“Ah fuck Lovino, I was really looking forward you’d beat up that bastard. You just ruined my day.”
He gestured he should make way so he could sit beside him
and as he did he kissed his cheek.
(which in Cosa Nostra terms means he is regarded as an equal.
Whereas a kiss on the lips means he is going to murder you.
And a kiss and the hand is a sign of respect to ones boss)
“There now, relax a little… smoke?”
He lit a sigar and just kept staring at Lovino for a while in silence.
“Tell me, is that brother of yours still dating that copper?
Damn, I don’t know how many times I told him not to.
Have you got any idea what I have to do to keep that silly boy save?
The family does not approve of this at all.
They say: Vito, Vito, he started talking...
And I’m like shut the fuck up I know he did not.
I’m sure you understand…”
he thought for a moment
“You know what we need? Vino! Yes you must drink with me.“
