There were many such ways the emendator could have chosen to answer the cliches thrown his way, but a better thought occurred to him: don't reply any way whatsoever. The boy had no authority over him whatsoever, the questions didn't interest him in any way whatsoever, and he had no other external factors that made him beholden to respond to Bart. So he didn't. Bartholomew probably wouldn't like being utterly ignored, but he'd just need to keep a stiff upper lip and deal with it. If he were to stick around, he'd have to go through far worse than simply not having an immediate answer for problems whose answers he could probably think through himself given a bit of time and effort. But that was the thing. People didn't like to be kept waiting, or having to come up with solutions themselves. They'd rather just leave their problems at the foot of others. [color=cca78e]"Speaking of problems,"[/color] Gio said, vocalizing what had before been simple internal dialogue, [color=cca78e]"it appears as though you've been quite busy, Signorina Gonzalaz."[/color] He stepped over and around the debris to kneel right next to her. Ouch, that wound had to hurt. Or not. Shock and/or adrenaline had probably set in so she probably wouldn't be feeling it as much as she would tomorrow morning. Well, the functional equivalent of tomorrow morning. Giosue returned to standing and offered both hands to her so she could stand up without having to put any weight down on her injured leg. [color=cca78e]"Come, let's not waste time. We'll be able to better patch you up at Camp."[/color] Under normal circumstances, he would have given her a lengthy lecture about how she should know better about running off alone on a whim. But her injury, the fire off in the distance and the mouthy Bart all made him not all too keen on sticking around here any longer than was strictly necessary. Assuming Evelina didn't give her an immediate earful when they returned to Camp au Ville, Gio would once Alicia had been properly treated. But that would be later.
