You and I need to have a talk! [Had his voice quivered? Well, only ever so slightly, that didn't count, did it?]
Reply
Do we. [He folds his arms and watches the newcomer calmly. He looks like he'll go scurrying off the first time he gets looked at funny.]
Reply
Ye... yes? [He gulped. A tentative nod. Uhuh. They needed to talk. Boss said so.] I'm here to warn you! You've made some people very angry! [Feliciano reached out to poke him in the chest with a finger. That was plenty intimidating, wasn't it?]
Reply
"Y-yes?" [He echoes the words in a smirking mockery of the young man's hesitant tone.] Is that a question or a declarative statement? And you're telling me I'm making people mad? Holy crap, stop the presses. [David bats away the finger lightly. That's him being nice. Well, for a given value of 'nice'.]
Reply
[He pulled his hand back and cradled it protectively against his chest. He would need that finger, later, for the roughing up part... Gulp.
Ve! I'm trying to tell you to stop it, I'm just trying to help you! [Whining his way to success? Why, yes, it's always worth a try.]
Reply
[And oh, good grief. Now he just feels bad. It's like kicking a puppy.]
You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. [And that insubordinate attitude is probably why he's getting this visit in the first place, but. Screw 'em.]
Reply
But... I am supposed to take care of you! [He opened his mouth again to add something, closed it again. Somehow, that had sounded different when the boss had told him "take care" of the problem.] Not that I'm supposed to take care of you, but it would be nice if you could... He trailed off helplessly.]
Ve! Can't you just promise to behave?
Reply
Shortstuff, in case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly the behaving type. [He sighs and leans back in his seat, fixing him with a skeptical look.] No one tells me what to do. I'm only here because it's convenient.
[He raises an eyebrow.] How'd you get stuck with this job, anyway? He couldn't come himself?
Reply
Ve~ I think it started with the boss looking for someone to do this job... and my brother coming up with an excuse, but I was too busy eating pasta to realize I should be thinking of excuses.
[He sighed melodramatically and slumped his shoulders. How could pasta have betrayed him like that?]
But he let me finish my dessert before he sent me off. [Never let it be said boss can't be nice.]
Reply
Did you ever think it might be - you know - a bad idea to come threaten someone who can do what I can?
[Admittedly, he's not very threatening in his normal form. But he's assuming Feliciano knows about his morphing. After all, that's why he was recruited.]
That's not being nice. That's him giving you a last meal. Good grief.
Reply
He tilted his head to the side and eyed David warily. He gulped. He had been doing a lot of that today and he still wasn't at the roughing up part. He had heard picked up some gossip about his powers, everyone had, but he wasn't particularly interested in knowing too much about scary things... and boss might have mentioned something about what exactly David could do, but the gelato had been awfully good. It had been chocolate and raspberry gelato.]
You wouldn't do anything bad to me, would you? It's my job to beat you up. [Just in case David's confused about that part.]
Reply
The look he's giving Feliciano now is a speculative one - he's not eyeing him as a threat, but then, he never was. At worst this timid, well-dressed young man was a distraction. At best... well, he's not sure yet. The would-be 'messenger' is still an unknown quantity. But he seems to do what he's told without asking too many questions. There's... possibility there.]
Well, you and I both know that's not happening, so how about this - I don't hurt you and you work for me. I was gonna take over this outfit anyway, it's just a matter of time. But it's easier if I've got some people on the inside, you know?
Reply
Well, that did absolutely nothing to help him figure out what he's supposed to say.]
I... I don't think boss would like that very much. [He bites down on his bottom lip anxiously.] Couldn't you just let me punch your shoulder?
Reply
Although something tells him this guy hasn't thought his current allegiances through very closely either.]
No, he probably wouldn't. [He rolls his eyes at the suggestion.] And no, you're not going to punch my shoulder.
Reply
[Feliciano doesn't even wait for a response, he knows the answer is going to be no. David seems to be one of these stubborn people. Well...]
I suppose it would be nice to have a different boss. Our boss isn't very nice, is he? To send me to hurt people... What did you do to make him angry?
