[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

Lovino! Lovino! Are you here, Lovi?

That's a new one! People usually call me cute or stupid... or both.
[He tilts his head to the side, peers thoughtfully at Ryunosuke and rubs his nose.]
Ve~ did I tell you everything you need to know? I told you you've been kidnapped... I welcomed you... I offered you pasta... Oh! Do you know how to work the watch? And you need someplace to stay!

You didn't tell me if that belonged to you.
[He gets a hold of the watch again.]
A place would not be bad.

It's yours. Everyone gets a watch when they arrive in Ruby City. It's not a watch, though, it's used for communication. You can use it to write letters and like a telephone, with pictures, even! Just play around with the little fiddly wheels and buttons and you'll figure it out, eventually, that's how I did it!
[Feliciano bounces a bit on the spot.] A place to stay, ve~ [His first idea is to take him home like a stray puppy, but Feli offering him his friendship had already disturbed him and he doesn't want to scare away his new friend.] My... mentor took me in and cared for me. Some people here provide newcomers with a place to stay, the places are listed on the posters. [He hums thoughtfully. Maybe owing a stranger will be even less desirable to Ryunosuke than owing a new friend? He reminds Feli a bit of Lovino, pessimistic as he is about human nature.] But the city's full of empty houses. If you don't mind living on your own, ( ... )

[There's an astonished look on his face. What a mysterious object indeed.]
Used for communication, huh?

You can take a house just like that? I don't have to pay for it?

[After the first shock, he sighed. Well, this guy couldn't know it, could he? Ryunosuke takes a more thoughtful pose.]
He saved my life. I am doing chores for him now to repay him.

Oh! I see! Are you a maid? I was Austria's maid when I was small! Does he make you wear a dress, too?
Reply
[He gives him a really weird look.]
No, I'm not his maid and he doesn't make me wear dresses. He has Shimabara to entertain himself with the ladies.
[The thought of that made Ryunosuke shudder. That was really the last thing he wanted to imagine.]
You had to wear a dress?

Yes, Mister Austria had me wear a dress! A little maid dress with an apron and everything. I looked very cute. [He wrinkles his forehead thoughtfully.] I think he mistook me for a girl... or maybe Hungary thought it's funny. She's always been a bit odd about boys in girl's clothes. But I think Austria thought I was a girl!
