Nimue looked up with a little smirk on her face and a raised eyebrow. She kind of liked it how he wanted her to be careful, he didn't block her from doing things and walk but he was just careful and she appreciated that, which was why she kissed his chin. "I promise." And thus he could hold her and walk with her to the sunroom. Though she liked the kitchen in this house, she was actually sure that this was her favourite spot in the whole house and she climbed on one of the chairs when she got her stuff and would fold her legs and would look at Giovanni. Trying to not tease him too much when he got bashful about the idea of drawing each other. She would just try though, she now had more time and better equipment than at Christmas because she had no gift. She would just look at him from time to time as she worked on the drawing.
She was a little afraid for her bias, that she thought she would know him well enough when looking at his face that she wouldn't need to look up all the time, that's why she sort of pushed herself to do it. She moved her hair behind her right ear and smiled while drawing, this was actually fun and she was glad that she was home. Even his house was now considered her home. She smiled the most when their eyes met and she liked how he blushed and sometimes watched him do so before focusing back on her own. She would focus on mostly getting his eyes right, because she found that eyes were like the reflection of people and it was the most important part, so she started there when she got the general shape and lines done.

He drew her dilligently. The shape of the head, the hair. Slowly he would draw her hair and how it stood now. Then her fingers, hands, pencil and notebook. And lastly would be her expression. That's right Giovanni drew a sketch of Nim that was drawing him. Its like he snapped a photo of her drawing. A drawing of her looking at her notebook or sketchbook, determined to draw him.
He liked her expression, it was cute. Thats why he drew it. She was cute while she was drawing him. Giovanni though was curious how she would draw him
Well, for now he focused on her expression and on the shading and her hair. Her hair needed to be perfect too, detailed, photo realistic. He would look occassionally and then quickly hide behind his sketchbook to draw her and to hide his blush. Time passed as they were having fun drawing eachother. And eventually they finished their drawing.
He looked up at Nimue, still shy, he his hid drawing. "So... how do we go about doing this? On three and we reveal our drawings at once?" he asked and suggested. Still shy about his work. Giovanni was curious how she drew him. What pose and such. He felt really vurneable when it came showing his art to others. He mostly made portraits of himself or nature and whatever items he finds. Not really people or a female like Nimue. He was rusty there. And he really hoped she would like his art. He waited for her confirmation now first, because he didnt want to be the first to show his art unless said so. But either way, even if Nimue wanted to see it. He would prefer she shows her drawing first. Because the old 'ladies first' excuse. He was very very nervous

Nimue was one for the finer details now that she worked on drawing more faces and particularly Giovanni's face and even though she had not to worry about the long hair that he had to draw, she wanted to make sure she got everything right and that was just why it took her a serious expression and yet a smile on her face because she really liked him and he made her smile so looking at his face brought that to her. She was not even aware that she was doing it. His position was a little different from how he sat now, although his serious expression was there, she could not help but add a little more shade to his cheeks as he was blushing but he wasn't drawing, he was just looking as if he was staring in the distance. She sketched some fine lines of the background behind him but the focus and the details of the pencil strikes were in his position and everything. Nimue was sure everything could become better if she was just having the right types of pencils to colour with, that might be a thing to go shopping for one of these days when she was allowed to leave the house. She was sure he would try to keep her here and that was okay, but maybe she could ask him in a bit. Now it was just a black and white, with smudges of grey as she used her thumb and index finger to smooth out the pieces of the pencil and give more depth and shade to her sketch.
When done she looked up and noticed he was shyly looking at her, which made her smile. She nodded, sure they could do that. So together they counted to three and she would turn her sketch-book around to show her drawing and hoped he liked it. She bit her lip, looked quite bashful and just stared at his expression. The reason why she was nervous was that he had so many paintings from himself and her Christmas one had not been that great so she really hoped he liked this one. That's when she realized he had not turned his one around, "You afraid I don't like it?" She asked with an immediately worried expression on her face, "I would love everything you do or make?" She told him softly and got up to sit next to him on the couch, putting her drawing on the table between them.

"Uno... Due... Tre" he counted as she said the usual one two three. But being the naughty rule breaker villain he was, plus a coward, he didnt show the drawing. Instead he watched hers. He smiled a bit. But then stopped smiling when he realized it was his turn. Nimue asked if he is afraid she wont like it. He blushed "S-si" she then said she would love everything he does or makes, the way she said that softly touched him. And he showed her his drawing.
After her reaction and their lovey dovey hang out. Time flew and soon it became dinner time. The two came to an agreement that they can order food. Giovanni took his phone to look at a menu. But the next that happened was something that didnt expect and just caused him to blush and be red as a tomato. But he didnt mind. Instead he hugged Nimue who was in his lap and kissed the back of her head as she would read the menu. Which at this point, Giovanni just listened to her. Well... listened to her, but not really. He focused on her and her voice, but not the exact words she was saying.
He was just focused on Nimue, her appearance, her body, her voice, her smell. Every aspect of her, he just focused on that and relaxed. His sight, his touch, his hearing and his scent. He loved Nimue with whatever sense he had. And he does mean with whatever sense. He could just get lost in time and space when it came Nimue. Like time would stop and it would just be this peace. Just him and her. As she would read, he'd rest his chin on her shoulder to peek at the app for a moment, but then he'd just nuzzle her. Because thats what he was really focused on after all

"Well?" she asked, moving her legs out from underneath her, making her bounce up and down for two times on the chair to get her feet back working, trying to show some hype. He didn't show but she would get to that point later and looked from the real Giovanni to her drawn Giovanni. "What do you think?" She looked back up to her boyfriend again, "Is it looking good? Like you?" Would he hang it up instead of the almost napkin size version of before, this was much better and if she would allow to say so herself, far more professional. She would wait for his reaction before getting up to put herself next to him on the couch to ask for his drawing. She wanted to know why he did not dare to show, but he was then really afraid that she did not like it and it made her pout a little. She would lean with her head against his shoulder asking to see it and moved her eyes from his to the drawing and smiling, she liked her expression and she liked it and kissed him on the cheek. She would just sit there for a while, looking at the view of the sunroom onto his garden and then she closed her eyes for a few minutes, enjoying the sun and everything. They should enjoy the sun as long as it was out, it wasn't that the sun stayed up long, she was used to longer sunny days but it was now that she became used to it, so she said nothing about it.
Eventually, her stomach made a churning sound and they realized it was almost dinner time. She did not want to be separate, they had been for so long, so they could order food instead of losing Giovanni to the kitchen. Though his cooking was really good so it was not per se something bad. "Did you take off your days or are you going to work tomorrow?" She asked as she would stay here for the rest of the week. As she noticed he scrolled on his phone to look for food and menus she climbed on his lap and would just sit there and take his phone from him to scroll for him and see it as well. She would read out loud the menu to at least make sure that he would see, that is until she felt a trail of butterfly kisses on the nape of her neck and her shoulders and she giggled and sat very quiet. She would try to pick it up again when she felt his arms around her and more kisses, "You can't eat me." she giggled when he nuzzled her and they still had not make a decision. God this wasn't so bad, but holding up everything, that felt like something bad to do and she wondered if she should not go tomorrow and visit Hachi, that would probably more fun for her. But now she scrolled through the small dishes of the restaurant that they would order from, trying to make a decision as by now she learned what Giovanni did not like and what he did like.

"I love it. Darling you draw so well" he said. He really wanted to just shower her with love. Eventually it was his turn and he showed his drawing. He blushed when Nimue kissed him on the cheek. She liked it. He was happy. The two love birds spent time together, but soon dinner time came.
Sitting together, Giovanni and Nimue decided to order something. Giovanni turned on an app for that, Nimue asked him a question. He replied "Im the Boss, I take days off when I want to. Why do you ask?" and with that he continued to scroll down. But Nimue soon swiped his phone and sat in his lap so she can sccroll. Giovanni just hugged her and kissed her. He gave her many kisses.
For a brief moment, he heard Nimue say that he cant eat her. Giovanni smirked and said "Watch me~" he then kissed her neck and then nuzzled her. He slowly rubs her stomach and her back. Giovanni would continue to kiss and pamper her, until Nimue decided a meal for the both of them. Upon deciding, Giovanni agreed and made the order by being the one to do the call. He made one of his people bring their order to them. After all, his home was guarded heavily by guard dogs. He had to have someone special to do the task. No normal delivery boy could do what others do for him. Now as he ended the call, he looked at Nimue
"Our food will arrive." he kisses her cheek and then her lips. "What do you want to do until our meal arrives?~" Even though he asked, he had his ideas what he wanted to do as he continued kissing her neck and more. He was determined to do her challenge as they waited. No harm, right?

She was a little worried that he wasn't honest with her, she felt like it was out of character to be so excited and happy about it but the worry quickly disappeared from her mind and her eyes when she ushered him to show his painting to her and when he did she kissed him on the cheek. "I like the expression the most." She said softly as she kissed him and nuzzled closer to look at it again and would just wait and see and nuzzle some more. "I mean I don't want you to not work because I am around, I don't want to be in your way." She mumbled a little. She did not want him to take days off and later don't like it because she was around. "I can be here, work on my internship plans and my biology classes, I can do that, I don't want to hold you up." She mumbled again when she continued to swipe on his phone and just scoot down a little on his lap so she could lean against his chest, feet on the table to make sure she wouldn't fall down too far. She just let him hug and kiss her so that she would eventually calm down a little.
She would laugh at his joke and calm down even a little more and watch him and feel his hands on her back and so on. She would decide what to order and show him eventually and she watched him call the people, she had no idea he called one of his own. She assumed he knew the other people. She would grab his hand as he came back to the couch in the sunroom and looked at him with a serious face, "Can we talk more about what happened." Because even though she was sad about bringing him in danger and so on but the way he had behaved had surprised her and made her worry about his safety as well, heroes were there to protect him. Alright she did not really agree with Ultra her approach but she could not worry about them and so on, it was just what she could do about it to talk to him right now and fix it. She would just wanted to make sure he would be safe in case he ever was in trouble and she couldn't be there on time.

"Baby. I can always make time for you. Nothing will happen if I take a break" and then he jokes "Heh, I imagine my employees would be relieved to see their Boss isnt there to monitor them" all in all, he reassures Nimue that he can indeed stay with her and spend time with her. Nimue then suggested he doesnt need that, she can work on internships and whatnot "Ah cara mia" he takes her hand and kisses it "Im here for you. And even if you study biology or prepare school stuff im here. Im eager to be around you and Im eager to learn what you teach the heroes." he chuckles "I mean, I would be lying if I said I wasnt curious what UA learns"After that they would joke and eventually upon deciding the meal. Giovanni would go ahead, take his phone and order it. Once the phone call was done, she suddenly held his hand and looked at him with a serious look on her face. His smile faded as he didnt like that look. She then spoke and asked if they can talk about what happened. He nodded "We can" he answered calmly. What did she want to say? About his skepticism of Informant? Surely she can understand? Or did she forget he is a mysterious figure to the public. She is a hero, she knows who and what he is after all.

She tried to laugh a bit about his joke, but it was obvious that she was worried and although she loved his pampering and everything, she did not want him to put everything aside for her. She was never the receiver of so much love that it made her embarrassed and maybe even slight scared about what would happen if that changed, would she be able to keep up with herself. She simply nodded though and would just try to convince him by giving examples of what she could do and that she would watch him take her hand and kiss it. Cara was definitely her favourite word okay and well she blushed a little. "I don't teach anything interesting, I teach high school biology." She did not want to disappoint Giovanni either but she had the feeling that she should keep her hero stuff a secret. Although he knew she was Witch Doctor it felt like a governmental secret. However, would the students keep it quiet or what if they were in the news... she needed to think about it and she nodded though and snuggled a little closer and considered what they would order.
When he got up to call and she would just watch him pace back and forth and would see what to do about it. She took his hand and had quite a serious look on her face and she was glad he said that they could. She took a deep breath and bit her lip and looked at her lap as she had let go of her hand. Where to start, how to begin, oh god she did not want to think that she did not love what he did, maybe that's how she had to start. "Before you misunderstand me because I can imagine that is highly possible, I loved, really I did love that you came to rescue me, no matter how dangerous it was. It made me feel like we do belong together and that you can deal with my weird work schedule and dangerous work and I am glad with that." She took another deep breath in and tried to casually let out the breath through her nose. "But, you have to be more careful. Not only with such rescue missions, I rather not you try them much more, but also how to talk to heroes. I don't want them to hate on you and just push you away or arrest you because you followed me or anything, you know what I mean?" He had been so disrespectful to Tobias and when she pointed out it was the informant he still had not listened and she had snapped. She did not like how Ultra had reacted and hurt him, it really made her wince now that she could replay it in her mind without feeling sluggish or stupid, but she could not have stopped him.

Giovanni chuckled "Si si, I know. But you mentioned something about an internship. I am eager to learn. So even minor stuff. Besides, I dont mind showing you some of my biology knowledge~" and yes that was an innuendo. But eventually he took his phone and called his people to make the order, the thing was that not everyone can deliver to him. So he asked his people. But upon finishing the call, the mood changed and shifted. Nimue was a lot more serious.
He approached her and sat beside her. They held hands and Nimue soon spoke. She tried to difuse the situation by saying how she appreciated him and how he came to save her. But, he has to be more careful, not just with the missions. But the way he talked to the heroes. She doesnt want the heroes to hate on him and to arrest him
"Heheheh, yeah. Arresting. That'd be bad. Lets avoid it." he said and tried to ease the tension. But then he explained his point of view "I am sorry. But I was careful. I was being careful. Since you are a Pro Hero, you might forget that people dont know what the Informant looks like. He is an enigma to the common folk. A faceless man or woman... Personally I thought the Informant was a woman" yes he had his theories. He and Antonio imagined a busty blonde babe. Or maybe theorized it was Narcissa. "To someone like me, he could've been a fake. If they found you out. Who could've known who else was compromised. Besides..." he then says hurt "You doubted me that I was real. And yet you fully believed 100% blindly that he was who he said he was"
And then the kick came and her sounding angry at him. It was one bad thing on top of another. He bit his lip remembering the kick. He really doesnt care if those guys live or die. Nobody can do that to him and get away with it. He wants them dead with their heads mounted on a wall. God he hates them. He soon sighed to calm himself down. He needed to bite his tongue

"I cannot tell you my top-secret work." She said poking out her tongue to show that she was teasing, but her eyes weren't laughing along. She felt like a little twist in her stomach, thinking about the fact that she wanted to share but was that even allowed, she did not have to share the details just how it worked right? She shouldn't think too much about it at this point it was not part of the discussion and she would have to see and she could tell him little things right just not the most essential part and no names and... well she was thinking too badly and that's what got her all started in trying to consider how to talk to him about the issue of the rescue and she bit her lip.
She would grab his hand, ask him to come back to her without words and making him sit next to her while he was trying to say something easily, complimenting him first before telling her worries, that would work right. That would be for the best, she nodded mentally to herself, confirming that what she did was with the full intention to do it right and help him. She nodded, "That meant that they would hold you and I cannot snuggle close to you, that would be very bad." She wanted to do that now to make it better but she sat silently and did not move. She would listen and nod when he apologized. "Baby, going to find me wasn't really being careful because who knew how many of the Plutocracy could have been there and-and well I know you were right." That he did not know how Tobias worked but she wasn't sure if Giovanni- it did not matter. "I doubted you were real because I did not dare to believe you came to my rescue, my dear." If he would let her, she put her head on his chest and held him while she talked, "I didn't want to be happy and be disappointed but yea I trusted Tob-the informant because I know him, and he isn't known, and because of that I did highly doubt they would copy him. That sounds like something that I could have said about you too but they already did know how I looked, they did know my real face which is what I am hiding as Pro-hero, so I thought as they got me right after I left my apartment, that they knew exactly who you were too and so on. I am sorry baby, I really am."

Nimue teased him and poked out her tongue as she said she cant tell him her top secret work. "Aw boo" he said with a slight pout. He really did wanna know. Like he REALLY wanted to know. Does she not trust him? He was still offended she trusted the Informant more than him. Now this. Bah! Best not to think about it. Otherwise he'd get riled up.
Then suddenly, Nimue grabbed his hand and asked him to come to her. He nodded and went to her and sat beside her. And well, that talk happened. The Informant and the way Giovanni was at the rescue. Bah! This did not help him at all. Giovanni joked with her a bit saying it'd be bad if he was arrested. But honestly, that was a fact. It would be the end of them if he got arrested, because it'd be discovered he was a villain. Luckily she did not know and she would just joke with him
But still, Giovanni said how he felt and how hurt he wa she trusted The Informant more than him. Nimue said that going to get her wasnt very careful of him, because Plutocracy and bla bla. She then said why she doubted he was real. And it took everything just to keep him from rolling his eyes. How could she not dare to believe??
Then she put her head on his chest. He didnt really do anything, he didnt place his hands around her to embrace her or anything. He just let her speak and continue. She said she didnt want to be happy and then get disappointed. She trusted Tob... The Informant. Well at that moment he remembered the lil blunder she did. Tob. Oh he was gonna find out who the Informant was. And his head would roll. Even 3 letters would help him limit his search. He will find him.
Once Nimue apologized, he moved away, got up and got a box of cigarettes from a drawer. And a lighter. Giovanni went over to a window and opened it and lit up the cigarete to smoke. Its what calmed him down when he was mad "I accept your apology" he said as he blew the smoke through the window, hence not really looking at her. He was looking out as he spoke. He then briefly turned to face her and spoke as he smoked "But in future. Know I'd go the exta mile to save you myself. Im not some loverboy who gives you sweet words and doesnt act on them." he then looked away from her to the side, he had a slight irritated look on his face "I went through the trouble to find you. I even quarreled with someone close to me, just so I can go to you"He remembered his argument with Antonio that got heated. He ruined his relationship with a friend that was literally with him for his entire life over her. And she didnt appreciate that he went the extra mile to her. Yeah, he got pissy. And even still, she lucked on. He would've been raging or killing any other person by now. Nimue's sweet character and her desired position made him... calm. But still... while he didnt show it. He was sad. Sad for trying to burn a bridge with Antonio over Nimue. God, after this he felt like he should kiss Antonio for just being there. |

Everything was obvious about him. His annoyance, it was like written on his forehead. His sarcasm, he did not really understand, did he? He blamed her for it, didn't he? It felt like a repeat of something she did not want to repeat like ever. She did not want these negative thoughts in her mind, this wasn't how she worked nor liked to think. His body language was rigid and she did not want him to talk like that but she tried to get him to listen, tried to bring it softly and make sure that he understood she appreciated it, that everything was fine but at this point, there was nothing more she could do for him. He couldn't hide it from her, she knew him almost for a year now and though they say you need to be together five years before you even get in the close quarters of knowing each other, she felt like she knew enough about his body language. His joke felt fake, he started to distance himself from her, not listening and so on. God, what did it matter? She felt there was no use in trying and she tried to explain why she was afraid that he wasn't real because it was too good to be true, but he did not believe her, it was like visible on his face.
She tried to make sure he knew it was okay but he was cold and again distant. She tried to finish speaking, she tried to protect her colleagues, not from him. She did not know it would be necessary to protect them from him, but she needed to use their title in the right moments and besides using their real names wasn't going to make this matter much clearer to Giovanni, or so she thought, which was why she used the hero names as well. She felt like she could say nothing or he would take it the wrong way and her mouth actually fell over when he moved away and went to literally smoke where she was. Just open the door of the sunroom and just take the cigarette, he knew how much she hated it. And his words... Did he accept her apology? Oh really. She was not easy to anger, she was just baffled at this point trying to look at him and trying to see if he knew what he just did, but he only looked shortly at her before turning back to smoke and give her empty words. He didn't get it, did he? "Well, isn't that nice." Finally she got her words back, so now she also got to be blamed for his quarrel. She got up as well, she couldn't make the fastest moves yet but god did she try now. "I be in the kitchen if you need me, your majesty." Jesus, get off his high horse. She thought he would understand and see her worshipping him enough and appreciating him but she had told him about the murder of her father, did he not understand how scared she had been for his sake. She would walk as fast as she could, take the first door on her left to get into the kitchen and just try to set the table for their food to come. She wanted to go back home now, just be nowhere, just be no one, so no one would have to come to her rescue, no one would have to be in danger for her and no one would have to open their house and life for her. It was fine, just let her be.

That... was not a reaction he anticipated. As he smoked through the window, he wondered why she got mad all of the sudden that she left. He apologized to her and he explained why he was hostile to the heroes. Did she not understand his point of view? Well, she did also apologize so she got it. But still, what got her mad?
He said he would always go the extra mile and go to the earths end if need be to save her? Shouldnt that be touching to her? And make her be all puddy in his hands or whatever. He thought she'd like that he was brave and that he wasnt someone who would just flatter and say empty words and promises.
He even said how he argued with Antonio over her. Revealing he would rather go against everyones wishes just to go to her and be with her. He thought that would show how much he loves her, that he would be ready to burn bridges just to be with her. Thats how devoted he was. So... what went wrong and why was he all alone?
Giovanni thought about it as he smoked the cigarette. She didnt like something here? Hmmm, maybe she didnt get the meaning behind his words. Hmm, maybe he worded the last part wrong. Maybe she thought he was blaming her. He had to correct that and explain himself. But how would he approach a hostile Nimue. As he was smoking and finishing off his cigarette, he thought he can slowly approach and apologize for the smoking and explain that he knows she hates it but its just something to calm him down.
Ok what next?
Maybe he can ask her how she feels and use his gentle voice. Hopefully she would open up and not push him away. They can talk it out like civilized people he was sure.
He soon put out the cigarette and threw it out the window.
"God, I feel so much better" he thought when he finished his cigarette
And he made his way to the kitchen slowly
Arriving there, he would gently open the door and enter. He thought about peeking in first. But he changed his mind
"Hey Nimue...." he started, just to see if she would react or look at him "I am sorry for that before. The smoking. I know you hate it. But its the only thing that calms me down and keeps me from being... you know... bad and angry. Im not smoking to spite you. Its just something that helps me... A.. a last resort, if you will" he said using his gentle voice, and hoping she got what he meant
Next he continued
"So... erm... How are you.... how do you feel?" he asked, slightly nervous

She decided to move one item at a time, although one category at a time was more like the right description. So two plates. Two glasses for water, two glasses for wine if they would drink anything. Cutlery, placemats, napkins, anything, one by one. She needed to cool off, she probably misunderstood him but it felt like he lost someone special to him because of her and that he did not listen to what she was actually asking him. No matter how romantic, no matter how courageous and everything, she did not want him there. Did she have to cry in front of his face again to actually explain that she was so deadly afraid for him when she realized he was really there? She was so afraid they would grab him and never return him to her ever again, there was a lot to consider okay, she found herself slightly overreacting but he did not get it. He did not want to get it. He was like the king who wanted to do everything by himself, not take any other word and it annoyed her because she did not know what to do. Then he even got a freaking cigarette and he knew what she thought about it. Why in front of her face? She took a deep breath and looked up when she heard the door, but quickly turned around to go back into the kitchen to get the wine bottle.
She would come out of the kitchen into the area where the table was and where he called out to her and she looked up at him. She wanted to say to him that he could have not done it in her face, but he tried to do something. She would lean on one leg and put one hand on her hip to look at him. At least he was talking slowly and calm to her so it was something, she really should go home though if this was the start of their four days together. Why did it feel like he kept hiding things from her?
"Hm I don't know." She wanted to say something in xhosa but that would not make it better and she turned to put the wine on the table. "I don't think you got what I meant. But I don't know how to explain it. Thanks for apologizing for smoking but it is probably just a miscommunication." She clicked her tongue and turned back to him, not sure what to say more, she was still not amused.
