Castello di Casole [Monday Evening, October 14, 2013]

[endsthegame]

The sun had fallen behind the horizon, but the lights around the estate were still on and its staff was still ready to look after your every whim - within reason. Here's your chance to dash back into town for a good party, or relax out in your room before you go to bed.

"Yeah, well, I never finished the book I started at the strip club," Gert replied.

It was a new book. Still, though.

"How many phone numbers've you got so far?" she asked, turning her book over in her lap to look up at him. She was genuinely curious.

"A dozen or so," Cade said, signalling for a drink. "Need something to drink too?"

"Yeah, okay," Gert said after a slight pause, because who turned down a free drink? She wasn't stupid. "What do you recommend? And that's a lot. Congrats."

"You want something sweet or sour?" Cade asked. "Something that doesn't taste too much like booze?"

"You know, I would have thought so, but I tried one of those cocktails with fruit slices earlier and it was terrible," Gert complained. "Maybe something that comes with fewer gratuitious drink umbrellas is more my speed."

"Try a whiskey sour," he said. "It doesn't taste like candy, but it doesn't taste like a shot either. Plus it comes with a cherry."

He ordered two.

"Two bonus points right there," Gert noted. "And it doesn't even have the words 'sex' or 'passion' in the name."

She approved.

"Well, that's your first mistake," Cade said. "Those are for really amateur drinkers."

Re: A Bar on the Piazza Cairoli

Gert raised an eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure I am an amateur drinker."

Well. Point.

"Yeah, but you don't want them to know that," Cade said.

"You don't think the fact that I'm reading a book at a bar gave it away?"

"Well, it probably didn't help," Cade replied. "Stop that."

"Well, now I'm talking to a guy who's gotten a dozen girls' numbers tonight," Gert mused, tapping her chin in fake-thought. "I don't know if that helps my bar cred or not."

"It definitely helps," said Cade, always modest.

Re: A Bar on the Piazza Cairoli

"Because all the girls you talk to are cool, veteran drinkers."

This was her doubtful face.

Re: A Bar on the Piazza Cairoli

"Pretty much," Cade said.

Or at least most of the girls were veterans at hanging out in seedy bars. Cade had the best taste in girls.

"Uh huh."

Gert's eyebrows were so being raised right now.

"Well," she decided, turning to the glasses on the bar, "to your discerning taste."

Or something.

Cade held his up. "Hopefully this is more interesting than your book."
