so this is not remotely a Coherent Thought but i was thinking idly the other day. you know how beatrice got diavolo a fish for christmas. he didn't even know they were in a "christmas present tier relationship" but it occurred to me that he might, at the very least, make an effort to return the favor this year, possibly with something less ridiculous than a fish. if nothing else, he is in possession of one of beatrice's umbrellas, and it is about time he properly returned it. he is not aware that beatrice is Gone, nor does he have the slightest idea who lion is, but he knows vaguely where beato lived (bottom floor of 38-8). does lion live there. is there any chance they can run into each other. reaches out my arms
