unlikely pair [cado]

[Deleted]

Strutting into a place she had inhabited what had to be a dozen times, the young heiress forced her dear friend to link arms with her as they entered the elaborated, artic- themed building. Within seconds of their entrance, they were greeted by what appeared to be the hostess though Piper immediately had other ideas for the woman. The Lounge uniforms were sexy but with a class to them, drawing attention to the women whose only purpose was to deliver the appropriate drinks and appetizers. The particular waitress who greeted them was unfamiliar to the blonde bombshell but beautiful, which was a rarity she desired.

“Isn’t this place so chic, Cado?” She asked her good friend, separating herself from him when she noticed how good looking their server was. “Believe it or not, the amazing owner of this club might help finance my baby! He seems interested; I just have to keep him on the hook.” She winked in her friend’s direction as she decided to take it upon herself to find them a seat in the sector of the venue that met her standards.

She waited rather impatiently for a server to take their order and head off to get their appropriate drinks. She sighed at the woman’s service, rolling her baby-blue eyes as the server walked away to preform her job. The young blonde couldn’t help but check her out as she walked, wrinkling her nose at the final product before turning to look back at Cado. “So, how is the gig at Arkham going? I swear, you are far too talented to waste your efforts at such a place. You are the total definition of a martyr.” At least, she thought that was the proper definition and she had used the term correctly.

Avocado looked around the Iceberg Lounge.. it wasn't a place he had ever been actually. This was his first venture into the lavished lounge and he felt somewhat out of place. yes, he was wearing a rather nice set of dress pants and a black button up shirt, his hair combed and tied back..but he felt like he was under dressed compared to Piper ..and everyone else.

As they sat, waiting for their drinks, Cado only nodded in agreement to Piper. They had been friends for awhile now, he admired her and he believed she admired him...or his musical talent at least. He shrugged at Piper as she said he was wasting his time playing his music at Arkham.. perhaps, But Cado believed his music was helping those who needed a tender note to hear in the dreary walls of the asylum.

He then turned his attention to the small live String band that was playing, their music echoing through out the Lounge and was somewhat in competition with the many chattering voices of the high end customers. Cado smiled as he turned back to Piper and then gestured towards the large iceberg with the penguins on the ice.

As the server brought back her drink, Piper’s eyes lingered on the woman’s assets once more, but the woman was more than willing to feed into the attention. There was no doubt that she was good at her job as she flirted back and forth with the Mayors daughter and would continue too throughout the evening. “Oh, my friend here would like a martini, extra dirty. Please and thanks. Put it on my tab.” She couldn’t help but laugh as the woman retreated, trying extra hard to get Piper to notice her efforts as she sauntered away. Turning back to her dear friend, she couldn’t help but smirk. “Someone wants a tip,
doesn’t she? Please- no matter how trashed I get…don’t let me take her home. Do you even like martinis? Well, you get one anyway. It’s like alcoholic pickle juice. Soooo great.”

Despite what one might think, Cado was one of Pipers most genuine and treasured friends. They both were involved in a similar industry and while she obviously liked to do all the talking it almost made up for his silence. “Once I get my business situated I will hire you to play the events in a heartbeat. You music is just- so soothing. Even those stuffed-shirts my dad insists on hanging around would love you.”

She followed his gaze toward the band and admired it for a moment as well, only snapping out of the trance when he gestured toward one of the artic themed exhibits. “I know! Aren’t they cute? It explains why it’s so cold in here, but it does support the theme.”

Cado couldn't help but smile at Piper, Despite his lack of a voice.. she understood him well. He then thought about the idea of having a Martini, no he never had one before and he wasn't so sure how well he'd be after one...or three.. yea, Cado had a bit of a bad habit of drinking when he dared to venture out with Piper. But he always seemed to be the one in control when Piper got a little tipsy.

He then lifted his hands once he got Piper's full attention and began to sign, " I don't know about that. I am not sure if I can play well enough for your fathers goons... " He smiled jokingly.

Once their drinks are delivered, Piper instantly starts to indulge in her own. “Thank you, keep them coming please.” The blonde said with almost a sing-song voice as the waitress attempted to linger. Piper was slightly aggravated as she moved to touch her shoulder, but the young blonde was always once for attention. “Be a doll and could you go see if Elle is here? She’s my favorite bartender.” With a bat of her pretty eyelashes, the half-naked waitress quickly went to meet the blonde’s demands and started off toward the closest bar.

Piper rolled her eyes yet again before turning back to see Cado, who had been trying to get her attention. As he signed to her, she quickly insisted “Wait! Go slower; you know I am not very good at this.” Noting the signs, she took a moment to process what he said before she conjured her own reply. While she had taken up sign language a while ago, it still wasn’t her strong suit. She could pick out some of the words and typically lace them together, but a majority of the words usually slipped through the cracks. Thankfully, she did manage to obtain most of what he was saying.

She laughed for a moment before waving off his comment. “Oh please, don’t be silly.” She looked around for a moment as she took a sip of her drink. “Okay, is it just me or are people looking at me funny?”
