Giovanni expected the refusal. To be honest, he was trying to be completely honest with her, but his unusual depressed state of mind was compromising his judgement. If he would have thought for a moment that he was in the Red Light District, he would realize why she thought this way.
"What's happening to you?"
Giovanni thought. "You're better than this."
It was then that a change began to happen. Giovanni's depression began to rescind. He stood taller and the fire in his eyes returned. He felt a strength return to him. A strength he had not felt since his days with the Atharim.
"Have you ever looked for a new beginning?"
Giovanni said, his voice significantly stronger. Three years ago, I started looking for a new start. I left everything behind. Since then, I've wandered from place to place, barely getting by, until I came here. I don't believe in coincidences, Signorina. There is a reason why I'm in Moscow, and I believe it is time for me to rejoin that which I left behind three years ago. You want to know why I stopped you? I stopped you because you appeared to be someone who could help me become a part of society again."
Giovanni paused for a moment and took a step forward before continuing, "I'll be honest and say I did not know how to approach this question. I've barely spoken to anyone for years and talking to people isn't something I'm good at anymore. Everything has changed since..."
Giovanni's voice trailed off as he realized he was going too far. "Anyways, will you help me?"
Giovanni removed the cloak, and threw it to the ground revealing his black shirt, black pants, and black shoes beneath.
"You told me to lose the cloak. I have listened, what now?"
