X [Video; Latin and Roman Common (Italian)]

[sancta_sedes]

[The video comes on as Alessandro is kneeling at the side of a bed. He is holding his Rosary in his hands, bent in prayer. Though the video just came on, it seems he has been doing this consistently for a while now. In a soft voice he recites scripture to himself unsteadily in Latin. He is obviously afraid and is searching for any sort of solace he

Are you okay, Alessandro-kun?

[sancta_sedes]

I'm worried.... Th-things are getting so bad. And... F-Father Nightroad he....

FFFFF! I totally didn't forget about this. x_x

[playwitchu]

Are you someplace safe?

....

*This was hard for her to say but...*

Don't worry, Papa will be able to take care of himself. I doubt that he will get into too much trouble.

It's okay~ \o/

[sancta_sedes]

I'm w-with Sister.

[He had his doubts about that, but....]

I have f-faith in him.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we turn to thee, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To thee we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not despise our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer us.

And come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created. And you shall renew the face of the earth.

Amen.

Is the chill bearable, Il Papa?

[sancta_sedes]

It's too c-cold.

[13th_crusader]

Perdonami, Il Papà.

I would offer you what provisions I had.. were I not bound to the hospice.

I would imagine such a culture shock as this for you, even if our Vatican is on different plains; I'm hardly accustomed to the cold either.

A... subordinate of mine would have suggested this... Yet if you will, perhaps you would do well to stay close to your sister. The shared warmth between you will kindle you through this small trial.

[sancta_sedes]

I n-never knew it could g-get like this. I-it was beyond my i-imagination....

Please also t-take care, and stay w-warm. I will s-stay as close as possible to Sister, and p-pray we all make it th-through this trial.

[[ooc: I am now torn between the knowledge that Alessandro is going to die, and Giovanni is going to be stuck in Gohl for the most part. He will not be pleased to find out the bambino suffered such a tragedy.]]

Stay warm, Alessandro. And near your sister. I will--I will see you when I return. [Yeah, that's wind you hear in the background because he's an idiota and is outside. Rather, he is just getting back into the greenhouse. He'll be "stuck" there for a while before those stubborn children decide to go home and he escorts them.]

[sancta_sedes]

(OOC: It is so sad, but I came to the conclusion that there is no realistic way for someone so unaccustomed to such harsh conditions to get through it unscathed. I figured he would probably end up freezing to death. x.x;)

I will k-keep with her. Please stay w-warm yourself, in th-these harsh conditions, w-we must take care.

[betrayedblade]

[[Yeah, I can see that. It's just...if Giovanni were nearby--actually in his own apartment building instead of his friend's--then he'd be around to look over the poor guy. Omg, he will never forgive himself for this. Alessandro reminds him too much of Petruccio. ;__;]]

Yes, of course. I plan to be back in the apartments soon. I just have to take care of some...thing first.

[sancta_sedes]

(Oh Giovanni. T.T I am so sorry for you're future pain.)

I u-understand.

[loyal_cube]

[Little blip of frequency but Cube doesn't say anything, just listening and hoping Abel is alright as well. He was going to say something but... decides against it.]

[sancta_sedes]

[He doesn't notice, he's busy praying to God for everyone's well-being.]

[3_hat_day]

... Amen.

[sancta_sedes]

In the end, th-this is all I can do.

[3_hat_day]

It's a lot more than you think. A little faith... goes a long way.

[sancta_sedes]

Y-you think so?
