[There's a caw in response, before the Corvisquire takes off.

Then there's more cawing within a few minutes, distant, but getting closer.

And accompanied by footsteps.

And a voice.]

Seriously, Cavolo, what are you making such a fuss about?

[The Corvisquire flies back over to Abbacchio, lands, then turns back around to caw once more as Bucciarati emerges from the trees.]

[Well.

That's a voice he...honestly didn't expect to ever hear again? Abbacchio knew that he wasn't leaving Sardegna and yet.

He just stares when Bucciarati comes out of the trees, utterly dumbfounded because the fuck? He thought this was some weird version of the afterlife, what's Bucciarati doing here?!]

[Well, there's nothing that has Bucciarati convinced this isn't some weird version of the afterlife.

He slows to a stop upon seeing Abbacchio, clearly a little shocked, and--oh god.

First Narancia. Now Abbacchio.

Abbacchio's here this time, and for real.]

Abbacchio!

[He runs over, the Corvisquire hopping a bit away to join the Sinistea.]

Bucciarati.

[Abbacchio just stands there, still baffled.]

You're here. Why? What happened?

[So. You know, the "what happened" chat has already long since happened with Narancia, but that sure as hell doesn't make it any easier now that he's having it with Abbacchio.

Okay. You can handle this, Bucciarati. Inhale, exhale.]

The boss happened. [That... should explain enough for now, he thinks.] I can tell you the rest up to what I know later, but for now... I'm just glad to see you again, Abbacchio.

[Well.

Fucking shit. He won't ask right now, it's not important. All that matters is that Bucciarati is here. Even if that is probably bad news.]

Yeah, same. [Even if he is still stunned.] So that bird...?

That's Cavolo. He's mine.

[The Corvisquire caws.]

Not the first of my Pokémon, but one of the few I can have out without too much supervision on my part.

[Okay, that gets him to snort because kale? Really?]

It's a fucking crow, Bucciarati, how he the best behaved?

Teodoro isn't badly behaved, but has a few traits that make me concerned to have him out while I'm traveling. Buttons will run off at any opportunity, Miriana is a prankster, Lucetta's prone to daydreaming, and Meringa tries to race anything that moves.

So it's just the rest of squad split over a few different animals.

[Just saying.

But also:]

Buttons?

[With that, Bucciarati lets the Skitty out.]

I didn't name her, the woman I got her from did.

["Mya!"]

[Oh wait that's one of those cats from that tiny village--

Not that Abbacchio can say anything about that, as the second that Skitty is out his Sinistea floats over to inspect her! And then also inspect Bucciarati! By clinking herself against his head. Abbacchio just sighs.]

She does that. I don't know why or how to make her stop.

[Said as he glares at the teacup.]

[Bucciarati chuckles a little as the Sinistea clinks herself against his head.]

Hello there.

[Said as he holds his hand out to her--he wants a closer look!

Buttons, meanwhile, takes this opportunity to very intently circle around Abbacchio, bat at his ankles a little... and then start rubbing her head against his legs.]

[Oh she like this human! The Sinistea (no he has not yet named her) settles down to be inspected! Please admire her stamp!

Abbacchio on the other hand just glances down at Buttons warily. She's probably just like a normal cat but...eh, screw it. She's Bucciarati's, if she was a threat she wouldn't be here. So he will just let her do the cat thing.]

How long have you been here, if you have more of these creatures?

[You were very much not dead when he saw you last, Bucciarati.]

[Give him a moment, he's inspecting and admiring the Sinistea--]

About a month now, give or take. Meringa, Miriana, and Buttons were gifts over that period of time.

A month?!

[What? But that means...did it take longer? Did Giorno not find the rock? Did he fail? Why would it have taken them a month to get everything taken care of?]

That long? By yourself?

[He shakes his head.]

Not by myself, no. Narancia's here, too, he just went on ahead to the city. He's... been here longer than either of us, apparently. Months.

[Which. It's clear from Bucciarati's face he does not like that.]

Months?

[What the hell. So...no, that still doesn't make sense. Abbacchio should have gotten here first, even if the other two--nope not thinking about that right now.]

Something's not right here.

If the times lined up correctly, I should've gotten here minutes after Narancia did and not months. And you should've been here before either of us.

[Which, uh. Sorry for those implications, Abbacchio, Bucciarati does not intend to elaborate at this moment in time.]

[Yeah no, not amused. Not amused at all! Also not asking questions at the moment.]

And we're sure this isn't some fucked up Stand?

All I have to go off of is the other people here, which makes me think this isn't, at least...

[But, like, he can't be sure? And he doesn't like that.]

It's been at the back of my mind this entire time, but...

Yeah.

[God he needs a drink.]

Just Narancia? None of the others?

None of the others, no. I'm hoping it stays that way.

[He nods. Honestly, fair.

He goes to get his things. The Sinistea can stay with Bucciarati--but why is this Skitty still at his ankles?!]

So, Narancia's in the city up ahead?

Yeah.

[... Let him return Buttons to her ball real quick. Cavolo decides that the best place to be at the moment is Abbacchio's shoulder.]

I can buy you lunch when we get there, too.
