The tiles, stairs and balustrade are all made of elegant marble. It extends almost all the way around the entire house, though the main part extends over the main fountain with its small waterfall. Past it is the entranceway into the villa itself.
Gokudera paces over the patio, trying to find something to do before he gets to work on his fireworks. He's already shown the boss around the villa, and now that he knows that the Tenth is secure, he finds himself very much bored and just a little lonely. The teen sighs and looks out at the main fountain, fighting the urge to light a cigarette.
Gokudera recognizes that voice, but it still sets him on edge. He turns about quickly, hand in his suit to pull out a stick of dynamite when his eyes land on the adult hitman. The teen's jaw goes slack and it take him a moment to register that this is for real. "Reborn-san!" He gasps and his hands fall to his sides so he can bow at the man before him. He straightens up to answer Reborn, voice sounding firm and confident despite the small amount of concern that pinches his brows together, "My job is never done. I'm just taking a break for the moment." He plans to go through his rounds of the villa once more before he can even begin to contemplate relaxation for the rest of the evening.

"There's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself a little bit, Gokudera," Reborn replies, his tone of voice amused. "I've already gone through the villa multiple times myself. Do you really think I'd let something hurt Tsuna?" Okay, that was probably not the most honest question in the world, but Reborn says it with such conviction, that smile still on his face, knowing and inscrutable.
"Ah no. Of course not. But Tenth is too important to risk overlooking even the smallest thing!!" Gokudera feels like he's on some kind of winning team and Reborn is new reinforcement. It completely flies over his head that the tutor is solely responsible for 95% of everything dangerous that's ever happened to the young mafia boss.
"..." He watches the older man and then nods. "Alright." Gokudera hesitates and then starts by, stopping as he faces the exit, but his arm brushes against Reborn's. "Can I ask you something, first?"
"And..." Gokudera fumbles about for something more. "And the rest of us. Of course." It went without saying. If Reborn-san isn't around, the teen thinks, then everything falls out of place.
