Fourth Study •§• Leonardo •§• Chibitalia [In person]

Madre?......Padre? Ciao? Dove sei? *(Mother?...Father?....where are you?)

[In the entry hall is stood a 5 year old Leonardo, looking scared and teary eyed as he pulls at the hem of his tunic anxiously]

...Dove sono? *(Where am I?)

[Aaaaand tears...]

[Seeing the child while still trying to find a way out, he stops his exploring and decides to approach, kneeling in front of the frightened boy.]

What's wrong?

[He's not sure if Leonardo would be able to understand him and it would be a while for the exposure to the language before he'll figure out the code of the spoken word.]

[At first, Leonardo seems a little alarmed by the large headed blue man in front of him, speaking another language. But, Megaminds large blue head is also what causes the little boys crying to stop. Wide, glassy blue eyes stare in wonder, before snapping-to and explaining his plight]

Io non sono a casa! Devo essere a casa! Madre e padre si preoccupi!
*I'm not home! I have to be home! Mother and father will worry!

[Megamind is beginning to understand what the boy was saying and nods but it was communicating back that is the trouble. He picked up that he is speaking Italian and to top off the weird, he understands most of it. He takes a moment to decode the language to form a somewhat solid response with the words that he is already exposed to.]

Sono spiacente ma i vostri genitori non sono qui. Fanno voi hanno bisogno dell'aiuto? {I am sorry but your parents are not here. Do you need help?}

[His eyes widen and the tears come harder]

Non qui ..? Ma, devono essere! Essi devono essere, non posso stare lontano per troppo tempo!
*Not here..? But, they have to be! They must be, I can't be away for too long!

Che ne dici di provare a cercare per loro? {How about we try to look for them?}

[Megamind holds out his hand but the hope isn't to just calm the young child down, it's also to give him a chance to figure it out on his own that this place isn't his home.]

[Liking this idea (and the big blue man) more and more, Leonardo gives Megamind a chubby hand and smiles a little]

[Taking the small chubby hand, he takes his time with his steps to make sure that he's not moving too fast through the Manor. It helped him to have a good and steady feel of the Manor himself and making it fun for the boy would help lift his spirits some.]

[Shaun's headed to make tea when he spots a small child speaking Italian - which can only mean one person.]

Leonardo?

[Skinny, white, foreign man knows his name? ~~Chibitalia~~ Leonardo turns round, his voice filled with wibble]

Si?

[He crouches down before Leo and offers him a tissue. Now came time for the awkward getting lost in translation part. His Italian wasn't the best so he decided to stick to the simple stuff.]

Sono Shaun. Io ti conosco quando sei grande.

*I'm Shaun. I know you when you're big.*

Davvero?
*You do..?

[He takes a few little steps towards lanky British man, taking the tissue and using it as expected. Pushing it into his pocket, he takes off Shauns glasses, examining them curiously, his tears subsiding, before pushing them onto his own face. Needless to say, his baby sapphire eyes are magnified by 50]

Come?
*How

[Shaun's brows draw quite dramatically as he winces with the lack of his glasses. He rubs his eyes and tries to focus on the boy. Trying to forgive his childish fascination with them he was sure he'd gotten over beforehand.]

Di solito sei più vecchio. Questa è la Manor, sei stato qui un po '.
*You're normally older. This is the Manor, you've been here a while.*

[Yeeah, you're not getting these back..unless you want to let him doss about on your iPad?? 8D He'll fix that screen glitch for you!]

Normalmente .. grande ..... quindi, sono stato qui prima? In futuro ... molto curioso ... molto curioso ... ora, questa cosa, ti aiuta a vedere? E leggere? Se sei cieco, signore? Oppure i tuoi occhi non funziona bene come dovrebbero?
*Normally..big.....so, I've been here before? In the future...curious...very very curious...now, this thing, it helps you to see? And read? Are you blind, signore? Or do your eyes not work as well as they should?

[This is all spoken very fluently and fast, since he now believes you can fully understand him. Taking a few steps forward, he leans on Shaun as he picks up his hand, looking over his wrist watch]

[Shaun tries to get the glasses back because oh lord his eyes hurt right now.
He managed to pick up enough of that to get a vague idea. Leonardo tended to yammer in broken Italian and English whenever he was on a roll. At least that pocket Italian dictionary had been coming in handy of late.]

You can have the watch if you give me the glasses damn it child..
Ho bisogno di loro di vedere chiaramente, posso avere indietro adesso? *I need them to see clearly, can I have them back now?*

Posso avere! Davvero signore? ahh, grazie mille!
*I can have it! Really signore? ahh, thank you so much!

[Giving Shaun his glasses back obediantly, Leonardo grins at him happily - he rarely got given such wonderful, interesting gifts!

Hoping that watch isn't too expensive, 1066 :I]

[Shaun puts the glasses back on hurriedly and hands Leo the watch.]

Sei il benvenuto. Assicurarsi che torna a me in un unico pezzo, si?
*You're welcome. Make sure it gets back to me in one piece, yes?

[He pats Leo's head and then sits himself down on the marble floor. He didn't know how long this transition would last, hopefully not too long. He wasn't sure he could keep up this much Italian fluently.]
