As the car pulls into the lot of the Bacchus, Constantino sends Emelia in to make sure his existance is not in peril. Upon her return, Constantino would await his driver to open his door and walk up to the Bacchus, glancing over his shoulders every few yards to not any observers.

Escort Service - (attn: Charles Grey & Constantino Giovanni) 5/23/09 @ 11pm
Posted by DeAnna Ross
Lily opened the door and peeked tentatively into the Bacchus. The man at the door smiled. He'd met Miss Lily before and knew her to be the younger 'touched' sister of an excentric millionaire Thomas Cahill. As Mr. Cahill was such a good customer of Bacchus, of course, the man at the door immediately moved to open the door fully for her and take her jacket.
"Miss Lily, it's been far too long..." the man chirped brightly to the newest arrival.
The mousey brown haired woman of no more than 26 entered with an approachable smile. Beneath her light jacket, Miss Lily wore a very plain button down white shirt that hung long outside her brown suede skirt that came just above the floor and pooled lazily upon her high shine black pointed toe ankle boots.
"Robert... right?" Lily asked politely.
"Yes, how good of you to remember me Miss Lily."
"I never forget a gentleman Robert."
"Your usual table Miss Lily?" He offered as he took the coat and gave it to another staff member. Bacchus was known for it's excellant service; an elite social spot for even the elite... money alone didn't get you into this particular watering hole. You had to know someone first and the only thing easy about that was how easily you could lose the right to patronize the establishment once you lost it. Men were required to wear slacks here and women skirts... the cheapest drink served in the whole place was a foreign beer that cost 8 bucks a bottle and had been barrell aged since some ancillae in the domain were still breathing.
"Yes, Robert... I'm expecting company."
The man smiled. It was no secret she always came to Bacchus in the company of the rough looking Mr. Grey. Rumors had it that Mr. Grey owned cattle somewhere southwest of town and that was where he'd come into money and the right to "court" (as he called it) Mr. Cahill's younger sister.
"Mr. Grey then?"
She nodded with a wide smile of a June bride. "And another friend... I believe he's been here before, Mr. Constantino Giovanni. If he's not on the list as my guest, please see that he's added."
"Of course Miss Lily. Anything you'd like. I'll see to your usual drink."
Lily smiled as she watched Robert walk away from her at the corner booth that was reserved for her 'brother.' Thomas had allowed her to make use of it tonight and while she couldn't see him... Lily wondered exactly where Nathaniel was, surely he had come to make sure she made it on her own. How they fussed over her!
Settling in, Lily took in the rich atmosphere, the beautiful dark crimson and gold decor, the sweet scent of exotic tobaccos mixed with the most expensive wines the world ever knew... and as her glass of iced wine was put in front of her she couldn't help but slow frown regretfully at it and sigh. It would have to do just to live through all these other people who were having such a good time tonight... just as she did every other night of her 'life.'

Emelia finds the bar lacking in any immediate or obvious threats. She will make note of Nathaniel Calhoun's presence but he's in a back alleyway and apparently not yet (or perhaps not going to) entered. It looks as though he's waiting for something as he checked his watch while standing in the alleyway.
The door will be opened for Constantino and Robert, who is a tall thin man with dark hair cropped short and respectable, will politely ask for Constantino's name. Upon receieving it, he will inquire as to what Mr. Giovanni would like to drink while he waits for service at his table with Miss Lily.

A tall, rough cut figure approaches the rear door to Bacchus, a black cowboy hat firmly in place on his head, he wears a goattee style beard with smooth shaved cheeks. His dress is barely up the standards of the place, but there is an air about him that is off putting to most mortals, the air of the hunter, something that says he is not quite what he seems.
He walks through the door without a word to any of the staff, looks around with squinted eyes taking in all the room and making no effort to disguise his appraisal of all those present. When his gaze lands on Lily, the slightest hints of a smile twitches at his lips, but more in his eyes the way they light up at seeing her.
He walks over to her table directly and sits down next to her without saying a word.

"The finest house wine, would be delightful. Thank you sir."
Constantino is dressed in his typical black suit. His shirt is gold with a black tie. Noting that the decor is crimson and gold, he would chuckle a bit to himself, hoping any 'rosey' onlookers would take note that his attire fits quite well for the setting.
Waiting to be seated, he would notice Lily, alone at her booth, and smile graciously. At the same time wondering if the other gentleman he had heard mentioned would be joining them, or if he would get to enjoy her company himself this evening.

"You must be Mr. Giovanni. Please... have a seat I was just..." Lily cuts off and smiles at Charlie as he sits down. "Charles, so good of you to make it. This is the lovely Mr. Giovanni that Thomas was telling us about." The waiter comes over with a shot of fine whiskey and beer which are placed in front of Mr. Grey. After showing the label of a VERY expensive bottle of wine to Constantino, he pops the cork and let's Mr. Giovanni sniff it before slowly pouring him a glass.
Lily watches like a dehydrated desert dweller in the dry season might watch the first drops of rain fall from the sky.
"Is there anything else you'd like tonight Miss Lily, Mr. Grey... Mr. Giovanni? Perhaps a fine cigar or a pipe with one of our choice leafs?"

Grey looks at Constantino and eyes him up and down once. While the waiter pours, he obviously watches Lily, but says nothing.

Grey slowly shakes his head, making a small conservative negative motion with his hand, but says nothing.

Constantino notes Lily's rude interuption to acknowledge Mr. Grey with a smile on his face, appearing to have not cared at all. He nods to the waiter after the wine is poured and raises his glass. Swirling the wine, he offers a toast.
"My new friends, Lily, and Charles, may what we start here today be a strengthening pillar for the community, and Mr. Cahill's beloved city."

"I do declare, you're just a peach! I do think we're going to get along well Mr. Giovanni. My brother has said some very nice things about you and Mr. Caruso. Apparently, Mr. Caruso did him the kindess of securing a lovely Kentucky mare. I'm not much of a horse girl but Thomas was very happy with it. He doesn't praise people often so you and he must have made quite the impression on him."
With that she picks up her wine glass and spins it a little, letting the clear liquid gloss up and down on the sides.

Well Cici, is quite resourceful. I'm glad he was pleased with it. I did note that he was outside earlier, he wasn't going to be joining us tonight was he?"
Constantino sips his wine, and stares at a spot just over Lily's shoulder for a moment. Obviously testing its qualities on his pallet. With an almost inperceptable nod, he drops out of his momentary trance.
"So what is it that the two of you do around town? And please don't take my inquiries more than they are. I always find it best to get to know my associates before venturing into business at hand, especially with company as esteemed as yourselves."
