streetwalkers | Cloudy with a chance of... kittens?

[It was a day with nothing to do, and Mukuro was spending it mingling with the crowd, taking amusement at the differences in tourists and natives in old Rome. It was more comfortable in Italy, really -- the words around him filtered through his mind much more easily than the still slightly awkward Japanese, and there was no pausing to second-guess the meanings of signs and directions. Really, it was such a pain to keep up a smooth appearance when one wasn't entirely sure whether the person giving you orders was telling you that they were happy or spicy.

On another note, the weather was so much milder, warm and balmy, and simply made walking around generally more pleasant. Of course, regardless of the weather, it was never any fun to trip over a box on the side of the street. Quick reflexes kept him from losing his balance, but he felt a spark of irritation as he looked down to kick the box out of the way. Only before he could, he noticed its contents -- five tiny, mewing, squirming kittens.

It was a whim, yes -- but he wondered, if Sawada Tsunayoshi was afraid of dogs, how did he feel about cats? Well, this would be a convenient way to find out. He stooped to close the box, then hefted it into his arms before turning on his heel and heading back in the direction of the base. It'd take awhile to get there, but he could stand the walk.]

I always liked choco-bananas better.

Oh? Well perhaps I should get you some, then.

Really?

Why not?

[ Haha- ]

Will you have one with me?

I suppose, if that's what you want.

I'd like that.

You are entirely too sentimental, you know.

Maybe I am. What's wrong with that?

Because, you see... [Here he leans in close, lips right at Tsuna's ear.]

I'll only hurt you in the end.

[ Tsuna doesn't falter, not even when he closes his fingers lightly over Mukuro's wrist. ]

I'm stronger now.

You are. But are you strong enough?

I have to be. [ He doesn't know. ]

We'll see if you can, when the time comes. In the meantime--

[And it's in that moment that a kitten reaches up from the box to catch and dangle from Mukuro's tie :D]

--Oh.

[ --oh my god, that is so precious. ): Tsuna starts cracking up. ]

I think it likes you.

Clearly it suffers from the same lack of survival instinct as you. [Plucking the kitten off and tossing it unceremoniously back into the box now.]

[ My god you kitten tosser. Nuts does not approve. Snatching the box away from Mukuro and eyeing the kitten, checking if it's okay. ]

Don't do that.

[It wasn't tossed very far, it's fine. >:]

It bothers you that much?

You shouldn't pick on things smaller than you, Mukuro.

Oh? Well, that would rule out most animals and children. A good number of adults, too. Who else am I supposed to pick on? I suppose there is that rain guardian of yours...

[ ...he'd say Xanxus, and Chikusa, but no. ]

Can't you just get along with everyone?

That would be boring.

I don't think I'll ever understand you.

Oh? That's good, because I wouldn't want you to.

[ shakes his head, and steadies the box of kittens in his arms. heading back down the hall!! ]

Did you need anything else besides dropping off the cats?
