Raising the teapot and pouring the new member a cup, the odd yellow hue of the drink right away threw you off, you didn't think they served anything except black tea.
"Well, drink up." Saying that and staring straight at the blond, Abbacchio spoke once more his tone of voice was light as though he was waiting for something to happen. "How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
Standing up from his spot Narancia raised a brow, his demeanor right away gave off a prideful feeling even if it was for a silly reason. "Fifteen? Ha, you're two years younger than me."
Giorno merely just waved off the comment returning his gaze towards the cup before him, "Thank you for the tea." Gripping the handle of the cup and raising it up as if to take a sip he paused, a look of realization flashed over his features and the others merely waited.
You still were unsure of what the others did, but by the colour of the tea and how the boy beside you froze, you could only assume the worst.
Catching sight of the blond pausing before taking a sip the pale haired man raised a brow, his tone of voice was almost taunting and in a way also sounded provoking "What's wrong? You just thanked me for the tea that I so generously poured for you. Since you already thanked me for it, you'll just have to drink it. Or do you not want to drink it since it's very hot?"
Turning your attention to the side you caught sight of Narancia holding in a laugh as well as Fugo, the strawberry blond holding his laughter in much better than the ravenette, while Mista on the other hand appeared smug. "Maybe he doesn't want to drink it because he doesn't want to be one of us." Bruno walked back in just after Mista spoke staring at the group with a hand on his hip.

"What are you all doing?" The tone of voice used was defensive, the man looming just behind Giorno's chair. His eyes scanned the table residence as if to pry whatever they had planned from them.
Giorno, in response to Bruno's arrival shifted in place sparing a glance towards the man, "It's nothing. He went to the trouble of pouring this tea for me." Simply saying that he then raised the cup up to his lips downing the whole thing.
You could only shudder at the thought of what was actually in the cup.
"Gross! He actually drank it!" Still on his feet Narancia's expression held a disgusted look all the while pointing towards the now empty cup, the others also gave their own respective reactions as well.
"D-Dude, you're hilarious! Did you seriously drink it?" Leaning over the table and pointing at the blond Mista let out a laugh, this new guy was surely going to be an interesting addition to the team.
"No, there's no way he could have! Hey, how'd you do it? Where'd you hide it?" Resting his hands onto the table and leaning forward Fugo stared at Giorno in disbelief, he couldn't pick up on any trickery thus there must've been something else he had failed to account for.
"Hey, come on. Just tell me! Okay?" Urging Giorno to spill his secret the blond only gave a knowing look, almost like the whole ordeal was nothing.
"Who knows? You're all keeping your abilities a secret too, aren't you?" Choking on the piece of cake you had just continued eating your brows raised towards what he's said. You weren't prepared for how quickly the conversation had shifted yet also taking that into consideration you could only assume Giorno was also a stand user, leading to his statment.
The others also came to that conclusion as well rapid firing questions at the blond about what his ability was and how it worked.
"Man, you guys are weird." Muttering that to yourself and shaking your head a sigh followed, you could tell that most of them would get along fine. The group itself when first meeting feels hostile and enclosed but right after it's almost as though everyone could've been childhood friends.

"Quit screwing around. We're going out." Announcing that Bruno's blue hues trailed over the lot, his tone of voice held an edge to it and there was more to be said once everyone got moving.
"Huh? Where?" Hearing Narancia ask that the teams leader merely turned back towards the entrance way stepping towards it, "Follow me and you'll find out. Hurry it up."
Getting up rather quickly after the man left, Giorno began following, only stopping briefly as you popped into his peripheral, falling into step beside him. "Hey sorry about Abbacchio, he's not the er nicest of the group." Saying that softly as to avoid the man in question hearing you, you added on, "If it's any consolation he did hit me in the face with a door when I joined the team."
A slight laugh left him upon hearing that, Abbacchio did seem like that kind of person. "No need to apologize, everything seemed to work out." Saying that in response he turned his attention to the man currently leading the group. Both of you walked in silence with the others, listening in to the citizens giving a wave or thanking Bruno for something.
"Hey, what are we going to do about a car?" Asking that from the middle of the group Fugo briefly threw his gaze around counting each person in his head before Bruno answered simply.
"We got a loaner. Since a certain someone destroyed our last one." Knowing who the comment was focused on you could only hold in a snicker peering back towards Mista who grumbled under his breath.
"Wonder who could've done that..." Trailing off absentmindedly you felt someone step on the back of your shoes causing you to stumble almost falling forward had the blond beside you not caught your shoulder. Your eyes drifted back narrowing into a glare at the gunslinger who merely looked off to the side innocently.
Piece of shit.
Watching the interaction from beside you Giorno could only smile softly, he didn't really know you as long as the others but it seemed like you were quite friendly with everyone and had interesting chemistry with the group. But he was also curious about what you did for the group seeing as you were the only girl and it didn't seem like you were quite suited for the mafia life.
That was just his first opinion of you though, he had yet to see any of that for his own eyes.
Loading into the loaner vehicle and driving to whatever the destination was everyone quickly stepped out taking note that they were by a marina, sail boats floated along the water and the group neared a building.
"We're going cruising on a yacht? That's awesome!" Exclaiming that Narancia grinned brightly, he seemed very excited to ride on one.
"When did you buy a yacht?" Inquiring that towards the dark haired man Abbacchio raised a brow in question.
Turned his head towards a desk inside the building Bruno responded,"We're renting one." At that Narancia's excitement quickly diminished, taking in the new information that it was going to be nothing but a simple rental.
"Say, Bucciarati...whatever you do, please don't rent the one with the number 4. It'll sink. I just know it." Rolling your eyes at Mista's comment you leaned against the buildings outer wall just beside the doorway.
"Come on Mista, if it was going to sink then why's it still floating over there?" Calling that out and pointing towards the boat you pursed your lips watching his head snap towards where you stood.
"Shut up! I just know it's bad!"

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
