Judging from him still wearing the uniform, it was obvious they had been in there all night. Stupid closet doors for not being able to open from the inside. Maybe they should speak to the landlord of this building about that.
" Oh! Almost forgot. This is Mei, one of my good friends." she said, and giggled after Toni kissed her hand the way he did, noticing he was in a particularly excellent mood today.
" What were you two doing in there all night?" she asked.

Romano frowned, staring at her hand as if unimpressed by the offered gesture. It couldn't be helped though; firstly: this was Romano, secondly: he'd just been caught after having spent a slightly-suss night locked in a closet with Antonio, thirdly: this was Romano.
But..he didn't really have any reason to hate this girl yet, and his slightly display-only Italian nature demanded that he at least try to be a gentleman.
After all, he'd successfully blown a friendship with both Kim and Lenna so...third time's the charm, right?
Sighing he pulled his gaze away, refusing to make eye contact and accepting her hand in a greeting. "Romano." A pause. "You're Kim's friend?"
Great. Another flat-chested Asian. Hopefully this one PMS'd less
he had to admit, in the corridor was a hell lot better than being in the apartment with Kim and Antonio. He could only dread where thatconversation was heading.

Normally this wouldn't have mattered but this involved Lovi and he didn't want to risk blowing the chance he had been given. Even if Lovi didn't realize that he had given Antonio a chance.
"I was clearing a space for Lovi to unpack his things and the door shut" Antonio smiled widely. It was the truth after all. He shrugged lightly.
"And you know how Romano is" He said with a slight tilt of the head. He chuckled gently and walked out of the closet and past Kim, ruffling her hair gently. He then headed down the hallway and back into the kitchen. He was hungry and had work tomorrow so was planning on getting back to sleep in a couple of hours.

At least she was able to get him to talk. If she remembered correctly, the only thing he was ever good at was arguing, according to Kim. Then again, he got Kim pretty worked up that time.
"I've only known her since forever." Mei gave him a firm handshake. "She talks a lot about you."
Quite the contrary. Mei only remembered him distinctly because of Kim's long rants about the man. He didn't seem too bad compared to Kim's description. Mei wasn't quick to judge. Sometimes. "But I thought she only had one roommate..."

Mei left, almost before Kim got a chance to protest. She let out a little sigh, but it was probably for the best anyway. They could always do it some other time.
She looked at Toni when he explained what had happened, and just decided to settle with it. It could happen, so... " Hey!" she grunted a bit at the hair ruffle. It had become quite the habit of him to do that. Not that she minded, but it did make her feel like a little girl. Oh, well, she was nine years younger anyway, and they were practically like siblings.
Herself was a bit tired after the long trip home from Greece, so she went to the kitchen too, to get some food before just crashing in the bed for hopefully the whole weekend.

Romano cocked an eyebrow at her, unamused and unconvinced. He highly doubted Kim could have anything good to say about him at all, and suspected that in this context, "talks" and "complains" were quite interchangable.
"I moved in...a while ago.." that he wasn't going to explain; hell he hadn't even told Kim or Antonio why he'd moved in, and he'd been living with them for a month now.
Contrary to popular belief, Romano was quite capable of being civilized when he wanted to. Usually being around Kim and Antonio did not merit that kind of environment.

How does one break an awkward silence and iron out a decent conversation with a man like Romano? All she knew about him was that he was Feliciano's brother, he worked at the pizzeria and he and Kimmy fought. A lot.
"It must be nice, sharing a flat with friends," she said wistfully. "I don't get to see Kimmy that much nowadays and Antonio looks like a nice guy. I'm kind of jealous." Mei smiled at the thought of living with the three of them. If she lived with Kim, she wouldn't feel as lonely. It would be fun, but three was already a crowd.
