12 :: Returned Once Again [Action]

[torrenziale]

[It's cold here. Damp. The chill of it seeps deep within his bones. It’s dark too. What little light there is plays weakly off the surface of the surrounding water, though not enough to illuminate anything. And from the not far off distance, there is a strange rushing noise. He knows that sound. It's quickly approaching. But before he can

[ Gokudera's taken to combing the outskirts of the village for quite some time now, just in case someone else from their Family arrives, or even worse if someone else not from their Family arrives.
When noticing Squalo, he heaves a sigh, folding his arms. ]

Tch. I didn't know Luceti had a train. 'Looks like you got hit by it.

laaaate reply...

[torrenziale]

["Looks." Ha ha hahaha ha. Even if the brat doesn't know, it's still not funny. Squalo stops and scans the area as best he can: Tree blob, tree blob, greyish blob,...and shrub? Maybe? He returns his muddled gaze back on the grey blob and pulls an annoyed face. So much for slipping into town unnoticed.]

Heey, what's this? Out looking for me? Didn't know you caaaared, brat.

[rossovento]

I wasn't looking for you. I just found your sorry ass.

[torrenziale]

Yeah, yeah. Must be your lucky day, then.

[He idly wonders if Gokudera was looking for someone but drops that thought for the moment in favor of finding a tree to lean against.]

[rossovento]

Wednesday. The sixth.

[torrenziale]

[That catches his attention.]

What? WHAAT? THE SIXTH?!

[rossovento]

That's what I said.

[torrenziale]

[Hn. Xanxus is sure to be in a fine mood. He curls his lip a bit at Gokudera's retort and settles against his chosen tree, waiting to move until the other leaves.]

Voi! Don't get smart with me. And the hell are you doing out here anyway?

[rossovento]

Tch.

I always do checks at the beginning of the month.

[torrenziale]

Checks? For arrivals? Che.

There's more than enough you Vongola brats here as it is. If a new one got lost, it wouldn't be much of a loss.

[rossovento]

Tch. Even if it's your star pupil?

[torrenziale]

Only pupil, moron. There's a difference.

Besides, he's not new here, so the only reason you'd be loo- [Oh...]

[rossovento]

Right.

[torrenziale]

How long?

[rossovento]

...Awhile.

[torrenziale]

...Awhile.

What, you run out of fingers to count on? Toes work too, brat, if you have to get past ten.
