...perhaps I miss the old routine a bit much. This new one, while nice and cozy, makes only for a decent vacation. Yes, even despite the odd happenstances here and there. It is too...boring.

[He pauses. He's complaining. And he realizes he's turned the communicator without much thinking about it. He was past due for an update anyway, before he discovered for himself just what sort of energy the device packed, and had been thinking about it before he started in on the complaints of this place. Ah well.]

Boring. Listen to me--complaining like some sort of youngster who has nothing better than to get into trouble every day. I converse much too often with giovani here and start to reminiscence on my old lifestyle as if I could get away with what I used to.

[He sighs.] I am getting old. When you start saying 'I'm getting too old for this' it is well past time you are too old for...things.

...Ugh. Now I'm using circular arguments and boring unto death those silly enough to listen to these devices.

[...]

Though I can't help but to miss the action back home. Not just the routine... but the purpose. What purpose is there here?

[ He'll meet his match when he's up against an unchipped Eald. Trufax.

...his voice softens significantly, as though he actually is a child this time, rather than an old mage speaking through one. ]

...I hope you're right. I'm tired of being afraid.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Then do not fear. Fight.

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

...Hmph. Fine, then; I will. Don't think I'm not keepin' my eye on you.

|D Okay I thought that might be it, but wasn't sure fff

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

I'll tell you when I have that sudden epiphany then. Might be a bit of a wait though.

...Your name includes your home town in it. This just gets better and better. Where's Firenze? Earth?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Fight?

You make it sound so simple.

Hehe. It's fine~ I understand~. Firenze = Florenze is all. ^_~

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I demand an apology, or challenge you to a duel.

It does in formal terms. That is it. And just where are you from? A heathen planet with no proper name?

If a purpose cannot be found, create one for yourself. If any of your comrades are in need of protection or compassion, dedicate yourself to them. Patrol the streets for monsters, offer your services at the Soup Kitchen or the High School. You will find there is much purpose in Discedo, if you know to look for it.

[He chuckles.] Oh, I have no fear of that. None at all.

And since you will need as much luck in that feat as entirely possible: buona fortuna, piccola sigorina.

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

Good. Just don't do anything stupid, or I'll know.

[ She doesn't really respond to that. URGH something about this man grates and yet it's so familiar B| Which only makes it grate more. ]

Fff okay ♥

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

Duel hunh... Been awhile since I've had one of those. I'll think about it.

Pretty much. Ain't ever heard of Firenze, that's for certain.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I have been trained from a young age. It was fight or be disgraced.

I do not know the meaning of giving up.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[Like father, like son--or in this case: like son, like father.]

You won't even know I exist~.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

...

I suppose...that's one way to look at it. Then, to persevere, and fight...that would overcome fear, then?

[ He's starting to get it. He thinks. ]

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

You'd better hope I don't!

~♥~ ....also, I feel as though I should be apologizing for Giovanni's unusual behavior...

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Marmocchio. Think quickly.

Undoubtably, idiota, if you are not from Earth in the first place.

FFF it's okay, Seifer just... finds it hilarious honestly |D

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

What's the rush? You got plans to be somewhere?

No kidding. You're the first person to mention it. Country?

I patrol the streets at all hours of the day and night; I gather supplies for the inventory and help maintain its records; I protect the innocent, I give advice and compassion to my più caro amico; I train those in need; I teach Italiano to those that have asked to be taught.

My routine is not so light, now is it?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

It would be the true meaning of the word 'brave.' If that is not a feat then I do not know what is, giovane.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He just laughs softly.]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ You might not see it but he is smiling a bit more brightly right now. ]

I will remember those words well. Thank you, Giovanni.

At least that's better than anything else! Err, I mean--WAT!? l-lol >.>

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I would like to get teaching you a lesson over with as soon as possible.

Italia.

[Text]{:P Lazy as your son, Giovanni}

[ten-no-ryuu.livejournal.com]

Certainly not. With a routine as heavy as your own, you've already found a purpose. To survive, and to help the citizens of Discedo to do the same. How you find the time to think you've a lack of purpose is beyond my comprehension.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome, Eald'narche. [He says it with all the affection possible.]

|D Most people give up lecturing him as a lost cause after five minutes, he's just... really amused

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

...Heh. Not even gonna take your time about it? I'm a little hurt.

That ain't on my map. You got a [insert whatever they speak in Final Fantasy VIII fff] equivalent?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ You've made his day much much better, Giovanni. He'll thank you for that, too, someday. Sooner than you think. Really! For now though there's a happy little chuckle coming from him. ]
