[The image is blurry and bouncing around wildly as the person carrying it runs with light footfalls. It's impossible to tell how agile and swift the person is from this viewpoint but he's running across rooftops with much ease. Then there is a thwomp of booted feet landing hard on pavement and then movement ceases and settles. The landing is perfect.

Shortly, Giovanni walks inside the Gohl and as he brings the device up to look at it a quick flash of the main room can be seen, then a slightly smirking face of the banker, then nothing as the device is turned off.]

Just let me know when you're free. I don't want to keep you from your family.

Cliché or not, it's true. I just haven't found it just yet. [She smiles again. Though it's a smile for him really.] You're not that old, cowboy.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ chuckle ] Come now, Giovanni. You're out running across Discedo's rooftops and yet you've no idea what energy I'm referring to?

[twin-sai-kame.livejournal.com]

Great way ta stay fit, eh?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

It has the added benefit of being particularly... fun.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

You're a child. You should have lots of energy! Certainly more than this old man.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I doubt you would be unwelcome by my family. [He chuckles at the idea. Everyone would probably be paying you so much attention just by being in the room...]

When you do, you will want to hold onto it as tightly as possible--and yet never so tightly that it escapes you. Bene? [He's silent for a moment, and then he smiles too.] Thank you, Chloe. But I am getting there.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

But-- [ Hey that's cheating don't play that card! ] But I'm older than I look! Way older! And taking care of Gohl wears me out really fast and stuff!

Maybe I should take a day off or something...

[twin-sai-kame.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that too, great way ta get around too, if ya don't wanna be seen.

[aninsidejob.livejournal.com]

I'll just have to stop by and make a visit. I can't promise and dramatic entry, however. [She couldn't help but laugh softly. It was actually nice to be so welcome. Not something she was used to.]

Yeah... that sounds nice. I'll keep that in mind for when that day comes. [She sighs, thinking on it.] I don't know, you only really choose to age. You're in good shape.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, too, Sakutaro. I am Giovanni Auditore. If you would like, I could accompany you outside some time, bambino.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

It is also simply faster to travel in such a fashion. Plus the view isn't all that bad.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Your entry will be as stunning as your beauty, signora, don't you fret.

I do try my best. Perhaps everyone should.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

How does that matter? You have the quick mind and body of an adolescent--you should be in tip-top shape! Don't make excuses, you little ragazzo.

Delegate.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being scolded...

I am in good shape! But...well--

Hey! What do you mean, "delegate!" I'm doing just fine!

[aninsidejob.livejournal.com]

[This is the look of some shock, before she laughs while covering her mouth.] Oh don't start, I'm not all that stunning.

[cantsaygao.livejournal.com]

Gio-... Giovanni. Uryu-. Does this mean we're friends now?

[vengefulblades.livejournal.com]

Grazie, papa.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Having fun?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

That matters little. You cannot handle everything personally. Every good leader knows how to delegate certain responsibilities, and who to delegate them to specifically.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

If you want to be, certainly. [He smiles softly.]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

My boys seem to think otherwise. I can't help but to agree.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

I suppose not.

[ ... ]

Like you, for instance?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Really, it's the best way to travel by foot. Always has been and always will be!

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

If you see it fit.
