Summary; Alessandro had gotten a request to hear confession and agreed to meet Ky at the beach to hear it.
Log;

It had taken some discussion with Ky to figure out where Alessandro would hear his confession but they had eventually decided to meet at the beach. The young pope had been truthful in that he'd taken confession before but he was still just as nervous as he'd been before. At the moment he was waiting with Father Tres at a slight distance just to make it more private, though he knew that most likely the robotic priest could if he wanted, hear what was being said.

Ky had, in his own time, met the Pope before. It's nothing, he assured himself, but he was nervous nontheless. He crested the hill and spotted a young boy; he sat down on the beach. ...maybe I should ask him to leave, he considering, knowing he didn't want an audience.

Alessandro looked over as an older looking man came. I guess that's him... Alessandro cou;dn't help but feel nervous, it had been quite a while since he'd taken confession and he hoped he didn't faint like that one time he'd given the sacrament... He walked over. He'd dressed in plainclothes for safety's sake as his papal robes were out of place and his brother insisted it was for his own safety.

"Ah, a-are you Ky, sir?"

Ky looked down at the teenager in front of him. He was slight, and timid, and he wondered how the boy knew his name.

"Yes," he responded softly in his best I'm not going to hurt you voice, "I'm Ky. Can I help you?"

Perhaps the boy had heard he had been trying to help people who were lost and frightened in the City; that was how things usually worked when someone approached him and called him "Sir." Or they were looking to get out of trouble, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Alessandro was relieved, afraid he'd just approached the wrong person. He smiled a bit nervously and extended his hand to Ky.

"I-I'm Alessandro, we spoke on the network a-about my hearing your confession..."

Ky stared.

And stared.

And stared some more.

He didn't know what to say; if this was really his Holiness the Pope, he risked offending him, but he couldn't be more then sixteen years old. He restrained himself from swearing in French - a bad habit picked up at the police station, and asked, as blandly as he could, "You're Pope Alessandro?"

Alessandro got more nervous as Ky didn't say anything and lowered his hand nervously. He'd forgotten how people had been surprised by his age... But he couldn't help the fact that he'd been thrown into the Papal elections so shortly after his father's death.

"Y-yes... I-I am..."

"Your Holiness," Ky began, taking a deep breath and quicky grabbing the young man's hand, kissing the ring finger in respect, "I'm so sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but..."

Ky paused for a moment and released the pope's hand. "...how old are you?"
