Well, nobody was coming with of their own accord, which didn't really surprise him. Everyone in this batch seemed to gravitate towards Nancy and Evelina save for one. However, Eve did see it fit to appoint him with a follower in the form of the young man known as Bartholomew. He hadn't met him earlier outside the house, but they were in proximity for the funeral and dinner, needless to say. However, this was technically speaking, their first meeting proper. Gio took a moment to study him more thoroughly. He seemed rather worn and downtrodden, perhaps a bit overly self-critical, but there was definitely potential. Sharp on the uptake, not in the habit of back talking any given instruction. Something deeper in his eyes. The kid was not his first choice for taking on an expedition (a statement that applied equally to all new Paradoxes, really), but at the same time, there shouldn't be much of an issue given the task.

[color=cca78e]"Well met, you may call me Giosue, Gio, Father Time, The Watch, Joshua or Joe. Any of those will do just fine. Names you may not use are 'Baldy,' 'Old Dude,' or [u]any[/u] variation of 'Jean-Luc Picard.'"[/color] With that brief introduction out of the way, Gio motioned for Bart to follow him, before turning around and heading to his room. As he walked, he spoke over his shoulder to his assigned companion. 

[color=cca78e]"Unlike everyone else here, you and I shall be taking a trip away from the Camp. Hopefully it'll just be an in-and-out type situation, but knowing how hard headed Alicia can be, it might be awhile. However, there shouldn't be any major troubles that would place you in danger. Don't take that as an excuse to not keep your wits about you. Never can be sure what you might run into out there. But think of this night as getting a head start on your fellow Paradoxes as far as travel and missions go."

"All that said, is there anything you'd like to do before heading out? Now would be the best time to use the bathroom, grab any last minute items you think you might need, or get a drink of water. That last one might do you well, even on an October night, Egypt's air can really wring out all the moisture from your throat, especially coming from a climate like this one."[/color]
