[ ah, so those were those regains mammon mentioned- empress mentioned it too, if he recalled correctly.
reborn was watching the time to make sure tsuna didn't oversleep- timing was important, and he had to keep his student in tip top shape!
they'd probably have to return to their "home" sooner or later, anyway, and get in contact with the rest of the guardians.
but, oh- never mind that. reborn didn't say anything, but it seemed as if he was expecting something. partners had tight and strong bonds, didn't they? he could just feel it, and it brought a smile to his face. ]
Thank you. [She even blushes a little, and she can't stop reaching up to touch it, or run her hand across the pearls.]
It was... interesting. [She frowns a little at the memories, but can't help but smile] I'm a bit sorry I didn't see Tsuna take on his role as a leader. I would have liked to see the change. He has a lot of potential.
[She looks to Reborn with a light smile] And I say that as someone who's been ruling for over a million years.
[The Empress laughs softly and sighs] Are you waiting for something, Reborn?
He does. You just need to push him into the right direction at times.
[ he pulls at one of his sideburns, lets go, which causes it to bounce back into a curl. he does this a few more times, before stopping. ] He could be an exceptional leader in the future, despite the indecisive and unwillingness he tends to show now. He's rather hopeless by default.
[ a sigh ] I suppose I have to pry it out of him until then.
[ OH HOH, AND WITH THIS, he turns to her to smile. ] I am.
I don't think he's hopeless. [She says it easily enough, but there's a frown on her face] He simply doesn't realize himself yet. He's young; he has time. [Pause] I'd like to help him. I want to see him become the great man I feel he can be.
[She smiles faintly, though it might be a little sad. She's suddenly reminded that he's mortal.
But the frown is gone in but a moment, and her gaze is curious, almost childish] Can I ask what it is?
Not as much time as I would like to have- It's one of the reasons I'm rather tough on him. [ tough doesn't even describe it ; o ; ] Though I wouldn't be any softer even if I did have more time.
A friend of mine.
. . . Do all these items from home arrive in the mail?
[She laughs a little and smiles at him] If you're sure he can take it.
[Her expression is curious once more] Who? Ah.. most of them do, I think. I don't think they'd send a person. Perhaps they'll simply show up on the doorstep?
A dear partner of mine, actually. [ he's probably out there as a paper plane with eyes as we speak . . . well. now a package with eyes. ]
Well, I better go wake Tsuna. We'll both be down in a bit. [ in the most horrible way ever EVEN IF HIS SMILING FACE DOESN'T SAY SO . . . you'll probably hear it, empress. please don't cringe when you do. ]
[ all is quiet in the world of Tsuna, as he sleeps and just continues to do so. He has a smile on is face and it's so adorable...until he feels a terrible pain in his stomach and he wakes up to find that Reborn has jumped on his stomach. ]
A-AH! Reborn!
[ there is a crash and he ends up, somehow, downstairs, by the hand of a baby. blushing, he remembered that he stayed at empress' ]
[Do we need to get you the number to a shelter, Tsuna? She frowns a little and sighs]
If you're sure. [She smiles a little] Oh, I told him that! It's interesting--the boy in my world, the last one to give me a name gave me the same name, only in English--Moonchild.
[She looks to Reborn then, questioning] Or did you need something other than an explanation?
[ watching tsuna fumble around and stutter and turn red like an idiot and not get to the point- sigh, he was hopeless. he really was. at this rate, he would probably change the subject completely instead of saying what he was supposed to say.
reborn is a master at these things! so, the first thing he sees at his reach- a spoon! oh, hello you lovely spoon.
that is being thrown as a dangerous high speed projectile right at his cheek. it might even bruise- that or just turn really really red, more than it already was. ]
Ah, I'm sorry. [ he looks over from the open newspaper ] It seems to have slipped out of my hand.
[ and when empress isn't looking and you are, tsuna... he's holding a knife.

That was an eventful week, wasn't it?

Morning...Tsukiko...

[Her hands on his head, checking him for wounds] Did you fall out of bed?

[ LOOK AT THIS GLARE THAT YOU'RE GETTING, TSUNA. a stare of plotting and evil if you say anything out of line. ]
I did say I was going to wake him up.
[ though it's okay if he himself admits it. ]
Ah, and Tsukiko?
Reply
I-I'm fine! Reborn just woke me up and I tripped.
[ oh hey, more blushing ]
Oh, she asked me to give her a name, so...I named her Tsukiko...

[ and now, he looks at tsuna, expectantly, before directing his attention to her. ]
He just needs to ask you something. I haven't the slightest idea what unfortunately, so perhaps you should ask first, to be sure.
[ he's just being a cruel, cruel thing. ]
I'll be over here. [ the newspaper is very interesting ]
Reply
S-So...I guess everything is back to normal...That's good!
[ oh god he's so awkward ]
Reply
[But there's an affectionate note to her voice, as she turns to face him fully] What is it you wanted to ask me, Tsuna?
