Fionn was getting more and more nervous by the minute. Everyone was all over the place and he didn’t see head or tail of Naoto. A shudder went through him as he thought the worst—maybe that magician was the assassin all along, and whisked Naoto away to who knows where to kill him. Some Guardians they were… weren’t they supposed to defend the boss from this sort of stuff? And yet, how were they going to do that if Naoto just vanished into thin air? They had no idea where he went… and he could be dead by now. This was a minor threat and they couldn’t even gather themselves up and work like a team?

The pink haired “boss” and the illusionist reappeared after another while. The magician seemed to be bright and cheery as he spoke to Naoto, and Naoto didn’t seem to be hurt. Fionn ran up to the both of them, his amber colored eyes flicking between the two. He was trembling visibly due to the fact that he had been severely concerned for Naoto’s health. [i]Thank God that he’s okay.[/i] Fionn thought, shoving his shivering fists into his pockets. [b]”Prospero, then?”[/b] he asked softly, glancing over at the masked boy. [b]”You… you gave us quite the scare… you know? We didn’t… even know where you were.”[/b]

A blush shot across his face, and he looked away to hide his embarrassment. While Fionn tried to be strong for the rest of the Guardians when Naoto was gone, Prospero still frightened him a whole lot. Especially since he couldn’t get a clear read on him. What did he even mean when he told him that he didn’t want a boss who would get in his way? Did that mean that, if Naoto got in his way in the future, that he would be killed? He tried to keep his words from shaking as he opened his mouth to speak again.

[b]”S-so, you’re the Mist Guardian of the Vongola? How do you know? Aren’t you supposed to be chosen by Sonya or something?[/b] he questioned. Even though he wasn’t stuttering as much anymore, he kept his voice quiet. He was never into speaking loudly, anyway. [b]”And if you know about the mafia, aren’t you afraid that they’re going to hunt you down or something?”[/b] [i]I don’t know much about how the mafia world… but I’m pretty sure they work like that.[/i]
