[is_mafia]

[Giotto was on the lookout for any and all Christmas decorations that could possibly be the magical kissing sort, because he really did not want to be kissed. The only problem with this plan was the castle was filled with Christmas decorations and really, it could be anything. Maybe the safest place was outside the castle itself, even though it had seemed to get cold overnight. It couldn't honestly decorate the town, could it?

And he could sense the boy in the library, possibly trying to avoid the exact same thing. Usually he also hid in the library, but he didn't want to scare him like last time. And since he was not in the town, the town seemed like the best place to go for the day.

Also, Ino lived in town. Perhaps he would run into her and apologize for how rude he had been to her a few days ago. He had been upset, yes, but that didn't mean he could make little of her problems or shut the journal on her.

So he bundled himself up in a black long coat and a scarf, and walked down to the lobby. Of course, he has no idea that nutcrackers are the magical kissing decorations, and that they literally have populated the lobby and that by passing through there, he has left himself completely open to being kissed by anyone who would walk by him.]

[is_mafia]

...Tsuna, yes? [He's going to focus on that, and ignore the fact that he is blushing slightly because this child called him 'cute'.]

[akito]

Ah, you know him?

[is_mafia]

Only in passing, and people have told me I look incredibly like him.

[akito]

Your hair and eyes are different colours, and your face has kind of a different shape - but that's probably because you're older, ne? And you dress different than he does, too.

[ pause. :|a ]

Do you have a little fire-lion that comes out of a ring, too?

[is_mafia]

...No, I do not. Sorry to disappoint you. [A fire lion that came out of a ring? The boy couldn't be talking about... No. That was ridiculous.]

[akito]

[ is actually very disappointed ): but OH WELL. ]

Ah, I guess that just makes Natsu-kun even more special!

[is_mafia]

...Natsu? [You have lost him, actually. Completely lost him.] Is he the fire lion?

[akito]

Un! Yeah.

[is_mafia]

...Strange. [This entire conversation is strange, honestly.]

[akito]

I thought that since you're probably related you might have one, too.

[ and he would want to meet it because natsu is a cutiepie. ]

[is_mafia]

Ah, I don't think we're actually related... [Unless they are...? Giotto hadn't actually thought about that before.]

[akito]

..If you're not family, then maybe he's your next life.

[is_mafia]

[A next life...?] Something like reincarnation, I suppose. I'm not sure if I even believe that is true. And if it was, why would the castle bring us both, if we were the same soul?

[akito]

It exists! In a weird science-y kind of way, at least. As far as I know...

An answer to why this place does any of the things it does would be really nice, I think.

[is_mafia]

...Strange. I'd never thought about that... [He still doesn't think that's entirely the case, though.]

And I don't think we'll ever get coherent answers to anything about this castle.

[akito]

What do you think Tsuna-san is to you, then?

[is_mafia]

I haven't truly thought about it. I just assumed that he was someone who looked like me. That happens here, apparently.

[akito]

Eh? Really?

[is_mafia]

Really. I have only actually seen him once in passing.

[akito]

Ah, no- I mean...

People here looking really similar to other people that are here? That happens?

[is_mafia]

Apparently it has. There was a woman asking about it a week or so ago.

[akito]

[ He rubs at his own face suddenly, worried that someone else might have it. He wouldn't want people to think badly of him just because a jerk might -

Oh. ]

That's so weird...

[is_mafia]

Yes, it is.

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<i.[and>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Yes, it is. <i.[And he's been talking to this child and has yet to get his name.]</i> And excuse my manners. I am Giotto.

[akito]

I'm Akito! It's nice to meet Giotto-san.

[ he probably stumbles over his name just a little bit, since it's a strange one. ]

[is_mafia]

It's a pleasure to meet you too, Akito.

[Don't worry, he's used to it.]
