gio was already a drink in. he was able to take some time off from teaching to fully focus on his job as a general. this had been his life since he was seventeen. the family had gone through so much shit over the years. while this wasn’t a shock to gio, it was a shock to most people. the one that worried gio most was richie. he had a lot of talks with him since he started taking on a lot more work. his transformation to richard left him without the part of himself that everyone loved. it was needed but it was concerning. the job and the family were important but he needed to take care of himself at the end of the day. that’s why he arranged this time between richie, sao, and himself. they needed to talk shit through. he sat at his usual place at the bar going over some names in his head. gio smiled at sao “richard should be here soon. you know how i feel about him. he’s taking on a lot which is great for us. it’s weird that i kind of see him as a son. ”

thing have been heated for the past few days. people stepping out of line. the new training regimen. sammy and saoirse going at it. it was a little too much. richie had put his foot down. it was a complete attitude change from the richie that everyone knew. gio appreciated it yet it worried him. everyone loved richies playful side as much as they didn't want to admit it. he did agree that he needed an attitude change to be taken seriously. this wasn’t what he expected. it was keeping people in line but the fun side of richie was hidden away maybe even gone forever. gio had sent a text to richie asking if he needed a drink to which he responded with hell yes. that’s how he ended up at skyfall. when richie arrived, gio greeted him with a smile. “richie or should i call you richard now? gotta admit it will take a lot of getting used to. anyway, sao said we could chat in her office. she has a bottle of scotch in her desk.”

gio went from spending a lot of time grading papers at his dining room table to making sure orders were in place and arriving on time in the skyfall bar office. it was a lifestyle change. something that went from peaceful to mildly hectic at times. sao used to spend a lot of time here. he had a picture of her on the desk. it was one from their wedding day. not many people had the opportunity to see it. over time, gio learned a lot about skyfall. even before saorise had planned to leave. now he was finally getting into a groove. he was in the middle of a phone call with an alcohol distributor when richie walked in. “yeah. yeah. well, make it your priority to get it here tomorrow morning. i pay you more than enough money. you may as well do your damn job and get here on time. perfect.” he hung up the phone and turned to richie. “richard. hello. have a seat my friend. how can i assist you?”
