salvatorerossi:

"Mm."

"I see that."

"Oh, I should leave you to your drink. Sorry for interrupting." He stands with a smile.

[scottshale]

morte-dolce:

"Probably not. I’d be a bit too harsh for the Revelations if I was truly in charge. Break our no-kill rule and all that."

"Yeah, that would be a bad idea. And I do like Amando as our leader. No offense, of course."

[scottshale]

beatryczebrus:

"Well, that’s nice of you. Oh, pardon me, I forgot my manners. I’m Beatrycze."

"I'm Scott. It's nice to meet you."

[scottshale]

salvatorerossi:

"Very different indeed."

"What attracts you to each subject?"

"Uh, well, I like to read. And I like to write out my thoughts. I also enjoy computer programming. Logic is satisfying."

[scottshale]

salvatorerossi:

"I never attended university so alas I can’t relate, seemed a waste of time with regards the career path I took before entering this one so I opted against it. The correct decision for myself, I suppose."

"My goddaugher spoke to me briefly about the process when selecting her own major and it seemed laborious so I must pity you a little for having to do so. What subjects are you choosing between?"

"Uh, English. And Computer Science. Which are two very different majors."

[scottshale]

juliette-poesy:

"Well, Scottie. I’ll leave you to your video games."

"Okay, see you around, Juliette."

[scottshale]

beatryczebrus:

"Well, go right on ahead if I’m in the way. I’m old and slow anyway."

"Old? I don't think you're old or slow."

catinabronislaw:

She stared at the boy for a moment, blinking at him as she held back an eye roll. “I did. Which is precisely why I came down to ask you if you had it.”

"I do." He stands, opens a locked cabinet, and takes out a box. He sets this box on the table near where he was sitting. "But before you take it, do you want me to tweak it at all?"

[scottshale]

mischkasharapova:

"Ugh, alright fine. Here you go."

"Thank you." He takes the book and checks to see if his bookmark is still in place. "Uh, you should read this, if you get a chance. It's very good."

[scottshale]

salvatorerossi:

"Mm, rather well. I’m unsure as to if you follow politics or not but I was able to pass an education reform act this week, something which my colleagues and I have been working on for around a year now."

"But enough about myself, how are you Scott? Alas I know none of the past to compare your answer to, but it’s always nice to know how one is anyway."

"Congratulations on your new law." He takes Salvatore asking how he is as a invitation to sit, so he does, across from Salvatore, but doesn't make himself comfortable in case he is imposing. "I'm good. Just busy. With school," he quickly adds. "I'm in university. My major is undecided, before you ask."

[scottshale]

salvatorerossi:

"Salvatore, although I doubt the introduction is needed."

"You're right; it's not." Scott is a bit disappointed that Salvatore forgot him, but he doesn't mention it. "Er, so, how have you been?"

[scottshale]

salvatorerossi:

"Mm. No harm done at least."

"I apologize for asking but have we met in the past? Your face is one that is familiar to me, yet I struggle to place it."

"Yes, we have met before. A couple times. I'm Scott."

[scottshale]

beatryczebrus:

"…You know, you don’t have to follow me. I’m not going anywhere particularly interesting."

"Sorry, I'm not following you. Just headed in the same direction."

[scottshale]

catinabronislaw:

Well, you don’t say..

"Oh..." he says, embarrassed. "I guess you already knew the new model of earpiece you use is on the market now."

[scottshale]

salvatorerossi:

"You did a terrible job of ‘creeping up on me’, the way in which you walk up the stairs reminds me of an elephant in terms of volume.”

"I was trying not to disturb you. Sorry."

mischkasharapova:

What if someone else happens to have the same book?

"It's in English. I think the chances of someone dropping the same book in English here in Rome are much slimmer than the probability of that being my book."
