Thread: Upholding Familigia Values & Traditions (Athene & Silverknight)

Ethan stood in front of a pool table, his cue stick in his right hand as he lined up a shot. He was a person who loved to play games of skill and this was one of them. His eyes looked down the cue at the white ball as he aimed it skillfully before he shot it. The ball took off like a rocket, hitting another one which slid quickly along the top of the green table before going into a pocket. As it did a smile appeared on the man's face as he looked over in the direction of another man nearby who he had been playing the game against. Now, game, as normal, victory, Ethan said with a half grin on his face as he put the cue on the table and went over to the bar and poured himself a drink. It was his place, or rather one, and it was closed today as he was to get some important and big news, the details of which he wasn't sure about yet. Well, Mario, want a some yourself? he asked as he looked over at his friend whom he had just beat at the game. He had known Mario since well forever, Mario's father worked for his, and his grandfather worked for his grandfather and so forth since the old days back in Sicily before the Nazi Army took it over. Yeah, sure, Ethan, Mario commented as he knew something that Ethan didn't he had been told to keep him happy until the news was broke to him. He was the one to break it, though that was an idea. He had heard about the marriage plans between them and the Asian family. Strange, but needed, at least that was what he was told and he was a man who would do what was best for the family no matter what. He figured that this was the only way, especially given that he was going to take over and well Ethan was good at making money but not so good with women anyhow. He took the drink as he sat down. He had known the man for 26 years, and now he was to tell him he had to get married to a Asian woman he didn't know. This was so not fair, If only Elise was in town and could of played up the younger sibling adorability and used that to help her sneak it by him, but nope. Well, I heard some really big news, about things, apparently... What the doctor's think that my father is going to give up or something that old bulldog won't die now, he is too stubborn to die, Ethan said guessing the topic before it was said. No, Old man Giovanni won't die that soon, no, a deal was made, and well your going to get married, Mario commented as he figured he had to just toss it out there. No other way then the truth direct and from him. What the hell, Ethan said with a great deal of disbelieve as he heard the comment from his friend. Married, me what, damn, I... damn, he said knowing that his father's word was law and he couldn't go against it no matter what he wanted. Especially when he was on his deathbed, that just wouldn't work. He let out a sigh, he wasn't happy about this and didn't want to marry someone. Which sister of some member of the group is, or do I know her? No, she is from those Asians, Mario commented not remembering their names. Yeah, that was a bigger shocker then just him getting married. He blinked he figured a good Italian woman, that would be what he was forced to marry. No, an Asian woman, this was strange, what the hell was going on, he didn't want this. He was not one to agree to marry some strange woman with strange customs. He took his drink and downed it quickly before slamming it down hard, not hard enough to break it but to make his point. Damn, Fuck, Damn, he said loudly, I need time to think of a way to get out of this. I am sure we are going to have to meet son, and perhaps this woman hates the idea as much as I do.
