Pavi gave an over-dramatic pout, knowing just how much it would likely annoy Luigi. They seemed to be reverting back to their normal teasing attitudes, but Pavi knew that he was treading on thin ice. One wrong move could land him another slap in the face...or worse. He'd never thought to prepare for this sort of conversation with his brother, despite having thought about the topic on his own a few times, because of the sheer unlikelihood of it being a mutual feeling.
"Then do you do this-a to Amber, too?" Pavi asked, smirking again. He didn't believe that his brother didn't enjoy the fights with him in particular...they happened too frequently for that to be the case. "Don't-a lie to me, Luigi. Amber may be a slut, but even-a she wouldn't put up with-a the things I do. And I take it better than-a she could, even if-a she wanted to. I may-a be weak," Pavi paused, before raising an eyebrow suggestively. "But I'm-a strong enough to take-a whatever you give."

Nathan was having a rather enjoyable day. He had been given the day off, look around and know the circus a bit better. As that being said, he was out of his work attire, going for a much more formal wear. His brown plaid vest over his white button-up shirt matched his khaki pant well. His brown shoes had a little dirt on them from the wet ground as it had rained two days before. He was sitting on a bench, just trying to take in all of the sights and sounds. He sat back, a headache starting to form. He often had these lately for no apparent reason. He buried his hand into his laft pocket and took out a bottle of pills, swallowing one down. He had the pills in the left pocket because he kept his favorite scalpel in the right, the extra large one.
He reclined into a better position, letting the medicine do its work. It was almost gone when it was brought back by screaming and arguing from behind one of the tents. He sighed and got up. Looks like it was time for him to take out the trash.
He walked into the small alley made by the tents, stiffening in surprise as he saw who was there. It was them, Lotti's brats. "It seems as if even when brought back to the dead, I can't escape my previous life. So, what brings the Largo Brood to the Circus? Answer carefully, I only have a short fuse."
He took out the scalpel and tested the blade's sharpness. The thumb immediately had a small drop of blood. Perfect.

Luigi was about to shoot back a hateful and witty comment to his brother when he heard a very familiar voice. He turned around suprised, seeing Nathan Wallace their ex-Repo Man standing there. Luigi was speechless for a moment, thinking he was seeing things. That night at the opera Rotti had shot Nathan point blank. No way someone could survive that, but survive it he did. Or so it would appear.
"Says the man who's supposed to be dead." Luigi scowled, reaching into his jacket to touch his own knife. "Why aren't you dead?"

Nathan chuckled and pocketed his glasses. "Technically, I am. Or was, still unsure how that happened. Let's just say, when the Ringmaster wants someone for a job, she wants the best, even if she has to go beyond the grave to get him." He leaned against a nearby pole. "So, answer my question. The fuse is lit and starting to burn."

Pavi turned sharply at the entrance of the familiar figure, eyes widening. It took him a minute to register just what he was seeing, but even when he had, he still had difficulty in reacting properly to the sight before them. So, Nathan Wallace was back from the grave? Well, if it had happened anywhere, it would have to be this circus.
And how long had he been standing there? How much had he heard of he and Luigi's rather...private conversation. Hardening his expression, Pavi stepped away from the tent pole, stepping away from his equally shocked brother and closer towards the former Repo Man.
"And-a what business is-a that of-a yours, Wallace?" Pavi replied back challengingly, cocking an eyebrow(or attempting to, beneath his mask). "This is a circus, no? We are here-a for-a the entertainment, nothing-a more." Nothing he need be concerned with, anyway, as far as Pavi was concerned.

Nathan chuckled. "As it is, I'm a bodyguard, assasin, and a bouncer. If you don't know what that means, I make sure unwelcomed guests see the other side of the cage, permanently." He leaned forward threateningly. "So, no fighting on grounds unless you want to be put in the ring with Mr. Hyde."

Now it was Pavi's turn to chuckle. Folding his arms over his chest smugly, the younger Largo took a few more strides towards the other man, tilting his head to the side with a cocky smirk. Obviously, this man didn't know just how deeply involved with this circus he was as well. Pavi had been a bit surprised to hear that Nathan had been made an employee, not to mention the fact that he was alive, but he supposed that there was no better person for the job than GeneCo's former head Repo Man.
"And I suppose-a you'll-a send us to the vampire next, hmm?" Pavi suggested with a laugh, jerking his thumb in the direction of Mina's circus tent. "The ringmaster knows of-a our presence here, Wallace. And Hyde does of-a mine. Both he and-a Miss Murray are....friends, shall-a we say."
At this, Pavi's smug smirk grew wider, and he allowed yet another chuckled to escape him. "As a matter of-a fact, GeneCo and-a the circus are-a doing business together. So, I think that's it's-a you who should-a watch your step-a."

Nathan raised an eyebrow and then furrowed it at the veiled threat. "Well, I don't have anything to worry about then. After all, I paid my debt to GeneCo with my life already. The contract stated that death would free the person who signed it. I died. The Ringmaster brought me back to life, so the contract is now void. I don't have to watch anything. But, I will say this. If you try to hurt me or cause any trouble with the circus, I will gut you like the little fish you are." He flashed his knife.
"Now, since you two don't seem to be causing trouble, I'll go back to my small vacation." He turned and walked away. "Oh, and Mina? You can come out of the tent now, you have my full permission." He let the charm do its magic and chuckled as he knew what most likely would happen when she came. After all, he had heard half of the conversation, a most interesting one at that.

"And of course if you do manage to harm either of us a Geneco sniper will take you out in a second." Luigi pointed out casually. "Or have you already forgotten. We don't go out in public unless we're surrounded by bodyguards."
When Nathan called out to Mina though Luigi grew visibly upset. "She was there the whole time? Fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!" He glared in the direction of the tent, almost hoping Mina wasn't going to step out. Or at least that it wasn't the vampiress after all and instead it was some animals tent.
If the bat-woman was in there that meant that she likely heard all of Pavi and Luigi's conversation. And was also likely more than a little pissed that Luigi had harmed her own personal blood bank, and would likely get a few shots at Luigi herself.

"Thank you, Dr. Wallace." Mina called to the ex-Repo Man as she stepped out of the tent. So he was supposdly dead? That would explain why whenever he passed she didn't feel the need to feed like she did with most people. Mina looked back and forth between the two brothers. Giving Pavi a concerned look (at a small gleam of hunger at the sight of his blood) and a sharp glare at Luigi.
She tended to Pavi first, delicatly cupping his chin in her hand so that she could better see his wounds. She noticed two of his clamps were missing, he'd want that taken care of right away she knew. With the threat of his mask slipping off, and in public, it would be the first thing he'd want taken care of. "Are you alright?"

Pavi regarded Nathan with a cool glare, then a look of surprise as he the man called for Mina towards one of the tents. Suddenly, Pavi felt a rush of panic, having no idea just how much of he and Luigi's conversation the vampiress had heard. He doubted the woman would be incredibly judgmental...but it could certainly change any decent opinions she might have of himself. And for some reason, he was finding her judgment to be strangely important nowadays.
However, as she drew closer to him, Pavi was surprised again as Mina gently touched his face, genuine concern in her voice as she asked if he was alright. Closing his eyes for a moment as she looked at his wounds, Pavi slowly nodded, not meeting her gaze as he replied. "I'm-a fine, Mina. Just...a little accident, is all."

"Those 'accidents' tend to happen quite a bit when Luigi is around." Mina said lifting an eyebrow, she found it somewhat comical that Pavi was trying to cover up what just happened. Considering that she had been right next to them unseen the enitre time.
Mina turned around and bared her fangs at Luigi. "And you should know better than to harm Pavi on my home turf. Or would you like a repeat of what happened last time?" She gave him a cruel and challening smirk, daring him to say something or do something to her. Not only was she stronger and faster than him, but with Nathan around Luigi would get killed if he dared to harm her.

"Mina," Pavi said, a bit more firmly now. He gave her a look that signaled to drop it, but in a way that looked more like he was asking than demanding. He put a hand on the woman's shoulder, and looked at her a moment longer before turning his gaze up at Luigi. Though he wasn't quite certain of what particular reasons she was worrying over him for, aside from the thought of her blood supply running out, Pavi thought it best to allow this to wait.
His face maintained a hard look, and, though he said nothing, he knew that his brother would understand that this was not over. But of course, it never really was. Their "fights" were really just a long spanned rivalry, as anyone could see, with a few halts and pauses here and there.
"This is-a our fight. I would have-a done the same, if-a he had hooks in his-a face," Pavi said coolly, his eyes maintaining their hard stare. "But, can-a we agree to leave-a the fighting at-a home, brother? Or at least, not in front of-a the lady."

Luigi rolled his eyes in disgust at Mina's concern for his brothers wounds. He knew, partely, that Mina felt something for his brother, and he hated that. If it meant it would make Pavi happy than Luigi automaticaly hated it.
His head snapped in the Pavi's direction as he spoke. Luigi glared as he spoke, feeling the ever familiar rage boiling up inside of him. "Why?" Luigi mocked. "Can't stand having your whore vamp whore seeing how truely pathetic you are? Face if Pavi, if she saw you really and truely beg she'd never want to touch you again!" Then a thought came into Luigi's head.
"Maybe she should find out what a real man is like for a change." He walked over to Mina and wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her towards him and forcefully kissed her on her mouth. Knowing how much it would make Pavi beyond angry, and since Mina couldn't attack costumers (at least not with Nathan around) he was safe.
For now anyway.

Pavi twitched at the older Largo's mocking comments once again, but forced himself to stay silent and keep himself from fighting once again in fear of either causing Nathan to force the two to leave, or worse, or in fear of Mina snapping and attacking his brother in front of the assassin.
But the minute Luigi pulled the woman away, forcing himself upon her just for the sake of angering Pavi, something inside the younger Largo snapped. His jaw dropped, his eyes widening in shock beneath his mask, then narrowing in rage at the sight of his brother technically harassing Mina...his Mina. Whether he denied it or not, he had come to see the woman as his, he now realized, especially in potentially harmful situations.
In an instant, Pavi had jerked Luigi around by the shoulder, attempting to pull him back from the woman, and swung his fist in the other's direction. Hard. His fist slammed into what he assumed was Luigi's nose, and, with luck, he'd be right.
"You-a son of a bitch!" Pavi shouted, not caring now who he alerted or what trouble he got into. All that mattered now was getting back at Luigi, which was no doubt going to end badly soon enough.
