[Shivering, Ryunosuke stared where the "locomotive" had left, moving his hands slightly up and down his upper arms to try and calm himself. A suspicious look creeps onto his face while he wonders in which kind of mess he got himself again. He starts to take a few steps, muttering words under his breath.]Just what the...! Why do such things keep

[A very upset young brown-haired man just so happens to search the train station at the time, calling for his brother. Except for being dirty, a week in the catacombs has left him none the worse for wear, but his nerves are shot after a week of having nothing to do but fret.]

Lovino! Lovino! Are you here, Lovi?

[action]

[morethanpasta]

[Well, that is a cue he won't ever turn down.]

Pasta is the best food ever! Have you never had any? You look like you're Asian, so I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't, but you have to try it! It's delicious. I'll make you some whenever you want!

[He hums thoughtfully, realizing that he has promised quite a few people to cook for them. He has neglected his friends lately, hasn't he? Going from one Lovino-induced crisis to the next, he hadn't spent as much time socializing and caring for his other loved ones as he would have liked. Maybe it's time to change that... Maybe he will have to, if Lovino is truly gone. But he won't accept that, not yet!]

Well, no. I did not and well, I am Japanese.

[He's a bit surprised at the sudden flow of words and praising after all those bad news, though it was a welcome change of topic. Though food was the last thing on his mind.]

Do you offer that to anyone? Someone might try to take advantage of that.

[action]

[morethanpasta]

Ve? [He blinks owlishly.] Take advantage? I don't mind if someone eats a lot. I have a large appetite, too. If you're hungry, it's alright to ask for seconds. Or thirds.

You don't worry someone tries to rob you when you invite a complete stranger to your house?

[action]

[morethanpasta]

Ve? Worry about... robbery? [He blinks some more. That thought has never occured to him.] Why would anyone want to steal from me? Well... my brother stole my paintings and everyone liked to steal my lands, but that was a long time ago! I have strong friends now. They wouldn't let anyone steal my possessions.

[action]

[servant_dog]

[Ryunosuke sighs.]

You even got robbed and yet you don't worry? You're quite something. If you can trust them enough...

Re: [action]

[morethanpasta]

I trust my friends completely! They're my very best friends in thd world and save me whenever I'm in trouble. It's nice to have strong friends like that.

[action]

[servant_dog]

Strong friends, huh?

Re: [action]

[morethanpasta]

[He nods solemnly.] Strong friends are important. They save you when you're getting bullied... and having friends is always nice!

[He tilts his head to the side.] Do you have friends at home which you miss? Or a family? What's your name anyway?

[action]

[servant_dog]

[There's a part of him who wanted to laugh - it would be nice to have something like that, but the greater one was to see how different this guy and he himself were.]

None at all. My parents have both died. [And in all honesty, he didn't miss them. Either of them. The tone in his voice made clear that he didn't particularly care for his parents.]
Ibuki Ryunosuke. Yours?

[He coos in sympathetic distress. How horrible!]

I'm sorry! Are you all alone now? I'm Italy Veneziano, North Italy, but you can call me Feliciano. My Japanese friend says that's easier. I'll be your friend if you like!

[Promising to be friends with people who have none has gotten him in trouble before - sometimes there is a good reason no one wants to be friends with a person - but he's not thinking of that now.]

[action]

[servant_dog]

Well, all alone... ?

[Feliciano had a point. He was kind of all alone. If anything happened to him, nobody would care and he knew that.]

Is that a good idea? You don't even know me.

[action]

[morethanpasta]

[Feliciano laughed lightly.]

But when you meet someone new, you never know them! That's what meeting new people means. You'll only get to know them if you give them some of your trust and try to become their friends.

[action]

[servant_dog]

Th-that's not what I meant! I meant... isn't it better first to get to know me and then to offer your friendship?

Re: [action]

[morethanpasta]

Ve~ we can do that if you would prefer it? [His voice is soft and hesitant.]
