The greeting was at odds with the shocked look on the man's face, his words might be professional but the surprise, the echo of clattering pencils, it all betrayed that Leonardo found Ezio's presence as strange and unexpected as he found Leonardo's. It might be because he had been lost in his drawing, so distracted that Ezio's arrival had startled him out of his reverie, and really wouldn't that be so like Leonardo? Only... there was a recognition, in those familiar eyes, he was sure of it. How could that be? They had never met before, and yet... He was the man from Ezio's dreams, his name was Leonardo, he was clearly an artist, there was no way to explain away this coincidence without stepping into the realms of the bizarre, and when one was already there, was it really so strange to think that Leonardo had been having the dreams as well?
"And you," he agreed, forcing himself to move instead of staring, slack-jawed, at the other man. He took Leonardo's hand, feeling the warm skin against his own and uncertain if he wanted to let go. "Ezio Auditore. Shall we get started?" Yes, best to focus on business, at least he knew where he was with that.
