Of course Reborn let Franky into his mansion. A small smile was on his lips as he tipped his head to the side, "It's always nice to have company especially someone I hardly get to see. Come in Franky." Reborn was quite pleased to have another Capo regime around, and it was not something that could be avoided. If Reborn had thought he could do all the training for his boys himself, he wouldn't have called on Franky.

"Please..The study is this way." Reborn motioned as he walked. He never dressed down, and even still had his fedora on. Moving into the study, the room was dark, much like Reborn's personality it seemed to fit. The walls were lined with books and different pictures as far as the eye could see. He had taken great pride in his study as a place where he could come relax. Motioning to the two chairs set up by the fire he smiled. "Have a seat. We have much to talk about."

[feeling_super]

"Thanks" Franky followed Reborn in. He always liked Reborn's sense of taste, sophisticated. "Like what you've been doing with the place" He nodded, glancing around.

"How are doin'?" Franky added a question, getting comfortable in his chair, relaxing. He was glad Reborn was getting back into Vescovo after disappearing on everyone. He was taking good care of the new kids, too and Franky was glad.

[arcabalenoborn]

"No thanks necessary." Reborn watched the other for a moment as he sighed and then looked into the fire. "This place has grown it seems under Tieria's watch while I was gone. Not only that but I seem to have a little family of my own." Thinking on the many men he had living under the room.

"We are just missing a little bit of estrogen." He told Franky with a quiet chuckle. It was true out of all the people in that house, there was only Bianchi around to equate for the women population.

"I'm doing well. To say that I am not a little intimidated after working in England to come back to Reggio Calabria would be stupid. There are many new faces." Looking to the side he murmered, "I worry about the Vescovo name honestly and the future of our family."

[feeling_super]

"I gotta tell you, same thing's been on my mind too" Franky nodded with a frown. "Sometimes I worry Vesco is gonna die of extinction."

"Real glad you got Syaoran and Tsuna under our roof, cant afford to let anything happen to them. They're gonna have to carry the family one of these days" he said. "Syaoran doin' alright?" He asked suddenly, his expression changing to one of a more personal concern.

[arcabalenoborn]

"Tieria is working with him to get his G.E.D. Without that at least people won't take him seriously. Also, I will be speaking with the dean of a near by college to get Tsuna into college afterwards." Reborn leaned back.

"I'll let you in on something I am personally working on. When you meet Tsuna you will understand when I ask you to help me train him and Syaoran both." Reborn decided to lay the cards out on the table.

"I have commissioned the famous local mechanic...Spanner. He is comissioning me a special pair of gauntlet gloves. Syaoran fights with his feet and I want to teach Tsuna more to use his hands." He told Franky. "That way when Tsuna reaches Syaoran's level they both have strengths the other doesn't have."

[feeling_super]

Franky nodded. He knew about Spanner, guy did amazing work, he was envious.

"Sounds like a good plan, I'd love to help. What's he know already?" Franky asked. Of course, he'd learned to fight with his hands by fighting in bars. It wasn't formal, it was survival of the fittest. Franky and Reborn had a few things about their training styles in common.

"When am I gonna get to meet the kid?" He grinned.

[cucciolodileone]

He took this as his cue, a soft but strangely strong knock sounded at the door. Tsuna still needed his book so it would give him a reason to be here. It was the truth too!

[arcabalenoborn]

Looking to the closed door he spoke in that same soft timbre, "Come in." He looked back at Franky as he looked into the fire finishing up this conversation. "Just remember...Looks can be decieving Franky."

[arcabalenoborn]

"Yes. I am...and Also Franky. That is something that I would like Tsuna to run. He didn't have to because of his father I assume and because he was a package man. But, it would benefit him to show his worth once ready."

He looked to Tsuna. "Gokudera Hayato...He's very interesting indeed. Do you know him?"

[feeling_super]

"Yeah, it's a hell of a lot of fun for anyone who's not running it, too" Franky said, more teasing Tsuna than being serious. He understood what Reborn was saying and agreed wholeheartedly.

[cucciolodileone]

For some strange reason, he didn't think he would like running whatever they were speaking about.

"a-ah... yeah I went to school with Gokudera-kun. He is a friend of mine." The boy replied honestly. "Is he...is he coming to live here with us?" His brown eyes held a mixture of emotions.

Fear

worry

joy

excitement

These were just a few of the emotions his eyes expressed, and it blended with the smoldering flame that seemed to be making a constant appearance in his eyes. Honey colored orbs darted first up to Frankie as his lips were drawn into a serious line, then towards Reborn.

"... does he really want to join the family?" That soft boy-ish voice was gone, instead it was replaced with the voice of his other self. A strong and confidant man would has the makings of a leader.

[arcabalenoborn]

"Yes. He wants to join the family. It's in his blood as well Tsuna. there is nothing you can do to stop that." Reborn cautiously reminded the other as he stood there those flames in his eyes again. He looked to Franky.

"We will need to consult with the other capos to see what type of thing we can do for a test. Because one knows that being in the mafia means some sacrifices." He looked to Tsuna. "What would you do if Gokudera didn't meet the standards. You are aware that any blood that knows anything of Vescovo and isn't within it can be killed off...correct?"

"What will you do then...Tsuna?"

[arcabalenoborn]

Reborn looked back to Franky after Tsuna exited the room and shut the door, "So what do you think? Do you think the Don would have an interest in him? Honestly...Tell me what you think of him. You may vaguely remember his father...a field operative by the name of Iemitsu Sawada."

Something was there...A fondness? Something at an rate when Reborn spoke of Tsuna. It wasn't just for certain that was anything bad or good, but obviously if Reborn was interested, then it was something that would at least provide amusement.

[feeling_super]

"He's a good kid. Little immature for his age, but it looks like he really gets it together when he needs to. If we could clone him and get 10 just like him, we'd be in pretty super shape again" Franky said. "Gotta get him to stand up like that all the time, or the Don will eat him alive if he falters at all" Franky added honestly.

There was no maybe, no mostly, no because-i-have-to in the mofia. You had to want it so bad you'd keep asking for it until you either got it or they put a bullet through your brain.

"Looks like he's on the right track. I think I went drinking with his old man a few times. Cool guy"

[arcabalenoborn]

"His father actually saved my life once." He told the other leaning back in his chair looking at the ceiling. Iemitsu Sawada...If they only knew where he was right now. "That man. Is truly someone I'd follow to the depths of hell and back."

"I want to groom Tsuna. I have good feelings about him, he's younger now, and hasn't been involved directly in the mafia before now. His father sent me a letter asking me to train his son up into a mafia member we all could be proud of." Licking his lower lip he shut his eyes.

"I'll take responsibility for Tsuna and Syaoran right up until the end."

[feeling_super]

"I think you're doing a good job on em" Franky said seriously. "See you're going spartan on their asses though" He started to chuckle. "How hungry do you usually keep your dogs?" He asked.
