The first thing she asked was Antonio. Well, now he needed to answer that "Si. He knew. He was the source. Remember, I knew you were a Pro Hero. I learned it from him and he learned it from a friend that works in the goverment. But Antonio only told me, because we are dating and becaue he is my bodyguard." Giovanni explained It was a half truth. Giovanni needed to calm down Nimue. She was a wreck and for good reason. But, he needed to think how to protect her. He thought and got some form of an idea.
Giovanni reassured her that they will think of something. But Nimue asked how. She was overload of stressed. She just asked how because she had no ideas. But luckily for her, he had. "I'll disguise you" he said quietly and got up from the chair. He took his laptop and grabbed her hand and gently tugged it so he can take her to his office. If she was worried about how to exit this place, then disguise was the way to go.
While he didnt have any female clothes for disguise, he did have some hair spray that could dye her hair to a dark brown or black or blonde. Her minty green hair was unique. And maybe some makeup for her face or skin. They can do something. He could also maybe, but just maybe try and risk that Fraternity symbol so villains would back the fuck up. Maybe he can give her another identity if he dresses her up. Make her a 'villain' persona. Just so Nimue Nakahara stays low and gone. So only Witch Doctor exists as she can fight well. And a fraternity villain when she is civillian mode. He could suggest to Nimue while she is Witch Doctor to work in pairs and never solo. At least not until this thing blows. But now his goal was to take her to his office so he can speak to her alone and in confidentiality and secrecy

She couldn't remember for the full 100% how they discussed her pro-hero status and how he figured out or when, considering he had not shared it for a while and they were having this fighting issue yea... ehm, something about that. Something about a governmental person asking him or thus Antonio if he had known, that was something to consider... or not at all. Making drama where there was none was not how it would work, it seemed Antonio knew how to shush too and was worried about her wellbeing or Giovanni's or both because well he was like a brother to her boyfriend right? So that was very kind and she shouldn't go yelling or screaming or crying about it. So she tried to swallow the bile in her mouth. Besides... if he was the bodyguard, he would keep Giovanni safe. She would try to breathe again, in through her nose, out through her mouth. She would turn a little less hesitant and a little less frozen. That however did not mean that the issue was solved.
She shook her head with his suggestion, "It's an idea but that's practically what I have been doing already. Maybe I could use some tips and tricks but I hide my markings as a civilian." She pointed at her face where the red markings that distinguished her face were invisible under the make-up. "I hide my hair as hero, I don't know what more to do?" it was formed as a question so she could sort of ask what he suggested and she would take his hand and let him take her away from the cake and the table and go to his office.
Her pouty face remained and she would see what he had in mind and let herself sit on a chair in his office and just would see. She did not want to say anything so she just waited and she would see. What to do, she felt a little hopeless but also wasn't sure at all what to say. "Don't you think it be fine? She had people that are still around, Red Horn and one of my students. What is the worst that could happen if she asks for a talk?" That's probably what Mikhail meant with her being naive and she should maybe remain seated on her ass and do nothing, for the sake of safety. She was not sure at all.

He was incredibly worried about her. Her expression was dreadful and caused Giovanni great concern. Giovanni suggested her the idea of disguise. Nimue shook her head, saying while the idea is good, its what she did already and has been doing. She then noted she hides her marks as a civillian. Giovanni nodded and then pondered a bit and wondered what they can do. Nimue added that she hides her hair as a hero as well. So what more can she do.
Giovanni took her to his office soon. She had a pouty face and he liked it. It was morbidly cute. Once she sat in his chair. Nimue asked if he think it will be fine. What if Ishtar just talks? Giovanni ignored that for now "Ok. Hold that thought, but hear me out" he said and then approached her and whispered "Come live with me." once he whispered that, he backed away to get out of her personal space "I live in a mansion. I have security since Im rich. Gates. Guard dogs. My personal body guards. You'll be safe. Like Fort Knox." he said, trying to sound confident to her and reassuring.
But after she gives her answer and resolves that topic, he spoke "So, you mentioned Redhorn. I say, why dont we get to privately interview her to hear from the word of mouth? I saw on the list that she was claimed or rewarded. So she went to Ishtar and is alive still. Why dont we ask her what happened?" he asked. Giovanni wondered, if it was just talk, can he organize something. Something planned with Nimue so they can get her off of the list. Maybe a verbal conforntation with Ishtar. He doubted that would come to pass. Maybe he should ask Ishtar what does she want.... Actually... fuck... yeah.. He should do that. Suddenly he facepalmed as it dawned on him. God, he was thinking like Giovanni the kind restaurant owner boyfriend, instead of Giovanni the mafioso. He needed to think like a villain more... MORE. Nimue was turning him good.

There was no way that she would get over the panic, there was so much to think about and there was too much to worry about. His safety, her safety, everything. She would need someone to listen to her and someone to tell her what to do but this wasn't going anywhere towards her brain, though she did hear what he said, it did not seem to be going well though. She shook her head because she had done everything for that already right. She told him that and looked finally up in his eyes, "Is that not enough?" She would brush a piece of her long green hair away from her eyes, there was no happiness now. Everything felt like they pulled the world from underneath her, not just the rug but everything. She wasn't sure what to do. She would just let him take her and she would pout and look away again. She would sit in his chair and asked what he thought if the talk would be just fine.
She held the thought as he said and she would freeze a little and bit her lip. It wasn't that she wanted to say no but she also wanted to say no. She held his cheek in her one hand, "I would not mind but I don't want us to live together for this reason. I-I don't know, I wanted it because it was our next step in our relationship not because of this, maybe I can stay a little longer than normal I be okay with that." Like some sort of extended weekend from them.
She nodded and thought she could do that, "Yea, that sounds like a good thing." She would just be able to ask Mia at work right and she held up her hands, she wanted him to hold her. She wanted to feel safe and she would just want to snuggle but she watched him first, "What's wrong?"

He understands Nimues woes. She wanted to move in as a next step in a relationship. Not because some idiot wants her head. Giovanni embraced her "Darling. Dont you see? This is our next step in the relationship. I love you and care about you. I dont want anything to happen to you. If I was a lesser man, I'd probably backstab you and collect a bounty because worthless scum. Or another lesser man might chicken out from dating a hero. But not me. I persist and I am willing to support you in any way, shape or form." he then tries to joke and tease "Besides, it could be an excuse to spend more time with you"
He tried to explain that she can see this as the next level in their relationship. Oz wouldnt have stuck through this heat for her. He'd either turn in Nimue or try to date Ishtar. Or who knows what someone would do. Giovanni is here to show her, he will stick with her for better or worse. Through thick and thin. He would support her. Taking a risk and dealing with a NUMBER 1 Villain, how can this not be a next step?
Giovanni then suggested that they talk to Redhorn to learn what exactly happened between her and Ishtar, but as he stood and thought how Ishtar wanted, he remembered from Ishtar herself... HE CAN ASK HER. And he facepalmed. Nimue saw his facepalm and naturally asked, whats wrong "Ehm... uhh that kitten... Kuro, right? If you live with me, what happens to kitty? I was stupid and forgot about him" he asked as he needed to deflect his villainy to something harmless, he remembered the hell cat that can talk. Man, on one hand it was cool on another it was annoying. Still he wishes he owned a talking cat

She closed her eyes as he held her, just listening to his voice was soothing, how he called her and she was smiling a little as he did not call her cara, which was her favourite word for him to call her. She nodded a little, okay yea she saw it in another light than he did. Pretty impressive he saw the positive side of this and so on, but she did not want to get rid of her house just yet, what if... what if so many things, he didn't like living with her, or something else happened, she just got her apartment last April, it felt so weird to leave already when she finally had a place for just herself, albeit Giovanni's house was far more spacious than her own, it was fine, there were moments where she could be alone if she needed that. But she loved waking up next to him or just eating dinner together. She shivered when he talked about backstabbing and all and she opened her eyes a little as he continued and smiled, moving her face against his chest. "I would not mind that." Maybe not officially but just for a period, like a try-out period where they would see if living together worked out. She was just a little excited about how he explained it. They were almost dating a year, that was a good thing, right?
She would agree with the suggestion to talk to RedHorn and see what she could learn from her friend and her encounter with Ishtar. It would be definitely something to learn from and maybe it would take some of her paranoia about this away. She would not mind if Giovanni was there as well, he could maybe learn from it, and maybe he would see other solutions then she did, after all, he just saw that about the house and them living together. She noticed he facepalmed and she was a little worried and looked at him and asked what was wrong. "Oh no, Kuro." Oh how dare she forgot him, he must already had that high issue when she was kidnapped, "I am so glad you thought about him, as you did before." She kissed her boyfriend as a thank you. "I will ask him, but as long as we have little sardines at home, I am sure he doesn't mind staying." She mused about the idea, would he mind moving, she had already figured out he did not like Giovanni but maybe it wasn't that bad? As long as the dogs would not be too scary or something.

He was glad she liked the idea, he was confident she would be safe with him. After all only a villain can protect someone from another villain. No one would harm her. But still, he facepalmed when he realized he could contact Ishtar and tell her what the fuck. Though Nimue saw his facepalm and worried what was wrong. Giovanni couldnt tell her that he knew Ishtar, so he mentioned Kuro.
Nimue was so happy he mentioned Kuro. So he smiled. But then she kissed him as a thank you. Which caused him to blush and be red as a tomato. He covered his face "D- d- d- da- dear! I.. I ... I ... shucks... I didnt do anything" he said bashfully. He did look at her when she mentioned sardines and nodded. He then tried to switch the subject as he touched her hand "You know... I might buy a pet cat. You and Kuro inspired me. But mine would be white" he said
Hopefully a nice subject could calm down Nimue and give her happy thoughts. They would live together now, that was joyous news. And together they can beat the list. Giovanni was sure that bounty hunters were more dangerous than Ishtar. People were willing to do stupid dangerous things for money or wishes. He needed to quell that. But not now. Now was time for Nimue. As he held her hand, he daydreamed about taking her home. She can move in with him. He was getting excited just thinking about that. Waking up next to her and kissing her. What more could he want. Just being in her arms would make all problems melt away. Already now, he couldnt wait to take her home and be in her arms and her kiss. Ok, maybe the list wasnt that bad. It was bad. Just not that bad

Everything seemed to be going too fast, she wasn't sure if she actually wanted to live together yet and yes indeed what about her cat. Kuro was its own intelligent and curious little being so she should ask him about it and so on but for now it might work out. She really hoped they would get along just fine and she kissed him and thanked him. She smiled a little more, like smug, when he hid his face and felt bashful, it was cute to see it like that. She just tried to be casual and funny about it and she would just look back up after being distracted as he touched her hand. "Cats are amazing aren't they." She quickly said, oh maybe that would be good for Kuro, a little playmate, ehm, or something like that. She had no idea as Kuro always seemed to hang out more with them as human beings than other pets but she had no idea where he would hang around all day.
But for now, it was fine, they could talk and it would be very cute if Giovanni got a little kitten himself, ah and a white one, how nice. She would ask him if they could go back and eat that sort of pie that was made for them. That would be better right? They were trying to think of solutions, she would move in temporarily with him and she would try to be more careful and less panicky and get a conversation with Mia. Everything would go the way it should go and she would be fine in the end. She would be safe, for sure. She had no idea where his thoughts had gone off as they ate a little bit in silence, he seemed to be daydreaming and when she eventually asked what he thought of it was just a real basic answer that she decided to accept. When finishing up in his restaurant, Nimue asked if they could please go to her home to pick up her stuff and Kuro or at least inform her little cat she wouldn't be home for the evening and that she would see him at school soon.
All with all, she would stay the night with Giovanni and the next one and the next one for the rest of the week and the following, it was strange, it wasn't that it was an issue and yet it didn't feel right. She tried to remember what he said about it, the next step but it more felt like something she had no choice about if she wanted to be able to have someone that would miss her if she did not get home on time.

Nimue asked him if cats were amazing. He answered "Si", though he didnt think cats were amazing. It was a stretch. Cats were ok. Nimue then asked Giovanni if they can go eat the cake. Giovanni nodded "Si. We can h- sample a slice" he corrected himself from a mistake. But all in all, they had a plan. To temporary move in and live together. And also to talk to Redhorn. Giovanni had also his plan on which he would act on. An independent one that would be talking to Ishtar.
The two continued to eat a bit. In silence, which honestly made the cake less appetizing. He tried to think about nice stuff, like daydreaming. That made him relax nicely. She though, asked him a question and he answered, albeit basically.
After that, Nimue asked if they can go to her home to pick up her stuff and to inform Kuro of said choice. Giovanni nodded, they can do that. And thus the two finished their meal. Giovanni spoke to her "Well, Im sorry this happened. I hope you enjoyed the taste testing at least a little bit" he said, hoping to ease her mind more. But also hoping to hear if she liked this cake, so he would know should he give Elena a raise or not. Due to him being a bit all over the place mentally, he didnt get to really enjoy this cake. From worrying, to daydreaming, to planning their future and scheduling. His mind was anywhere but the cake. He looked at Nimue and wondered what answer should she give him. Once she said her answer, he would memorize it and would make sure to reward Elena for her efforts. He may have been a villain, but it does kind of feel bad to let her efforts go to waste
