...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?

We have changed our tactics for each of their new ploys. The truth of the matter is... we have always been the underdogs. And it will always be easier for them to recruit with their money and politics than with--

[He shakes his head, sighs, and clicks off the communicator for now.]

Money shall eventually lose it's glimmer. When that time comes, you may be surprised to see those underdogs of yours holding the high ground. A snake lies in wait for it's prey; it does not seek them out.

[Very well, Giovanni. Until the next time.]

[Dying of laughter because he knows better than anyone how to wait patiently for his prey to come to him. Thus how the eagle hunts.

Buuuuut, since he he wants to act like a stubborn child at the moment and lament the fact that he dies before he can truly change anything he won't get into the whole "that is how we've always done things" speech and lecture. For now.]

[Well, at least Hitsu's good at something, even if it is just making a fool of himself to the Assassin.

Hitsu'll be expecting something later on; a conversation ending like this is often a sign of things to come.]

[The boy's not an idiot nor naive, that much Giovanni will give him.

But this is a sensitive subject and made even more so by the fact that his future has been revealed to him--he will die before he sees justice done. While not entirely a concept he has not already considered probable for his lifetime, the way it goes... is not happy.

Giovanni won't avoid him or another similar conversation if that is what comes up.]

[Such is the cost of being a Captain at such a "young" age.

Death is never a pleasant thing; especially when you deal with it on a daily basis.

Hitsugaya is a smart boy. While he won't outright avoid the topic, he won't seek it out either. Everyone has secrets they'd prefer to keep.]

[Giovanni is a hardened soul, but when it comes to his own premature death...

And the Assassins a few more than most. Secretive by nature, its hard to open completely up even here. ...Though he has done it once or twice here in moments of...annoyance, or stupidity. Take your pick.]
