[Dino is at his desk on the Plane. His feet are propped up on the surface of the desk, and the jacket for the expensive suit his wearing is throw over the back of the chair he's leaning back in. His dress shirt is untucked and he's pulled his tie loose. There's also a plate of Cannoli on the desk itself, and Dino looks a bit tired.]

Leave the gun; take the cannoli.

Why does everyone start quoting that whenever they see cannoli? You would think people would get tried of it after a while.

Oh, don't give me that look. For all I know, The Godfather doesn't exist in your reality. And at least you don't have to put up with 'Master of what' all the time.

[Dino stiffens slightly, then forces himself to relax. He doesn't know whether to blame the caution and slight paranoia that being in a room full of other Mafia bosses has given him for making him read to much into things or not.] Why would people say something like that?

Because they're people, and people are habitual idiots. Honestly, some days I think I should just introduce myself as "Professor Thascales" rather than having to put up with it anymore.

[Hei is lurking! Because that's what he does. And he's attracted by the Cannoli.]

[And Dino is still hasn't quiet relaxed yet, so is very aware of his surroundings. He smiles slightly and waves at Hei.]

[Steps closer.] You look tired.

I just got out of the meeting between the Alliance bosses. That's always exhausting.

How did it go?

As well as these things can go I guess. I had to deal with the rumors that something had happened to me of course, but thankfully that was it.

At least things are back to normal. Nothing too terrible happened, did it?

No, which I'm surprised about. I'll still be cleaning up after this for a while though.

I've noticed that, as awful as the Twins' experiments can be, the lasting damage tends to be...somewhat minimal. [Says the guy who still has flashback hallucinations every so often :|]

They want to keep us around to play with us. Why would they want to break their toys permanently?

...Or break them just enough that they can have fun watching them try to pick up the pieces.

That's a scary thought, but it sounds like them.

It does.

[Looks up at the stars over head] I'm used to swimming with the sharks, it's what my life is about. I thought I was able to deal with everything until I found this place. Now I feel like I'm out of my depth.

[Follows his gaze and is silent for awhile.]

We all are. Just have to get used to the new depth.

If we can.
