Vongola XXVII -- Dictated

[not_mafia]

[He should have asked this two days ago, really, but he kind of got.. distracted. Also, procrastinating like a boss and hoping he wasn't jinxing it. But now he's kind of curious.]

Just out of curiosity-- what's the longest anyone has seen a loss last?

[In other words, hi guys, he's still here.]

[Well, hi, Tsuna!]

Someone told me they had one last for about a month. Why?

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

[For some reason Giotto thought Tsuna's loss would have ended by now, but obviously not if he's asking. This reminds him of something he had once said, about Tsuna's losses just getting longer, but he's not about to say that..]

It seems like the castle truly likes you, bambino.

[not_mafia]

One month...

[He had quite a bit of time left in that case.]

Hm? Oh-- I think I may be on a loss, and was expecting it to end a couple days ago, so... Well, I was a bit surprised when it hadn't.

Nonno

[not_mafia]

Truly likes to mess with me, you mean. [He chuckles.] Seems like I'm here for awhile yet.

[courageous_wit]

I think the longest duration is a month.

[heliotroping]

Someone was a tiger for an entire month...

[rose_of_battle]

Yeah, I thought they only lasted a few days, too, until she told me she had been changed into a fairy for the entire time.

[She pauses and her tone is thoughtful.]

But, from what you're saying, it's not that type of loss?

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

[He hadn't exactly meant that, but...] Either way.

....Are you coming to visit me today?

Nonno

[not_mafia]

And celebrate my extended stay with you?

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

Of course! Unless you have something else pressing to do.

Nonno

[not_mafia]

Pressing work to do in Paradisa? I didn't know you were going into comedy, Nonno.

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

I do try. Then come up and see me. You know where I am.

[In the library, like always.]

Nonno

[not_mafia]

[Chidingly:] We can't celebrate in the library, Nonno! No, how about... It's nearly lunch time, so why don't we go and eat out?

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

[He's become far too used to his grandson chiding him like that, so all he does is laugh and agree.] All right, all right! I'll come out to lunch with you. Where would you like to meet?

[not_mafia]

Yes, that's what I've been hearing. Thank you for the verification.

[not_mafia]

A tiger? Paradisa sure does seem to be fond of its "turning people into other things" losses.

Nonno

[not_mafia]

Hmm... you remember where the fountain is? [You know, the one where Ino set the two of them up forever ago?]

[not_mafia]

[He chuckles.]

I don't think I sound like a fairy. Do you think that I do, Sheena?

Tsuna

[is_mafia]

Of course I remember. How could I forget?

I'll meet you there in a few minutes.

[heliotroping]

Would you rather act different?

[not_mafia]

...given Paradisa, no, probably not. This is actually probably one of my more fortunate losses, if you could consider them as such...

Nonno 1/2

[not_mafia]

Sounds like a plan!

Action 2/2

[not_mafia]

[After getting on a nice pair of pants and a light long-sleeved shirt, Tsuna heads out of the house. He realized at the last minute they probably needed money and just kind of scrambled some cash together/borrowed some from Ino or Gale or something and hastily put them in one of his pockets before he went to the fountain to wait for his grandfather.]

[rose_of_battle]

[Her tone is still thoughtful at first.]

Well, that depends, some fairies voices can be soft, or loud, or--

[HOLY DERPNESS]

Wait a second! How did you know my name? I didn't tell you it!

[heliotroping]

...I haven't been older before, so I can't say.
