SATURDAY NIGHT: WATERSONG [OPEN]

[satore]

It was supposed to be a wild night out with his older cousins. Itt was supposed to be them showing how much more wild their little town was. It was supposed to be all boys together but Tonio had been quickly disappointed by their promises. Not in the club, no the club wasn't so bad but Tonio had been abandoned by his cousin after he realised that the autograph was a one-off thing and Tonio didn't actually make a habit of hanging around young, beautiful actresses and all their beautiful friends.

Gian was dancing with a girl and who knows where the others where, leaving Tonio alone to prop up the bar. Smiling in bemusement, he ran a hand through his hair before leaning across to order another drink. Well, if he wasn't going to find entertainment with his cousins then he'd have to make his own up. Taking his drink, he glanced across the crowd with a mischievous smile lingering on his lips before he caught someone's eye.

"Ciao, can I get you a drink?"

Comments

"Ah, but surely you would be out of a business if you were buying everyone drinks?" Tonio replied with a cheeky grin. Taking her hand, he shook hers firmly before adding to the bartender that he'd like to buy his boss whatever she wanted. "Tonio Satore. Nice place you have Ms Quinn."

[asharpertongue]

Oh she liked this one already. She smiled. "I know who you are, Tonio. I've seen you In the restaurant." She said, taking the drink from Michael as the bartender moved along. "What brings you to my bar tonight?"

[satore]

"Ah, but a gentleman should always introduce himself to a lady officially. And thank you again for your patronage, you always brighten up a very dull day." Tonio replied with a grin. Running a hand through his errant curls, he took his own drink before looking through the crowd to point out his cousins. "It was supposed to be a boys night out, I've been abandoned."

[asharpertongue]

"Oh no! That's awful." Lara exclaimed. "We'll have to find something for you to do to keep you occupied."

[satore]

"And what would you have me do?" Tonio asked, a playful grin on his lips. "To occupy myself."

[asharpertongue]

Lara made a show of looking him up and down. She had no intention of having him do anything with her but it's always fun to flirt. "Well I run a bar. Drinking seems like an available option. Especially now that you know the owner. " She gestured around the room. "And dancing seems like a thing you young people are keen on."

[satore]

"Ah but you need a partner to dance with bella," he replied, gesturing to himself with a faux little pout. He grinned before taking his drink. "And sadly I am by myself."

[asharpertongue]

"We can't have that." She said, nudging him around to survey the crowd. "Surely there must be someone here that takes your fancy? Or is there someone special in your life already?"

[satore]

"Sadly I think you're taken bella, so I suppose I will have to settle." Tonio added with a charming little smile. Looking around the room, he shrugged his shoulders before leaning back a little. "Ah, there are too many beautiful people here. Too much choice."

[asharpertongue]

Lara laughed. "Maybe you need something simpler? Just the alcohol and good conversation."

[satore]

"I'm Venetian, I don't think we do simple." Tonio replied with a laugh. Most of the houses in Venice looked elegant and simple, sometimes even ruinous but on the inside it could be like Carnivale every day. A lot of the Patrician families after all had escaped with their wealth during the upheavals. "Good conversation is always entertaining but I prefer the conversation where you don't just use your mouth."

Tonio grinned as he flirted a little terribly with her. He wasn't really flirting, he knew she had taken a man which was terrible really. Such a shame for all hot blooded men of Siren Cove.

[asharpertongue]

"You're not backwards in coming forwards, are you? I approve. It's a shame your talents are wasted on me." She hummed thoughtfully. "I do know one young lady that appreciates charm like yours though." She smiled and pointed out a young blonde dancing alone uncaring of the crowd of onlookers she was gathering. Risa had just turned twenty three and she was a good siren, well controlled. Lara had no qualms about sending a little...distraction her way, if Tonio fancied a little challenge.
