[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.

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?

I called you a brat because you were actin' like one!

[Was he acting like an idiot?

Don't answer that.]

And when aren't you an idiot?

[Firo. Pls.]

[He takes a deep breath through gritted teeth. Don't yell, don't yell...]

That's not for you to say.

Then who is to say? [Enlighten him bro]

It's for nobody to say, got it?

[Except his capo societa or the other high-ranking Martillos. Or Luck. Or Ennis. Just not a freeloader.]

Not even Ennis, Maiza or the Martillos? [Are you honestly going to not allow them to call you out when you're an idiot, Firo]

Wha-? That's completely different!

[Don't bring them into this, it only makes Firo wonder if they'd be at all pleased with his attitude right now.]

How is that different? You just said nobody is to say when you're an idiot.

[HE HAS YOU CORNERED]

Because... Because they don't count for stuff like that.

[They're special!

...Okay, even Firo realizes that's stupid.]

[JUST THIS FACE.

Firo pls.]

[He looks at Czes, then covers his face with his hands.]

...Just quit it, okay?

Suit yourself. [Czes: 1 Firo: 0]

[Harumph. Firo will sulk silently for a while.]

So did you say you wanted to your place first, or do you wanna come over right now?

I thought we were going to your house. Did you forget already?
