The Library

[Today Caterina can be found, as usual, at the Library. But this time, should you run into her, the situation is slightly different. Instead of taking books off the shelf and hoarding them to feed her own insatiable curiosity, she's putting books back on the shelf. SHOCKER. She's actually started her job at the Library recently! And she's taking to it like a fish to water.

Feel free to stop her and ask for help or just say hello. If you watch her as she's returning books to the shelves you may notice that occasionally she takes out a small notepad and jots down something on it before placing a book in its proper place. Wonder what that's all about.]

Around the City

[After work, and to celebrate her new job, Caterina has bought herself a fabulous new outfit and is walking around the city in it, looking quite pleased with herself. She's not doing anything particularly interesting aside from a little mundane shopping, but she will treat herself to a drink at a cafe... in fact you may find her sitting at a sidewalk table, reading a book and sipping at her drink.]

Grazie ... ? Do you know Claudia-san?

[canmakemore]

[Her smile widens.]

Si, I do. Though I think perhaps we should start warning people that not everyone in Italia knows each other.

[holmes_fanatic]

It's not just that you're from Italy -- you've got the same habit of using Italian words, even when you're speaking the common language that everyone uses here.

[canmakemore]

[She laughs.]

È vero, we do seem to share that habit.

[holmes_fanatic]

'E vero' -- does that mean 'that's right'?

[This kid has no grasp of the Italian accent, sorry!]

[canmakemore]

"It's true" would probably be more accurate, but it amounts to the same thing.

[holmes_fanatic]

Not a bad guess, then!

I'm Edogawa Conan -- call me Conan. Um.

[With excessive care and terrible mispronunciation ...] Molto lieto.

[canmakemore]

[Caterina beams and corrects his pronunciation gently.]

And I am Caterina Sforza.

[holmes_fanatic]

[If possible, Conan's pronunciation is even worse the second time. The sad thing? He's actually trying hard.] Molto lieto, Caterina.

Are there more people from your world here besides you and Claudia?

[canmakemore]

[AW BUT IT'S CUTE. She just keeps smiling. He'll get it eventually. Probably.] Claudia's brother, Ezio. If there are other Italians, I haven't met them.

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah, you're lucky to have two others from your world! Most don't even have that many!

[canmakemore]

[She nods.] I know. It is... hard, being away from home, but having friends here helps.

[holmes_fanatic]

I'm glad.

Ah, I'm distracting you from your job! I'd better let you get back to work.

[canmakemore]

Sometimes a little distraction is welcome. But yes, I should be getting back to work.

It was good to meet you, Conan.
