my post or yours?)

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:21:14 AM)
Renzo would have chosen a reprieve for them in the fashion of tradition and luxury. The Carlyle of New York, New York. One evening wouldn't do him in though Renzo expected to hear an ear full on frivolity from his Grandomother. "Now you must promise not to tell a soul I brought you here. Our little secret?" He winks to her before stepping out of the taxi.

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:24:36 AM)
That I can promise. Though I feel a little guilty that your present's turning into something of a play trip for me. Are you having fun? *A glance slanted his way. Curious and intent behind the casual smile.*

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:35:23 AM)
Renzo would meet her eyes, if only briefly when he said. "I thought the whole point of our delightful holiday trip was to celebrate each other?" As if something had distracted him, Renzo looked away. Perhaps that statement felt more commited then he had meant but the sentiment didn't seem to change. There was an almost detached tone to his voice. The twinges of humanity felt strange to him: exotic and curious. "Shall we see if the room is as impressive as the size?" He asked, his gaze drifting up into the night where the penthouse of the hotel was gleaming bright in the darkness.

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:39:46 AM)
wib! )

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:41:19 AM)
I was thinking of you, but I.. suppose so. *Chiara wasn't sure how to take that, with the nearly serious words, but the distant tone. She was careful in moments like these, wary of reaching out or assuming too much. She tore her gaze from him and gazed up ta the looming hotel.* Yes. I still can't get over the -height-. It really is a glass amd metal forest.

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:43:37 AM)
"Yeah, gotta hand it to the New Yorkers. They don't do anything just a tiny bit. It's all or nothing in this city." And he would offer Chiara the crook of his arm as a bell hop would come hurrying out of the hotel to fetch their bags.

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:44:06 AM)
"Shall we visit the bar for a sip of a night cap or would you prefer we get right down to business?"

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:45:42 AM)
"Oh, well I think that came out quite wrong." Renzo laughed. His cheeks would have been red had there been a recent kill that evening. As it was the vampire had been the perfect mortal gentleman, despite no doubt the occasional longing look at Chiara's throat. "I meant would you like to discuss the contracts I had in mind?"

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:51:55 AM)
*She'd tuck her arm into his, dragging her gaze forcible away. She slanted him a glance, though she'd grown comfortable enough to be amused more than scandalized.* Let's talk business first, I think. Then we can relax.

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 12:58:19 AM)
"Yes, you always did seem the responsible sort. You get this determined look. It's quite regal on your features. Positively screaming Italian Queen. I do so think you'd make darling royalty." Then an almost lamenting sigh, more for effect than necessity. "It seems those English always get the nobles. But tonight we'll see how much you can be treated like one. Room service while we chat I think?" He offered. "A desert after your messy pizza." He nods his head as if that idea sounded good as they entered the hotel and headed to the counter. The key pick-up would be painless, having purchased the room ahead of time. A languid tour on the way to the elevator began.

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:00:05 AM)
(dessert rather, Renzo isn't up to offering her the Sahara just yet. ;)

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:00:57 AM)
You can get me a title for another birthday, if I don't buy myself one first. *Drily, a teasing lilt beneath. A brow lifted at the offer, Chiara both pleased and delicately embarrassed. She smiled as s he nodded, tucking her hair carefully back behind an ear.* The hotel is gorgeous, Renzo.

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:07:57 AM)
Renzo would have been mildly shocked though pleasantly surprised at Chiara's quick retort. "I do so adore your humor. I should wish to hear more of it. Playful and yet refined. Witty but not elitist. It's quite charming." There was definately a way Renzo looked at her now. He just realized that he was beginning to understand the nuances of her personality. The revelation of that brought to contrast the stark reality of their walks of life. Renzo would be speechless a moment and then promptly change the subject. "I would like to present myself as the humble merchant of our dear and true snobs among the Camarilla. I want them to need us. And I need it in writing of course." He smiles with an a predatory look that was as almost as malicious as mischieous.

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:10:05 AM)
When the elevator arrived he would escort Chiara within and thus the wait would begin for their floor and suite. Renzo would politely keep his gaze forward, only glancing at her out of the corner of his eye as he spoke.

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:11:05 AM)
It's the company I keep. *A bright glance, his arm given a light squeeze. Warm flashed out of that smile, before her gaze flicked slowly down the hall. This was almost dream like. It felt real, but the handsome gentleman and glorious locale? It could have been in a movie. Both brows would lift, then come together as Chiara worked that over.* Is there a history of such contracts?

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:14:16 AM)
"Honey, you imply that I got through another one of Aldo's finely crafted books with their old book aroma. Remember I have trouble getting past the cover." A glance to her and he continued in stride. "Kidding aside I haven't heard a peep about the practice."

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:18:32 AM)
Do you think Aldo would know? We really should start there. We'll want to copy the language already in use.

Renzo Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:22:35 AM)
"Aldo? Perhaps. I should remind myself to leave a note for him when we return. As for copying: strategic yes but I want a particularly Giovanni touch to it. Your touch to be precise. I would find it terribly amusing that we might be able to bind other families to our service with the pen of one as remarkably unspoiled as you."

Chiara Giovanni (Feb 23, 2011 1:25:35 AM)
...It's better if you don't use that level of honesty with me. *Dry again, Chiara aiming a half hearted swat at him with her scarf, hand shaking slightly.* We just need to do our prelimanary research on contracts. I assume you've done your area research?
