[While Lancia was far too humble for his own good, Faustino still respected what he had to say and what he thought. If he believed that Reborn was someone worth watching, then Faustino would do everything in his power to make it so that was possible.

The implication that he couldn't control Al made him huff slightly.]

He's his own person. He was always free to do what he pleases.

[Though conveniently, it was typically what Faustino wanted him to do.

Then, to help derail the conversation he added helpfully:]

You will be pleased to hear that Ciro is still a model student. All of the teachers adore him.

[Mostly because he was quiet and tended to keep his other shit friends in line, but who was keeping track? Not Faustino.]
