[ If you're out and about in the Bungalow district today, around the tropical beach, you may encounter the following scenery:

a) ocean, b) sandy shore, c) lawn chairs, table (two piña coladas atop it), c) a fruit, d) pineapple trees in abundance! Were those even here originally? Who cares, right.

In the water, there's some shit like this. (How

[Really, the only reason he's even pausing to look is because he's still completing his Vongola census. Somewhere in the back of Alaude's brain an already-full check box is ticked off a second time.

He frowns.]

[caligisti]

All that scowling will give you premature wrinkles.

[bindingoaths]

[Briefly considers and summarily rejects pointing out that a century and a half would hardly qualify him for any wrinkles being “premature”.]

Rokudo Mukuro. Again.

[caligisti]

[ oh hey look at that, a Cloud Guardian with some foresight as to the kind of explanation that's likely to get a sarcastic rebuttal. Hibari could learn a thing or two from you. ]

I don't believe we've been introduced.

[bindingoaths]

We haven't.

[And judging by the dead silence following that, they won't be if Alaude can help it.]

[caligisti]

A little birdie told you my name, then.

[ you look even more ridiculous on the beach than Mukuro does, Alaude. ]

[bindingoaths]

[he looks excellently dignified wherever he is. Which is, okay, a little absurd on the beach.]

Irrelevant. [he's lingering to see what other Vongola this turns up, trying to stand in a stiff way that does not invite conversation]

[caligisti]

Yet not so irrelevant that you can resist your urge to converse with me.

[ that breath sucking over teeth pause -- ]

Rather like another little birdie.

[bindingoaths]

[doesn't look particularly impressed with Mukuro's deductive skills]

You enjoy saying useless things. [rather like another mist type he's acquainted with]

[caligisti]

Better to say than be, one would think.

[bindingoaths]

Yes. [pauses. There is never any point in asking a question from a mist and expecting a useful answer.

But he's still curious.]

...Why are there two of you?

[caligisti]

Mitosis is becoming more and more advanced these days.

[bindingoaths]

[and almost immediately he regrets asking. He snorts quietly]

Don't make a habit of it.

[caligisti]

And deprive the Cloud of his sport?

[bindingoaths]

One is sufficient.

[caligisti]

Oh, my. That does pose a problem, doesn't it.

Will you attempt to reduce my numbers?
