I... thanks. This probably isn't a great time to mention I've never had a real job before, is it? But I'm not about to lie, either. Whatever you need me to do, I'll learn, even if it's just tedious busy work.
Don't worry about it. You look on the young side, so I assumed this was a first go for you anyway.
I don't have any cases right now, but next one I go on, you come with me so you get an idea of what I want to do. After we establish ourselves, we can maybe get with the Moon Knights to get to where you want to go.
Just remember something, Lio. Not everyone deserves forgiveness, or a chance at rehabilitation. There are some evil fuckers out there, and they'd take someone's generosity for granted.
... I'm at least 21. [His expression was a little annoyed, but mostly just tired. He was used to being called a kid, and sure, he was pretty young for a so-called terrorist, but the condescending attitude he got from people just cause he looked on the young side was frustrating sometimes.] Lost track of my age, when some years in my teens blurred together, but I'm not lacking in experience because I'm young. I was just on the run for a long time.
So believe me when I say I'm not naive. I won't kill without reason, but there's at least one man from my world that, were he to ever show his face here, would be the exception to my rule. For all that he's done, he does not deserve forgiveness.
[A bit stiff, but still wanting to show respect to his new boss, Lio held out his hand to shake Abbacchio's.]
Are you fucking serious. [Because Abbacchio is only a year older than Lio. Why does he have such a babyface why is so short oh my god help] I'd normally ask about that, but this isn't the time or place. [Mostly because he's too drunk and sad.]
Nah. I get that. There's a short list of people I have that I'd say the same for. So long as we're on the same page, then I get it.
[Despite everything, Abbacchio does take Lio's hand, giving it a firm shake.]
Hopefully you won't be a pain in the ass. [That, at least, is said more wryly now.]
[Malnutrition in his developing years? Genetics? Probably something like that. He let out a subtle sigh.] I get that a lot. And don't worry, I'll tell you about it in due time. I don't have anything to hide.
[And, yeah, despite everything, Lio does smile at that wry comment.]
I won't make any promises, but I'll at least make a considerable effort. Don't forget to introduce me to your partner - Valentine, was it? I hope she doesn't think I'm a pain in the ass, too.

...And I guess that should be good enough for me, too.

I look forward to working with you, genuinely.

I'll give her a heads up about you.
