[What a dreadfully familiar predicament that would have been, had the archbishop seen the incident, instead of hearing the shattering bedlam from his bedroom. Enrico jolted from his mattress, Vatican issued pistol inexplicably brandished as if it were an extension of himself at this point.]
What in Hell's blazes is---!?
[Dashing into the auditorium, his bleary eyes caught sight of dust welling up near the iridescent windows. He took a moment to gaze in awe that their former glory had nearly been restored, taking him aback...]
H-how...
[The shuffle of something near his feet drew his hands tighter around his weapon, aiming downward with an iron click... only for his eyes to widen that he was pointing down at a... Anderson-sized hole in a space of floor-board surrounded by the rest of the church's stone basin.]
[Alessandro was trying to get out more, he had spent most of his time in the apartment to himself. People had been trying to encourage him to go out more and insisted the city wasn't always horribly dangerous. So, this time he thought he would go to the church.
He entered just in time to watch Father Anderson fall to the floor, he froze, wide eyed and in shock. Even when Bishop Maxwell had come out and rushed to the hole defensively, he still couldn't find a voice. Finlay when Maxwell called out Anderson's name, Alessandro snapped out of it.]
[A deep groan echoed from the mouth of the gaping hole, a deep throbbing between his two shoulder blades at having landed so hard. The shock left his body temporarily with limb paralysis, though he could hear the results of the plunge had caused his ears to ring with what he thought might have been a familiar voice.]
...Ales...san..dro?
Pl...ea...se...Dinna shoot...Ah'm n-nae armed...
[He croaked out when he caught sight of the end of Maxwell's barrel, stirring enough to where the sound of wood clicked together. When he tried to suck in for the breath he'd lost his reward was a mouthful of dust and stale air, causing him to gag and cough.]
[Hearing the staggering child's cry and Anderson's mewling from deep below, the Archbishop sighed with heavy exasperation and clicked the safety back onto his weapon.]
I should shoot you for turning this church into more of a hazard zone than it already is!
[Yet that fall was enough punishment, he gathered as he slicked his hair back, pondering how he would get the woolly beast out of there...]
Aha...
[Then of course there was the boy...]
Vi.. Il papa. Perhaps you could keep Father Anderson talking, whilst I find the entrance to the basement, si?
