Mission Twenty Three

[maybe it's too soon since the attacks to ask, but Triela likes to keep herself busy, and Hilshire would never forgive her if she slacked in training]

I was wondering if there are any good fighters who would be willing to act as my sparring partner? Or someone who can supervise me when I train? I don't need instruction but it would help to have someone there to watch my progress.

[ smiling as well. ]

I am going to continue to be nosy, if you don't mind.

Not at all. We're old friends.

We are. I hope my concern doesn't seem cloying.

Not at all.

May I ask who employs you?

Mostly we work for the Italian government, but sometimes we take on outside jobs. When I had to protect that girl, it was a private hire.

[ the government. he was afraid of that. ]

How long have you worked there?

Years. As long as I can remember.

[ a pause, and then. ]

Your parents?

I don't remember them. I think I dreamt about my mother once, but... I'm not sure if was really her.

You don't remember them because of Paradisa, or...?

[shakes her head] I've never known them. I have my friends at the agency and Hilshire. That's it.

[ a little sigh. ]

For a young girl, you've had quite a life.

We all have.

Unjustly so.

It was either that or die. We're all glad to be alive.

Mmm. I still cling to the belief that the life you deserve is not the one you've been allotted.

Isn't that true of many people? No use thinking about what might have been.

It's not too late.

I know you mean well, Albus, but I'm happy with my life. I have friends, I have Hilshire... That's all I need.

[ and you also have to do the bidding of a possibly corrupt government. :( he sighs. ]

I will not try to deny your happiness.

[not to mention she will die young and suffer memory loss, etc etc]

Thank you.

[ NO why ;; ]

I hope you won't object to me showing you a bit more.

Not at all. That's what friends do.

Look out for an invitation.
