Seems like a good a place as any. Besides, I’m sure the two of them will want to have you all to themselves.

[Al has never hidden how much he drinks up Faustino’s attention and, Lancia suspects, Ciro is similar, but just a lot more subtler. Best not get in the way. For a second, he considers putting his hand to Faustino’s hair again, before he decides against it. Best not let the other think he’s still being treated as a child. So he goes instead for a simple pat on his back before he starts to head down the hall.]

Take care, Faustino.
