[How long has it been, actually? Since he actually had to call in one of these meetings for the operatives of Passione to be a part of, and to actually discuss what the future would be? He realized that he had to put a lot of effort into actually making this dream of his run smoothly, and with the operatives cooperating, he actually found himself enjoying this little meeting of theirs. It's apparent, too, that Giorno is getting some slight amusement hearing the ideas run back and forth between the operatives, as he's merely jotting down some little notes over where he's sitting.

...that is, until something displeasing seems to run by Giorno's ears as a look of displeasure seems to shoot across his face. One of the operatives actually suggested that they start up the drug ring again, as it's a surefire way to get cash. Giorno seemed to cough a bit in displeasure from where he was sitting, his voice seeming to raise a bit.]

Do you really think that I would allow for such a thing to happen? We have been over this topic already; Passione made a vow to keep drug trafficking of other gangs to a bare minimum, and you dare suggest for such a thing to be allowed to start up once more? I would suggest you re-think your actions before-

[And he was cut off by said operative actually intervening in what Giorno had to say, giving off his little logic himself. And it was apparent that Giorno wasn't exactly pleased in the slightest, a ticked off look coming across his face. Oh boy, he looks as though he's about to mudamuda the operative right in the face. It takes him a little self restraint, but he finally manages to calm himself down, giving said operative a stern look.]

...do you really want such a thing to happen? For us to start that again? [His voice comes off as a bit threatening, but again, the operative seems to be persisting on this simple fact that Giorno seems to be getting pretty angry by this point. But...well, he's actually letting out a small chuckle afterwards. Why? Well, he's figured that there would be someone better suited to actually take down this operatives logic without him wasting breath...

And who better to do it then with the person he entrusted his very life, or rather, his love with? His gaze turned to the red-head sitting next to him, giving her a little nod, and allowing her to speak on his behalf before he actually lets lose on this operative.]

[ She can't say she's always super interested in these meetings. Most of the time she just comes along since Giorno wants her to, since she offered to help him out too and all.. it's just that the topics aren't always too interesting so half of the time she just ends up staring out of a window while idly listening to the conversation or something along those lines. This time, even though she at first isn't looking, she can hear it's getting a little tense though. She's been together with Giorno for a while already now and so - despite his usual lineface - she can tell the various emotions in it. Not that it's hard to see how his tone is bordering on threatening, and with good reason. Ange knows Giorno doesn't want to be that kind of mafia, he'd never want to. Didn't he exactly become the boss of the mafia to stop things like this?

When the discussion keeps going on she finally returns her attention to the matter at hand, glancing at the guy who keeps insisting they should do something like this.. and then she glances at Giorno instead when the guy speaks up. It's also then that she notices him glancing at her.. Ange blinks for a moment before she realises she's supposed to say something now, huh? Fine, fine..

She finally returns to a more interested pose instead of leaning her cheek on her fist and glances at the guy who spoke up with her usual deadpan expression. ]

... You know, thinking like that is entirely backwards. Even if we'd start that, it would mean having to deal with all the other gangs that do that and make sure we can compete with them just to get money.. it'd be way easier to just do something about them and get their money that way instead. [ Like her protest isn't moral.. she does care about that aspect, but she figures it isn't going to do much for these guys since Giorno already started about that. Ange can easily adapt, and her outward indifference helps with being convincing. ] Way less effort, right?

[ventoaureo]

[Oh, good, she actually saved the boy the trouble of actually giving the guy a good talking to himself- seeing as how the other members (Mista really only sits around and eats pizza half of the time, whereas Trish looks like she's about to punch the guy too) react and oppose to the others idea. Eventually, he backed down, as Ange gave a little wink to Ange's direction as the meeting actually continued.

By the end of it all, Giorno actually seems a little satisfied with how the results played out as he approaches his fellow line faced companion, actually easing up for a tiny smile when he's near her.]

I take it you weren't too bored throughout the whole thing, signorina? I apologize, I know the topics aren't the most interesting things, and I still don't know why you manage to stay for them, but... [He can get a feeling she just wants to be there for him, and it's really making him blush internally because of it.]

[entreats]

[ It's easier for both of them to express emotions for once when they're alone, really.. Or, well, Ange actually isn't as linefaced as she pretends to be, it's more just that it's easier to keep up that kind of expression around others. It's to not show weakness, to not show something someone else could take advantage of. But this is Giorno, and if there's anyone she trusts more than anything, with her life or anything else, it's him. She loves him, after all.

So his own small smile is mirrored on her face when she hears what he's saying. ]

It's okay. The idiots keep me interested enough. [ It's only funny when some moron tries to speak up with an obvious bad idea.. Ange genuinely does enjoy that, okay, she thinks it's hilarious even if she doesn't really show that. ] .. Although I guess you were the best part about it, really.. [ And with that she leans in for a moment to briefly kiss him on the lips before pulling back. ]

[ventoaureo]

[He's never going to get used to how open the girl is now that they're together. The kiss, albeit he does like them, catches him off guard most of the time, mostly because he doesn't seem to have the right words or actions to really react to them most of time. The life of an Italian mobster and socially awkward teenager...whatever, he's letting out a little bit of a light cough after she does pull back, a mild blush coming up to his face as he turns around to hide his actual embarrassment. Although, he knows that Ange could figure him out easily...]

H-Hm, right, they are a rather idiotic bunch, aren't they? I do hope that they do manage to fix themselves out in the future, only to save them the trouble of not suffering through my wrath... [Although he's only saying that last part a little jokingly. Either way, his back is still turned to her to hide his ever so increasing blush that's appearing on his face.]

....and...I only do try to make these meetings entertaining to please you in the first place...it brings me joy actually seeing you come to these things and I...love you dearly.

[entreats]

[ .. Man. Giorno is actually.. pretty cute, isn't he? When she first met him he seemed so tough and unfazed by everything, but it's true, in the end he's just a teenager like her-- heck, he's even younger than her, it's only normal for him to get embarassed by this stuff too just like she does sometimes. But she doesn't mind it at all, she actually likes it that he can be a little bit more open with her sometimes too, it's why she can't wipe the smile off her face now it's just the two of them. ]

.. Don't be silly. I promised that I'd help you out, so this is the least I can do. [ Sure, she doesn't have Stands like him or his close friends, but.. she can still try to help in her own way like this. Not like she's awful with a gun either, so she can at least carry around one of those just in case. ] This is the easier work, either way. Even if it's a little boring.

[ At least she does leave him alone for moment, not seeking out contact, since it's not like she wants to embarass him too much, she's giving him a moment here. ]

[ventoaureo]

[He's still not sure what to do in this situation, especially since she's not doing anything physically to him at the moment. It takes him a while to actually recompose himself, mostly since he finds that himself being caught off guard is...well, something he's not used to and quite embarrassing. But he wouldn't really mind if Ange was the only one that really saw it. So, when he does turn around, he leans in to give the girl a kiss of his own, pulling back as a smile forms back unto his lips.]

And I'm glad you do help me out. Honestly, it's a bit easier if we just have meetings like this. I'd prefer you not get wrapped up in the uglier things... [Meaning; he'd rather not her get involved in any gang wars that might happens, but even then, it does seem like it's going to happen...

But he's had enough standing about. He's already holding out to the girl, waiting for her to clasp unto it.] ...shall we head off...?

[entreats]

What, right into those uglier things of yours? [ It's just a joke, of course. Even though Ange is well aware she could be caught up in something like that any moment.. she honestly doesn't care. It's not too different from the kind of life she had before and the only difference is that Giorno's by her side now - a difference that immediately makes everything so much more bearable. It doesn't even bother her anymore. As long as he's right there, as long as she can grab his hand like she does now and feel the warmth of it... she'll be fine no matter what. For sure. ]

Well, I guess I don't have much to worry about with a real mafia boss by my side though.

[ Teasing him a little now. Sure, he might be one in name and all, but since she knows him so well thinking of him as a mafia boss is almost sort of.. funny. Sure, he has the calm and intelligence for it, but in the end Giorno is just Giorno to her. ]

[ventoaureo]

[That joke at least gets a small chuckle out of Giorno.] I think the uglier things would be the least of your concerns before I have to show you the true ugliness that comes with this business... [At least he can feel comfortable about joking with the other girl around him. If anything, he's more lax with her then around anyone else. All he ever thinks of Ange is that she's herself, and he's himself. At least feeling the warmth of her grabbing unto his hand gives him the incentive to pull her a bit closer to him.]

You make it sound like it's a special title...but it has been something I've been working hard at. Is there anywhere you would like to go today? I'm sure you must be hungry after this little meeting.

[He's pretty hungry himself- all that pent up anger manifested into the hungries.]

[entreats]

Ah.. anywhere's fine, really. You know I'm not picky.

[ Ange might come from a rich family and all, but it doesn't mean she has snobby tastes. She never wanted all that money either way so she prefers actually more simple things instead of doing everything so overly fancy.. it's why she just casually shrugs at his question, like she really just doesn't care. ]
