[The post starts with a twirling view of the sky, the ground, the sky again, the ground again, etc as the device bounces on the pavement. It just so happens to land mostly on its side, slightly tilting upwards as it leans against some debris behind it. The shot is perfect for catching a white-hooded man standing with a drawn sword in the distance. His robes are stained with black scuff marks and lots and lots of red blood.

Something has taken a beating, but it looks like it dealt out as much as it received. The Italian drops his form a second later and stands perfectly still, sword tip resting on the ground lazily. His body language depicts he doesn't seem to care about anything right now.

Indeed when he turns towards the communicator a minute later his expression is utterly blank. Its an eerie calm and cold expression with no emotion. Even his eyes reflect a dead golden hue. He walks calmly towards the device, his hand barely holding onto a sword many know he normally takes very good care of but now its practically being dragged across the ground in his limp grip.

He bends down and calmly picks up the communicator, and without even a second glance simply turns it off.]



[[Giovanni has hit rock bottom emotionally. He appears utterly calm and cold, dead even. But in reality he's insane from grief. Provoke him and he will snap. He's somewhere near the big baddie for any up for a commentlog. :3]]

Stand no more.

[Without warning, Souba is out and pointed at Giovanni. He doesn't move to attack though.]

[Giovanni unsheathes his own sword as the boy stands still. He holds it loosely at his side but his body language reads as fully ready to react.]

Why do you have to do this?

Because it is my purpose in life. I have sworn to protect others. No matter the cost.

[He's silent for a moment. He's touched. Under any other circumstances he would so this in a physical reaction with an appropriate expression... but today is not a good day for that. The only indicator of his emotional turmoil to the situation is his moment of silence.] Neither I...

You do what you must, and I will do what I must.

Isn't that how it always is?

[He speaks bitterly, the loathing making up for the lack of volume. He goes so far as to look away from Giovanni, because he thinks he won't strike without any warning. His left hand twitches and he begins to approach the edge.]

[Giovanni won't make the first move at all. He'll wait until Kadaj attacks him or makes a move to do something destruction and potentially hurt someone else. He stands, his eyes following the boy's every move, and waits.]

[Lifting up his hand, a swarm of missiles go out to one of the buildings in the distance. Not enough to destroy, but cause some tremors. He jumps off the edge and lands in a crouch before running.]

[That's Giovanni's cue. He leaps off the building and lands with a nice cat-roll that deposits him on his feet and looses no time in chasing after Kadaj. His sword is (re)sheathed while running, but he doesn't need a sword to attack when he catches up.]

[Kadaj tries to use his speed to his advantage, but it's not enough to outrun Giovanni. He comes to a dead end and doesn't bother to look over his shoulder.]

[Giovanni doesn't slow. He's knows he can't hesitate or he just might not go through with it. Instead he keeps running, and at the last second he flicks his left hand as he nears and attacks.

He may not have had his hidden blade fixed yet, but he'd found an alternate method. He struck out with the small dagger in his hand in a similar manner to how he normally would have with his hidden blade in place.]

[Kadaj tries dodging the blade, twisting himself away and holding Souba out in front of him. Fighting with blades is one thing, but he isn't used to dealing with such small weapons. Did Giovanni have more hidden?

He keeps his stare locked on the man, watching for the smallest twitch.]

[He had enough.

He backs off with the failed stab and eyes Kadaj resolutely. He isn't going to wait this time. His hand flickers and the dagger is sent flying at Kadaj even as he unsheathes his sword with his other hand.

He is not going to hold back.]

[Kadaj tries dodging again, but his own hesitancy gets the better of him. The dagger catches him in the arm, weakening his hold on Souba. He doesn't want to fight him, but he will try getting past him.

Kadaj runs for Giovanni, feinting an attack with the blades.]

[Giovanni counters after an effortless deflect, his eyes narrowed at the ease in which this is going. Kadaj isn't trying and he knows it. But he's still continuing.

He tries to block Kadaj and strike again.]

[Kadaj isn't going to try when he believes he would hurt Giovanni, or worse.

He quickly blocks and mirrors Giovanni's expression. Maybe if he shows him what he's capable of. He begins to attack him without pause.]

[Giovanni will die before he will give up. This was true at home, it hasn't changed while here. He does his best to deflect and dodge as many attacks as possible.]

[Kadaj keeps advancing at him until he can get past him, and begins running again.]

I'll hurt everyone you know!

[Giovanni stumbles as Kadaj presses forward and past. He grits his teeth and rights himself. Hearing Kadaj's proclamation enrages him.]

No
!

[He gives chase once more.]

[The remnant twitches and nearly drops Souba. He's had it. Spinning on his heel, he lunges at Giovanni, blades aimed for his heart in a desperate attempt. He almost sounds as if he's pleading.]

Stop following me!

Not after this!

[He deflects and stumbles to one side, his momentum almost preventing him from doing that much. The tone of voice is lost on Giovanni in his current state, sadly.]

Please! Just GO!

[Kadaj walks closer and stops, before he shuts his eyes and blindly lunges at him again.]
