[ it's all right, giovanni. we all know how defective you are. it's only partly your fault. ]

I'm a little surprised.

[ she must say. that means neither yes nor no. ]

Even the most vile company can be preferable to attending a gathering alone.

[ probably not the most persuasive comment to make but it at least absolves him of any strange vibe of friendliness that was tacked onto his request. ]

I made some mistakes in settling in here.

Old news.

[ touché. vile company that she is, she believes she's at least better than that sloppy-mouthed girl her brother was playing with.

but all right. all right. as he's being so insistent—plus his words are becoming more taxing to read than to extort—finally: ]

Fine. I will do you this favour, on the condition we make no associations with each other. I believe it would benefit the both of us to pretend we're strangers.

[ is it necessary to be so stringent? he'll play along for a lack of other options, but the effort does seem to be wasted. ]

As you say.

[ at least, he wouldn't make a show of it where anyone could listen in. if she'd still chastise him, then so be it. ]

One question.

[ —promptly deleted and withheld. though she'd wanted to ask him about what he knows about magato, she decides she'll find out what she wants to know on her own and leaves their conversation at that. ]

not here

[bark]

[ perhaps that's for the best. it seemed Magato knew more of Giovanni than he did of him. in any case, his implied concurrence ends the conversation. indeed, he would see her soon. ]
