[The moment passes, and Dio feels... better, somewhat. Discussing more serious matters can wait, but right now, while they're here - Lucciola has an awkward-looking lance. Everything in this place is kind of clunky and awkward, but then, most thinks compared to the Guild are clunky and awkward. Dio finds them charming.
He lets go of Lucciola and takes a step back.]
I hope it's decent. [Briefly, he considers asking if they should have a friendly little spar to find out! but - not now, not yet. Instead he looks around before doing the most logical thing possible, which happens to be stooping down to stick his hand through a gap in the vegetable patch's fence (someone should fix that) and plucking a cucumber out. They won't miss one, certainly.
He holds it up. Who's ready for the most dignified exercise of new equipment.] How well does it deal with moving targets?
[And then he tosses it up in the air. This is definitely the best reunion anyone could have asked for, courtesy of Dio.]
