Vongola XXI -- Dictated

[not_mafia]

[Filtered to his and/or Garry's friends]
Hey, guys. Me and Garry are going to the seasons room's beach today, if anyone wants to join us! We... don't really have any plans or anything. [Mostly Tsuna's just curious to see it since it's his first time!] Oh, but-- you should probably bring a swimsuit! We'll probably be there for awhile, so you can come anytime you'd like.

Mmmn... it'll be so nice to get away from the cold.

[Filtered to Housemates]
Is everything alright out there? I haven't heard anything from you guys since you left. [He worries, you know. >:]

[Primo]
Primo, ah, um.. is it okay if maybe I stopped by later today...?


((There will be a thread within this post for the beach. Anyone is allowed to hop into this thread, make their own threads within it, etc etc even if neither knows Tsuna or Garry and just happens to be in the seasons room today! Garry and Tsuna will probably be sticking together so expect responses from both of them!))

Um.. [A sheepish smile as he rubs his neck.] I-I just wanted to see you, I guess.

[is_mafia]

I do not mind. I would quite honestly rather talk to you than read a book. [He enjoys people and talking to them. And Tsuna, Tsuna is family and he is so interested, and yet does not want to pry.]

[not_mafia]

Oh, right. [He looks over at the book.] What are you reading about? If you don't mind me asking.

[is_mafia]

Mm. I'm trying to catch up on all the literature I seem to have missed. Right now I'm reading a mystery novel based on a cruise ship on the Nile. [It's 'Death on the Nile' by Agatha Christie.]

[not_mafia]

Is that so? You'll be busy for awhile, then.

[So Giotto enjoyed reading. It was good to know, but with him living in the castle, he had access to hundreds of books... if not thousands.

It wouldn't make a very good gift, in other words.]

... what other kind of things do you like to do?

[is_mafia]

I imagine so.

[A curious look.]

I take walks, here.

[...He's ridiculously boring, Tsuna, without any work to do. The novelty of being on vacation wore off somewhere around Christmas.]

[not_mafia]

[He can't blame the man. If it wasn't for his video games, Tsuna wouldn't have any clue what to do with himself all the time.]

Have you been to the seasons room?

[Meanwhile, Natsu noses at Giotto's hand. Pet him moooore.]

[is_mafia]

[Giotto does pet him more, before picking him up entirely and placing him in his lap, since he can't keep bending over like that.]

No, but I have heard of it. It is the room that turns from summer to winter, yes?

[not_mafia]

Gao! [He settles into Giotto's lap, seeming very content with this new placement.]

Ah, yeah. [He eyes Natsu.] He's not bothering you, is he? Natsu...

[is_mafia]

Of course not. [Can't you tell, Tsuna, from all the petting and the smile on Giotto's face?] I love animals and I always have.

[not_mafia]

Really?...

[HEH what a stark contrast to Tsuna, he doesn't care for animals at all. Natsu is pretty much the only exception.

Though he blinks.]

Ah, your flames are getting a little low, Natsu. Hold on a second...

[He reaches into his pocket and takes out his rings, putting them on his fingers before he concentrates, a pure, crystal-like sky flame shooting out of the ring's base. He then holds it in front of Natsu, who gives a pleased little Gao! before lapping at the flames.]

[is_mafia]

[A curious tilt of his head at the strange ring, and then he all of a sudden recognizes it. It was the Vongola Ring, though much changed from the one that rested on his finger right now.

Should he ask about it? It had obviously been reforged at one point, and obviously Natsu was attached to it since he had to feed of it's flames. But when had it been reforged and why? Had it been broken? Who had managed to break his ring?

But instead of satisfying his curiosity and asking questions, he instead just watched Natsu, petting him gently.]

[not_mafia]

[When Natsu finishes, he gives a big, satisified yawn, and curls up in Giotto's lap, purring contently. Tsuna smiles as he draws his hand back, then blinks and looks at the ring.

How much trouble he'd gone through, for the ring to evolve like this. It had been, at the same time, his worst enemy and greatest ally. But it felt so frustratingly useless here. He couldn't just go into Hyper Dying Will Mode and beat up some enemy, like he usually did, to solve everyone's problems. Hyper Dying Will Mode had been of frustratingly little use here in the castle.

Well... back in the mirror world, he'd been able to use his powers to save him and Zelos from being eaten by a huge dragon, so that had to count for something.]

[is_mafia]

[Well, he had no excuse now not to look at him. He could still refrain from commenting, though. The look on Tsuna's face, however...] What is the matter?

[not_mafia]

Huh?

[Oh, he'd gotten caught up in his own thoughts, hadn't he?]

Ah... it's nothing.

[He lets his hand drop.]

Um, is it alright if I sit with you?

[Apparently Tsuna has to ask for permission for anything ever when it comes to Primo.]

[is_mafia]

[A chuckle. Tsuna, he told you he didn't mind you here, didn't he?] Of course you can. You don't need to ask for permission.

[not_mafia]

Ahaha, sorry.

[He sits down and watches Giotto pat Natsu. ... and again, he's not really sure what to say...]

[is_mafia]

[Giotto looks up at Tsuna again, a curious look on his face.]

...Why did you wish to come and see me?

plurk pls

[not_mafia]

Um, well...

[He idolizes the crap out of you and you are just amazing????]

Y-you know! I was just wondering what you were up to.

i know rite

[is_mafia]

[He's not that amazing, Tsuna. That's only the hero worship talking.]

You must have better friends to spend time with than me. Or at least someone who is far less boring.

FLOPS

[not_mafia]

[no totally amazing shut up!!!]

Wh-what are you talking about? You're not boring at all!

there there /pats

[is_mafia]

[Tsuna, you don't even know him.]

I sit around and read books all day and go for walks, and that is the extent of what I do. I hold no illusions that I am boring. [Or just getting old. Ugh.]

;n;

[not_mafia]

Well... I'm not really that much better, you know! Ahaha... most of the time I just sit around all day and play video games...

[is_mafia]

And yet that is still more exciting than what I do. [Don't try to make him feel better, Tsuna.]

[not_mafia]

Not by much...

[He thinks back on the conversation he had earlier with Ino, and blinks.]

Oh, right! Um, Primo?
