Who: Giotto and YOU!
What: Exploring the Castle
When: Anytime today
Where: Anywhere in the Castle-just say where they are somewhere
Rating: ...T?

[After a week of being stuck here and exploring the city, Giotto decided it was time to explore the castle itself. This place was actually quite large, and if he was going to be living here then he should explore it thoroughly. It always helped to be prepared, no matter what the situation, and from he's heard, this castle liked to do things to its residents on a regular basis. If he was going to keep with his promise and foil the castle at every turn, he needed to know what he had to work with. Knowing the enemy, one could say, because it was the building itself.

So today only, you'll find him wandering the halls and in public areas casually, almost lazily, though he's really inspecting them and cementing the layout of this place into his head. Come bother him on his wonderful endeavor.]

Then please, sit. [Mufasa nods to the table just nearby.]

[Giotto makes his way over and sits at the table, propping his chin up with his hand and looking over at Mufasa.]

[And as he does, Mufasa makes a note of the number of the page before closing it shut with his paw and sliding it off to the side.]

I hope you've settled in well enough?

As well as can be, of course. I have been kidnapped by a castle.

True enough. At least you weren't kidnapped by, say, a magical swampland. I'd imagine that'd be far less accommodating.

It wouldn't have nice rooms for one.

I'd dare say it'd have much to offer at all, aside from some grouchy crocodiles and other similarly hospitable animals.

[Is he kidding? It's hard to tell, with him.]

I'd rather not get eaten by any crocodiles, thank you. [Do crocodiles eat people in Mufasa's world? Are there any people at all? So many question, but he won't ask them.]

Ah, they're not so bad, once you get to know them. They can just be a little testy sometimes. [Well, that answers that question. Sort of.]

[It answers the question admirably. But now, here's another.] Do all animals talk on your version of Earth?

Indeed, they do. Though there are some that are notably more talkative than others.

Hm, like you, I suppose. [Because Giotto can totally do witty banter.]

Ahaha, touche! Though, that just may as well be a side effect of having gotten to my age and having far too much knowledge to keep to myself.

I'm sure you impart it with great indifference and no amusement at all. [Now you're getting his patented blank stare, Mufasa.]

Perhaps a little amusement. [He swears his intentions aren't always trollish!]

Only a little? [Okay, they were getting nowhere with this conversation fast.] What were you reading, before I distracted you?

Hm? Oh, just a little book on what you all call "Christmas". I should wonder if you have a holiday for every month!

Christmas. Yet another family holiday. And not for every month. [A pause.] There's nothing in March that I know of.

Oh? Should I be on the lookout for January and February as well, then?

January is the new year, and February... [He thinks.] Perhaps there's not much in February.

I see. Perhaps I'll read up on that one, next.

Do you have a favorite holiday, Giotto?

Do you read up on everything you hear about?

Ah, not particularly. I've never really thought about it.

Perhaps not everything. Just whatever happens to catch my interest at the time.

Oh? Well, Thanksgiving and Christmas certainly sound right up your alley.

And holidays are the best place to start.

[A soft smile graces his lips as he thinks about that.] Of course. But then again, I'm with my family most of the time. A holiday makes no difference.

Oh? Do you not partake in the events particular to those holidays?
