Looking for the Weak Link

[Alex]

Giordano smiled as the lad lost a bit of his control, his emotions tipped into something he could easily use with out even thinking about it. However he did wince at the grip the man had on his hand. A strong fella, probably one reason Aria liked him. But this new feeling, the sadness in him, it was going to be a join to play with. "Careful now, lets not break this old man." He was sure to include the smile that said it was a joke.

His grip loosened but Giordano used the lingering touch to share a few more moments of sadness, depression and everything that would make a man want to drink. A drink might loosen his lips a little more, might spill far more than he was now. He had a plan of action. But Giordano knew it was more than just the emotions he would need.

He'd asked specifically about his lost child, trying to reconnect with her. He lied with a frown on his face, the sadness in his voice, the same sadness that radiated from his body, where ever this man would touch while he was doing his work. "Sadly, her mother took her from me. I never got to know her. I hope this will ease the transition. Show some compassion for what she's been through. I only want to make things right."

Giordano told a few more sad stories and continued with the treatment he's started.
