It seemed like everyone was ganging up on him, like he expected. Cyril sighed, but didn't say anything else. They were right, anyway. Sonya had devised this plan just so they could fail in their mission and be punished. And the punishment was [I]not[/I] fun to go through. He had begun to have a splitting headache, and he felt like his head was going to fall off. His legs began to tremble a little more than before, making him panic slightly. If he fell... he wouldn't forgive himself. The Italian boy was tired and hungry, and he wanted to go home. He was going to ask Aunt Velia to make him an espresso... and a few more, because some of the others were bound to come over. 

It was then that Naoto asks Sonya what was the Tenth like. Cyril listened intently to Sonya's short description. What he wouldn't give to have someone like that lead them instead of Naoto. 

Fionn offered Naoto a shaky grin, his eyes bright. [B]"He sounds a bit like Naoto."[/b] he said, his voice a bit firmer now that Naoto seemed to be supporting him. He seemed like he was going to be a good friend, along with Daisuke... and Jak, too! [B]"You'll be like this Tenth person... I pro-"[/b] Before he finished his sentence, something bumped into him, almost making him fall to the ground. Fionn raised his amber eyes in alarm to see that it was no other than Daisuke. The boy was swinging to and fro, bumping into him and Naoto. [B]"M-maybe you should calm down a bit. You're going to knock me down."[/b] he told him, glancing down at the floor. That was quite a drop. He was pretty sure that he'll hurt himself rather badly if he fell. [B]"Naoto will try and keep you up. Right, Naoto?"[/b] Fionn glanced over at the boss, offering him another smile even if it was smaller than before.

Time seemed to be ticking by at an excruciatingly close pace. Cyril had fallen silent, at least, and there was no sign of any upcoming arguments. At least, until that man came from nowhere and pointed a thin blade at Sonya's throat. Fionn blinked a bit and tipped his head. Who was that? He looked familiar... but Fionn wasn't going to ask who he was. Sonya and him seemed to know each other, but they didn't look like they were on good terms. All Fionn knew was that his head felt like it was going to fall off. [I]When is this going to be over and done with?[/I]
