Mina has spent the entirety of her morning on this Carnival day attending and supervising the Children's Parade, monitoring her elementary school class as they participate in the festivities, assisting with their costumes and keeping them in line as they perform twirling dance routines.
Toward the end of the day, though, after the children have been collected by their parents and the festivities are still going strong, she sheds her light sweater to reveal her spaghetti-strap sundress and changes into heels. Her aim is to revel in the Carnival's nightlife a bit, sample the food and liquor, and check out some of the live music. She's sipping a cup of Carribbean rum punch in one hand, nibbling on a sleeve of fried plantains in the other, and turns her head briefly in the direction of a steel drum band — and unfortunately away from the path she's headed.
Which, although he side-steps her bodily, is smack into Ezio's polished oxford shoe, over which she goes sprawling in a most ungainly fashion toward the pavement with a shriek.
