Nikos is not the only one of extraordinary character in the family. But I must warn you; the penchant for the dramatic is equally hereditary.
( She muses, humming quietly. )
If you arrive say... nine o'clock, or thereabouts. I'll make sure there is sufficient bribery to keep him there. And, if you tell me your drink of choice, I can make sure I don't neglect you.
[ For Nikos, he means. It's obviously the correct word for Marisol. ]
Nine o'clock or thereabouts it is, then. I'm afraid my drink of choice is somewhat less extraordinary. Ale, though I would request it not be too watered down.
[ the drink of the people, he's walkin the walk ok. ]
A number live in the gardens. When first I arrived in Kirkwall, one of the workers in the Gallows found himself cornered by one. As a rule, flamingoes do not greatly enjoy being menaced with brooms. I think both were traumatised by the event - I did not wish to leave you so scarred.
( She muses, though. ) Nothing should be needed. If you feel overcome by the need to bring something I will not deny you, but we should have sufficient supplies of cards, cigars and drinks. Food can be seen to if we need it, but I thought we could limit what Nikos has at hand to throw at us, at least initially.

Always. ( Or, well. Correcting herself: ) At least twenty percent of the time, I think.
Ale? Ah, of course. Antiva is known better for its wines, but I can appreciate a fine ale. I'll see what I can do.
( Read: she's going to make sure the cellar has a shitload of fancy ale. It's probably already there, but she'll get more. Oh, and another thing— )
You aren't afraid of flamingoes, are you?

[ A charming non sequitur, surely, but also: is your cousin ok, Nikos. ]
Will they be part of the surprise?
