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...]

[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.]
