This section really does make a fascinating counterpoint to Firebrand, now that I'm looking at it again. *purrs*

*wicked grin* Doesn't it? I really do think they have some significant things in common.

Can I just say that you've got me hooked to this and I love this universe so effing much? Xanxus doesn't get enough love.

I'm really excited for the last part.

*hearts* That's the kind of thing I love to hear! And, really, Xanxus gets such a raw deal in canon, who can help wanting to fix the poor schmuck a little?

“It’s my job to know what you need and see it’s done.”
Aww, I love your Squalo*
He's able to say such lovely things as if they were just natural.
(I forgot to say that I'm Italian and I appreciate your choice of name, they seems to really fit!)

*hearts* I'm very fond of Squalo; who could resist that kind of loyalty? He deserves a better break as much as Xanxus does.

*pleased* Oh, good, I'm so glad those work! Lys and I tried to chose names that were suitable for all our add-on characters.

I'm sort of amused by how little patience Xanxus and Squalo have for Mukuro's games. (Much more, ahem, straightforward than Our Heroes!) Also amused at the thought that Xanxus thinks Mukuro is an ok trade for Reborn. :)

*laughing* Yeah, I loved writing this, and how Xanxus and his people would just steamroller right over Mukuro's distractions. *sparkles evilly*
