed in gaudy garb and making shows of history, some of which he already knew. I wonder what image they make of me now.

Though this peace wouldn't last, perhaps, where there was time, they might find a museum or a library. He still wanted to know what a Dodo was.
