Al just stared for a moment, unsure of how to respond to that. Seriously, did she actually just say that?

"What." He said finally. "No. Why. That's a-... What."

He shook his head, trying to get his thoughts in order so he could explain his... let's go with [i]concerns[/i]... properly.

"Alright sis, let's take a break for a second here and think about this logically." He said, his voice struggling to remain steady. "So these guys, this pair, this random idiot and his sick brother, break into our house, blame [i]us[/i] for it, shows a complete and utter lack of any intelligence, [i]blames us[/i], tells us our parents ar-... missing... pushes a small table in front of the door he broke down, cooks dinner and, and I can't emphasise this enough, [i][b]blames us![/i][/b] And for some reason, we're not only [i]not[/i] telling him to fuck off, we're leaving a possible safe place to wait this thing out to wander across a continent in the process of collapsing [i]with[/i] him... Now are you absolutely sure this is the plan we wanna go with?"

As if to emphasise Al's doubts, Giovanni exited the room at that exact moment, looking at the two as he went to get the bottle of water for his brother.

"Cat, Imp, stop gossiping and go to the room, before your food gets cold. You're eating it even if it does, so I don't wanna hear you brats complaining about it."

And then he continued down the stairs, leaving Al to point frantically in his direction.

"Ya see?!" He said, unable to keep the frustration out of his voice anymore. "I don't wanna go anywhere with that jackass!"
