"Mav, please, this is serious," Master Giovanni had zero defenses against his little brother.
If he wanted to talk about everything and nothing for the next 2 hours, then he would be able to do nothing about it.
Thus is the fate of a big brother. ¯_(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)_/¯
"Fine, fine. I'll zip my mmMm," Mav had already zipped his lips with a movent of his hand, not able to finish the rest of his sentence.
Master Giovanni sighed, even though his little brother was not too much younger than himself, (in Master Giovanni's mind, there's not much of a difference between the ages between 45 to 65, at that age, it's all the sa, or so he tells himself) Mav still had such a youthful vitality and spirit.
It was quite admirable and enviable
Master Giovanni was envious, but not jealous. There's a difference.
It wasn't as if he would hate soone just because he was envious of what they had.
"It's like this..."
[Let us all skip the tedious, repetitive, and zealous explanation part. ;)]
[30 minutes later, after the whole story was recounted from beginning to the end (probably missing so parts since the old man filtered through the information)]
"MMmmMMMMmmMMM?" Maverick spoke with his lips still sealed.
Master Giovanni's eye twitched.
He finally realized why he hadn't been interrupted once in the whole duration of his conversation (more like a monologue) despite there being quite a few pieces of information, that in his opinion were rather shocking and needed further explanation.
It was because his little brother had picked up so new ways to entertain himself.
"Yes... you can talk again."
He had already guessed what his brother was trying to say with those hums of his.
Maverick on the other side could be heard releasing a great big breath of air in a silly manner before asking his question.
But his question was not one that his Big Brother could anticipate.
"So, isn't everything solved?" Maverick sounded truly confused and a little indignant.
It was as if he were saying, if things are already solved, then why are you spending (wasting) so much of our precious call ti talking about it?
Master Giovanni was both dumbfounded and speechless.
If he didn't tell his little brother... then who else would he tell?
"Well, it's solved, but not really, right?"
Master Giovanni sounded like he was questioning himself more than he was questioning Maverick.
"Dear eldest brother of mine, from your tone, it sounds like you really want to do sothing about this matter," Maverick teased.
Mav didn't have to wonder what that kid had told his older brother to make him like this nor what tactics he had used.
After hearing what his brother had to say about his disciples and their assigned mission with 0 progress after 7 months, he was rather clear about the general occurrences.
Especially since he too had used all those tactics before.
But he was neither bothered nor upset after having seen through Elijah.
"Hm, that does seem to be the case, but should we at least know who it is that is looking into my niece?" Master Giovanni rationalized his own words.
"But didn't you just tell that your disciple-to-be has close connections to this person?"
Maverick was trying to hint at Master Giovanni so that he could get there himself.
This person's intentions were clearly not leaning towards the negative side, in fact, they might even have a rather good impression of his daughter considering everything that happened.
After all, they don't seem to have to rely on his big brother.
As for worrying about people going through his daughter to get to him, he had no such worries.
He was just a rather normal person with a fancy hobby, what did he have to worry about?
Even if things happened, Maverick was normally the type to let it happen and just deal with it after it did.
He wasn't worried about insufficient preparations.
All in all, taking action with Elijah would be normally an unfavorable choice.
At least that would be true if it were anyone else.
Clearly, things were different if it were that boy.
"Won't it still be good to know though? It's not impossible, right?"
Master Giovanni's stubbornness was showing.
Maverick smiled on the other side, but the aning behind that smile was unknown.
Why was his eldest brother so innocent?
"Big Brother, do you have anything against this M person?"
Maverick questioned once again.
This ti Master Giovanni pondered for a while longer.
Though he was stubborn, he knew that his little brother wouldn't be so insistent on asking if there weren't so big issues here.
"I guess…not?"
Master Giovanni suddenly had an inkling of what his little brother was trying to insinuate, but he didn't seem to be able to catch it enough to put it in words or anings.
"Then do you think there is a need to put yourself in danger to know more about soone that even that Elijah boy has trouble ssing with? If you just nurture that disciple of yours, won't you know about what you want to know sooner or later?" Maverick didn't say too much, but just enough to get his Big Brother thinking.
In the end, Mav didn't point out how the only reason why his Big Brother even cared about this dangerous figure was due to the fact that Elijah purposefully gave his disciples a death mission.
Sigh.
He still had to leave the boy so face, even if he didn't want his Big brother to be tricked by him so easily.
At least, next ti, Big Bro would put up so more fight, right? Even if the outco were the sa…
