The Vindice are a terrifying emotionless collective. Except that they're also not, apparently, because Bermuda can't quite help but want to protect the brightest Sky any of them have ever seen.

Bermuda perched himself on Jager's shoulder, having delegated literally any possible happening up to and including the Man in the Iron Hat choosing to show his face so that he would have the entire day to supervise Vongola and their many guests for the Decimo's official introduction—without interruption.

They had one stop to make before then, though, as a favor to the current Mist Arcobaleno. Because that favor was for Tsunayoshi's sake, Bermuda felt quite accommodating.

Jager made the portal and stepped through, and the greeting of, "Holy shit, kora!" quickly cut off into wide-eyed silence.

Bermuda let Jager be the one to speak, as he usually did in situations he chose to personally oversee—frankly, the man's voice was more intimidating than his own, and Bermuda would admit to taking pleasure in the fear of others.

"Rain Arcobaleno Colonnello," Jager greeted, flat and uncompromising. "You are to accompany us."

Colonnello swallowed, but straightened his shoulders all the same, "What are the charges?"

Willing to question. Bermuda had judged him correctly.

"There are none," Jager replied, "Dismiss your students. You will not be returning today; your assistance is required in Sicily."

Colonnello paused, clearly taken aback. "Um. Are you Bermuda?"

"No," Jager stated, still flat.

Bermuda answered the question himself, "I am Bermuda. The current Mist Arcobaleno has requested that I ensure your presence. As this is for the Decimo's sake, I was willing to agree."

The Rain swallowed and nodded, "Right. Okay. That kid's terrifying. Sure," he turned his attention to his 'students' who were apparently frozen in fear. "Kora! You maggots clear out for the day, and make sure you're on time tomorrow! Any slackers get extra training!"

Satisfied that the Rain's duties were suitably dismissed for the moment, Bermuda nodded to his Right Hand, who snapped out a chain to snatch up both the Rain and his weapon as Bermuda opened a portal, and they stepped through to the Vongola Mansion and the quietly contained chaos therein.

The Decimo's youngest Storm spotted them first and let out a breath, visibly relieved. "Bermuda, Jager, good. Mamma and the kids are here and Mammon is trying a last-minute workaround for the CEDEF's last-minute changes. If you can get Colonnello to Lal Mirch, she can get him sorted out, but right now the Varia need some extra eyes."

Ah. A possible danger. Bermuda caught Jager's quick glance and smiled behind his bandages—of course they would help to protect the Sky.
