immamartillo | 5th Hat Flip [Voice/Action]

[Voice]

[It's early in the morning-after a night of much boredom and little sleep- when Firo opens his journal.]

I've been wonderin': what kinda weapons do people use back where you guys come from? Where I live, people'll fight with anything from fists to tommy guns, but I figure everywhere's gotta have somethin' different.

[Later that morning, Firo sets off running for the Battle Dome. He hasn't been too pleased with himself lately: he failed to be effective against the droids that attacked a few weeks ago, and then he couldn't even protect his friend from being mallynapped. Actually, ever since Ennis was kidnapped before his arrival in Luceti he's felt nagging feelings of uselessness. They've only been intensified by recent events.

He has to get stronger. The capos of his Family would be disappointed if they saw him like this. In the back of his mind Firo can practically hear Yaguruma berating him.

He spends most of the day at the Battle Dome, focusing on training until he's ready to drop (though feel free to interrupt him). Maybe trying to go so long without a break isn't a good idea, but that doesn't matter to Firo at this point. When nightfall comes, he wanders outside and slumps by the door, exhausted.

It doesn't matter, anything is fine.

[Czes has never been the picky type]

Well, okay... Got any suggestions, then?

[Come oooon, bro, tell him what you like.]

Why do you want my opinion so badly?

[BLINK]

Huh? Well, why wouldn't I want it when I'm cookin' for you?

[He just wants to make you happy!]

I half expected you to just make whatever you wanted. I wouldn't complain either way.

It's been a while since we last ate together.

[Or it seems that way to Firo, since he's been in Luceti so long.]

You really don't have a preference?

[Shaking his head] As long as it's actually edible it's fine.

[Siiigh.]

Of course it'll be edible--unless you mess me up.

[He's kidding!]

I'm not the one cooking. Besides, I think I'm a better cook than you are, Firo. So if anyone would mess up, it would be you.

[Well take that!!!]

What? I don't mess up! And how do you know you're a better cook?

[You looking for a fight, punk?]

Since I've been alive for hundreds of years now, that makes me more experienced. I did have to cook for myself a lot you know so I have the skills you don't.

[He'll beat you up]

[Ugh, stop making sense.]

I cook for myself all the time, you know. I think after a while it all evens out.

[Nope]

What do you cook, exactly?

[He folds his arms and raises his chin challengingly.]

Whatever I want.

That doesn't exactly give me an idea of how wide of a range your cooking skills are.

Yes it does. Just gimme a recipe and I can cook whatever.

[Well, he can try. Whether or not it'll be good is another matter entirely.]

Alright then. Next time I see you I'm going to find and give you a difficult recipe to make. I'll expect you to make it perfectly.

You-?

[Damn it, Czes, don't make him eat his words! He sighs.]

Fine, go ahead! I bet you just want free food.

I can get free food anywhere I'd like here. You do realize there is no currency here right?

...Point.

Then why do you wanna do that?

Because I want to see if you're just all talk. Which wouldn't surprise me if you were.

[If Firo didn't think of Czes as a little brother, and if he didn't know how much Ennis cared for the kid, he'd be on the verge of a very nasty tirade. As it is, he sighs and fixes Czes with a glare.]

You're a real brat, you know that?

And you're an idiot but some things can't be helped.

[Take that.]

Wh- Excuse me?

[It's not exactly news, but Firo thought that Czes would be a bit nicer.]

What the hell is your problem?

I don't have a problem. You called me a brat so I called you an idiot. Seems fair doesn't it?
