Fifth stop: Action/Text

[veeno]

[ooc: stuff in courier is text!]

[Seems like somebody figured out his seal can write letters. That's pretty nifty!]

Man, today's great.

[He also seems to have discovered how fun the mountains can be. He's spent most of the day obligatorily chopping wood and lifting lumber, making friends with woodland creatures, and figuring out ways to

[Oh look, it's a little baby in an Armani suit and a fedora. You might have to bend down to reach his hand though]

It seems like good weather to be exerting yourself, apparently. [You know. Since you're busy being productive and all.]

[Action]

[veeno]

Yeah, definitely is!

[Well, Claire has seen shorter in the circus. He kneels down and accepts a handshake.]

Claire Stanfield.

[Action]

[ombrasolare]

[Do you often frequent midget circuses, Claire?]

Reborn. A pleasure to meet you.

[Action]

[veeno]

[Man Claire's circus had everything. He sorta sits comfortably, deciding to take a break in his walk to commune with a local.]

Likewise. You're a new face, so I gotta say meeting you is a bit refreshing.

[Action]

[ombrasolare]

[Hardly a local, but he definitely appreciates not having to get a crick in his neck looking up at you normal-sized people. Or he could just jump up onto a convenient tree...]

So glad to be of service. Do you come here often? [...to the mountains. To chop down trees, obviously. My, my, what were you thinking?]

[Action]

[veeno]

Actually, it's my first time really exploring the place.

[He nods, smiling and taking in a deep breath.]

It's pretty nice though, so I might move.

[Action]

[ombrasolare]

There is something to be said for the unspoiled wilderness, so to speak. Where do you usually live then?

[Action]

[veeno]

Metropolis district. It's kind of homey, but really convenient.

[He tilts his head a bit, gesturing]

Not enough greenery, though. Even Brooklyn had ivy on the bricks. How bout you?

[Action]

[ombrasolare]

Golden district. I haven't really gotten a chance to explore everywhere yet. [Possibly lying.] But I do also have a preference for the organic.

[Action]

[veeno]

[Nods, sees this maybe lie and notes it.]

Yeah, it's got more flexibility for what you can do with it. Nicer to look at too, sort of wild and right.

[Action]

[ombrasolare]

Do you hail from New York City then? [Just...moving on back to an earlier subject...]

[Action]

[veeno]

Well, Boston area originally but I wound up in New York. I'm more a believer of home is where your heart is, so I suppose I'm from all over.

[Something a little more straight forward, assuming all that was true-]

But sure, I guess you could say that's where I was last. How bout you?

[Action]

[ombrasolare]

I wander around quite a bit as well. Italy and Europe usually, though I've made my way across the Atlantic a few times. More recently I've usually been found in Japan. And now...here.

[Action]

[veeno]

Italy, huh? No kiddin, that's where my family comes from. One of my names is even Italian.

[He shrugs like that's something completely normal to say.]

What brought you to the orient, if you'll indulge my curiosity?

[Action]

[ombrasolare]

One of your names? I see...

Oh, certainly. It was... Well, I suppose you could call it a familial obligation. A request from a very close friend.

[Action]

[veeno]

Yeah- Vino, that's the nickname that gets passed around a lot.

[He nods, then sort of blinks as something clicks. Supposedly family? This guy is short, but so is Tsuna...]

Hey, don't take this the wrong way, but are you related to a mafia?
