[While G was completely oblivious to the amount of time he had been gone, he was very aware of the heavy grog that seemed to cloud his brain. Damn he felt like crap. While he was lacking the typical pounding headache that usually came with waking up in a bed with no idea how he got there, he thought better than to take any chances.

And as much as he hated the little mirror talkie... whatever-the-fuck-it-was thing... it was a necessary evil right now. He fumbles with it for a moment before the read head comes on the screen... clearly having made no effort to hide the fact that he just woke up mere moments ago. His hair is a tussled mess, and there's a light layer of stubble on his jar.]

stupid little piece of shit... how the hell do i- oh...

[He clears his throat and with a level of grace and sophistication that only the mafioso could reach addresses the public, his words heavily laced with grog.]

Alright, whatever the hell I did last night and whoever I did last night, I did not mean anything I said it was just a bunch of rubbish and lies and you should ignore it. And if someone would be kind enough to tell me what the hell happened last night it would be appreciated.

[And he just tossed the thing off to the side while he got out of bed to try and get ready for the day, forgetting to turn it off as usual.]

[ Madoka makes a sound like 'hmh' and stares at G's bed for a moment, contemplating the chances of somehow having overlooked him being in there. No. Definitely not. ]

You certainly haven't been in there for the past time though.... you had us worried.

[ With him being already dead it had been a ton more alarming to see that he was gone, at least for Madoka. As for the 'us'... she just generally assumed that the other people G was close to were worried as well, it seemed to be about right. ]

[With one hand on his hip, his other hand reached up to his forehead to rub his temples.]

yeah, that whole... thing where I don't know where I was is what's got me on edge.

[At he last statement he chuckled, and removed his hand from his forehead to ruffle her hair again.]

There's nothin' to worry about kiddo. The man who can kill me hasn't been born yet.

[Bit of an ironic statement considering he was already dead, but it was something he always used to say when he and Giotto had just narrowly avoided death. Got a bit of and ego about it, and it was true in a way, nobody had actually killed him.]

[ She looked up and him and almost glared a bit for a short moment. Not only she wasn't convinced about this statement, but she was also still iffy about having worried so much, even if she knew it was hardly his fault probably. ]

Hey, that's not stopping me though. Worrying for those close to me is what I do.. at least when I can't go and help them.

[He smiled and moved his hand to sit on her shoulder, giving it a little squeeze.]

And protectin' those close to me is what I do, and I can't do that if I go and get myself all sick and broken up. I'll take care of myself kiddo, it's part of my job.

[ Madoka sighed and her expression changed back to a little smile. ]

That's what they all say and then they don't take care at all. I'll trust you though.

[And he got a good laugh out of that.]

Well, think of it this way- what's the worst anyone could try and do to me? Kill me? I can bet better men have tried and failed.

[And women for that matter. He did a damn good job at making a few unstable ones Very. Angry. Not to mention a few femme fatales who set their sights on him..]

Really doll, this place is a breeze compared to some of the people that came after me back in my day...

[ Bah, G, this behavior is arrogant and even more worrisome. ]

Alright, but that doesn't mean you should take safety for granted! It's exactly as in mechanics... you overlook one detail and the dirt starts gathering up inside... and slowly it just destroys everything from the inside, doing damage by friction.
Keeping on eye on the big picture isn't enough, you followin'?

[He just shook his head at all her worries. Really, a twelve year old trying to school a professional hitman on his personal safety. ]

Alright mom I'll be careful.

[he let out a sigh]

Between you and Ugetsu it' hard to say which one of you two tries to mother me more. You'd both make me fat and lazy if I let you.

[ Madoka seemed almost surprised for a moment. She rarely got called out for being all mother-y, the boys usually would just storm of, completely ignoring her. She blushes a little and huffs. ]

I suppose I'm just... used to doing this... It kind of comes with always being surrounded by the boys... they can be so reckless at times, it's amazing.

[ And god, she missed them. ]

Well, nothing revolutionary ever happened by followin' the rules. And better us than you.

[Though if that's what she was used to, she was probably bored out of her mind in this place... like he was. Well, he knew a few solutions for that...]

Hey, kiddo you ever gone fishing before?

[ Madoka shook her head ]

No. I have a friend who's good at it, but I've never even actually seen him do it.

[ And he certainly didn't have a fishing rod back then... one of the mysteries that had been left unsolved over time... ]

Get your coat, I'll show ya. It'll give you somethin' to do besides worry about everyone else.

[He grabs his own coat... which much to his chagrin is the ratty old pirate coat, and then a pair of fishing rods.]

[ First he's gone and then when he returns he'll show her how to fish? Madoka was a bit taken aback, but she wouldn't complain.
She really needed something to do and spending some time with G sounded really good as well. Especially after he'd been gone.
So she quickly slips away to get a jacket (not like hers looked exactly good, she was Cinderella after all) and then returned after a moment ]

[He pauses to look over her jacket and just sighs, shaking his head. Slipping off his own, he plops it on her head.]

Use that one.

[He'll manage without one for a day... even if he detested this weather, he could live without a coat this once. Opened the door to let her out side and followed after. He picked up some raw meat on the way over and lead her to the spot he had claimed as his own when he went fishing. It was quiet, far off the frequently traveled path, but the spot itself looked like it had gotten some good use. G had a tendency to spend a lot of time here... especially when he was tired of playing the social game.]

Here it is, hope you don't mind keepin' this place to yourself. Last thing I need is for Ugetsu or Lampo to come houndin' after me for one reason or another...

[ Madoka didn't feel as if she needed to other coat, but as she was now, she knew better than to disobey orders, especially those of housemates. She had yet to notice that it was Cinderella shining through, though. ]

...thanks.

[ Arriving at G's apparent favorite she looked around smiling. And with his comment she felt just really happy. Madoka couldn't quite place a finger on why, but it was nice. ]

My lips are sealed!

[ She made a zipper gesture over her mouth. ]

I'm not telling anybody.

[He smiles at the childish gesture, he had no doubts she would keep the secret. He kicked off his shoes, and rolled up his pant legs a bit to keep them from getting wet.

Grabbing the bucket, meat, and fishing rods he took a few steps out onto some rocks that lead them further into the water. He sat down on one and let his feet dangle in the water, it was far colder than what he was used to in Italy, but it was such an ingrained habit he couldn't be bothered to change it. He set the bucket down next to him and motioned Madoka over.]

[ Madoka slipped out of her shoes as well, not wanting them to get wet. They were wooden after all and she figured that she did not want to try and see what the water would do to them over time. The wet ground was cold against her feet and for a moment she seemed to mind, but then she adjusted to the feeling and hopped over. When she got to the rocks though and sat down, contrary to G she pulled her feet up.
The place reminded her a bit of the forests around Komamura and she let her hand dip into the water for a moment, feeling the cool flow against her fingertips. It was somewhat relaxing. ]

[He handed her one of the rods and a little bit of the raw meat]

Put that on the tip of the hook, makes sure it's on nice and secure so the fish can't just take it an run.... er... swim.

[He takes his own fishing rod to prepare his hook]

It's usually better to use live bait, when I was your age I would run around and catch grasshoppers and crickets to stick on the hook. [he chuckles] I didn't think you'd appreciate that much.

[As out of touch as he typically was when it came to social norms, he knew enough to figure out that most people don't take well to impaling live, squirming, insects on hooks.]

Edited 2012-02-28 21:18 (UTC)

[ For a tiny moment she seems to be unsure about the raw meat even, but it only takes her the blink of an eye to adjust and with a smile and a nod she proceeds to fixate the meat on the hook.

The thought of using living insects has her shivering though ]

Alright, that's true, I wouldn't...

[He gets a little chuckle out of her shiver, but saying nothing moreon the subject. Instead he moves his rod on the position to cast it.]

Alright, hold it like this....

[And then he whips it forward, letting the hook fly a good distance into the water]

And cast it.

[ She watches his position closely, as if trying to analyze the way the muscles needed to play together for it. Then she mentally slapped herself, this wasn't beyblading, she didn't have a laptop and just copying the pose to the best of her abilities would be enough.

Well, she didn't do bad... and also not really brilliant. The hook landed about half-way to the distance G made it, but at least she had not gotten herself tangled up in anything. ]

Uh... like that?

[Gives her a pat on the head, it was a good for first try.]

Y'did good! Now for the best part.

[He wedged his fishing rod between the rocks and reclined back on the large flat rock he was sitting on, with his arms folded behind his head. He took a deep breath, then let it out with a content sigh, actually letting himself relax.]

[ She was really getting used to the head-pat-hair-ruffling at this point. It really wasn't so bad.
Madoka took a deep breath of the fresh air and smiled, eyeing G shortly before returning her attention to the water as she watched it flow slowly. Her smile grew wider. This was another kind of quiet than the boredom at home, this was calm. (And let's face it, she got to enjoy calm rather rarely at home.) ]

... mhm... niiice...

[ More of a sigh than actual words. ]

[G made a noise in agreement as he just took in the sights and sounds. It would be a while before any fish started biting, but that was fine. Simply laying out in the sun was fine by him.

No words were needed, it was just a little bit of peace that he liked to enjoy with how tumultuous this place could get. He assumed it was good for the kid as well.]

[ Yes, peaceful silence it was and Madoka was not intending to break that for quite a while. She watches the nature, the water, or closed her eyes and seemed to be pretty content just like this. ]
