[When the SFC turns on, Angelo can be seen dressed in a well tailored suit. This is the first time he's done something important, so he wants to make a good impression. Taking a brief moment to clear his throat, he's smiling at the camera. Or at the very least, he's faking that smile. For whose familiar with the accent as well, it will be one of the British/English variety.]

Good day citizens of Vatheon, I have two announcements. The first is an important announcement on behalf of our Golden Victory Host Club. As many of you are aware, our former president Zelos departed and recently returned to the fair city. However despite this situation and prior to Zelos' return to the city, we still made the decision to go forward and change management. The new heads of the host club are the former vice president Peony and I, the great Angelo, am its new vice president. In regards to the rest of the club, no changes will be made and we are in fact looking for more people to stop by. So if you're interested in either stopping by or becoming a member of the club, do feel free to come by or let us know. Furthermore, with the changing of management, any questions about our club can be directed to myself or Peony either by SFC voicemail or in person.

[He keeps up that smile while making the second announcement, even if deep down, this is hurting way more than it should.]

The second announcement is more of a personal one. For those who knew my adopted daughter Ib, I'm afraid to say she's been taken away from the city back to her home. I personally believe she'll be much safer there than here, so I'm glad she was able to make it home. Though I'm sure she will be deeply missed by those who knew her, so please remember her for the time she was here.

[He halts in his walking again, his expression now sadder.]

If you left, I would completely give up on everything.

[bufudine]

[Serph casts his gaze across the ocean, which is sparkling in the sun.]

Then her departure matters.

[Admit it!!]

[beauchevalier]

[Never in a million years. Though Angelo stands right next to Serph to gaze out at the ocean.]

I'm not saying it didn't matter, her going home is much better than being here.

[bufudine]

[If he goes 'home', it won't be better than being here. Serph can't help but think that.]

You still wish she was here.

[There's no judgement in his voice or expression.]

[beauchevalier]

[He looks back to Serph and then leans in towards his ear, whispering into it.]

Even if I do, having you here is as important to me.

[bufudine]

[ANGELO. PERSONAL SPACE, PLEASE. Still, Serph doesn't show any change in expression, instead casting his gaze across the ocean.]

Does this mean I've won our bet?

[beauchevalier]

[What is personal space? He does not understand this and continues leaning in, but then leans a little away when Serph brings up the bet.]

Yes it does. [A sigh.] And here I'd thought you'd forgotten about it. So I guess that means I have to lay off alcohol for a time, hmm? Well, I'm a man of my word and will do so.

[bufudine]

[(BAH)... Serph glances to the side Angelo is standing at.]

It does not need to be immediate.

[beauchevalier]

[Serph is so close to him and the temptation is right in front of him, so he decides to do it. Quickly he leans forward and kisses Serph on the cheek before pulling away to run off into the water, laughing loudly the entire time between grinning widely.]

[bufudine]

[DAMMIT ANGELO. Serph frowns and wipes the saliva from the kiss off his face with the back of his hand. But he doesn't give chase -- he knows that would just give Angelo gratification -- folding his arms instead and giving Angelo a ):|]

[beauchevalier]

[Returning to Serph's side, he spots that expression on Serph's face and still laughs. Though he wasn't chasing, seeing Serph react that way was worth it.]

I always love the expressions you make when we're together, especially when I do something unpredictable.
