Sure, it may seem cool and all now, but situations can get sticky and ugly. You have be sure you can remain professional at all times. Except, of course, if a customer is being a jackass." </strong></em>There was a sly glint in his amber hues as he finished off his warning, his signature smirk beginning to tug once more at the corners of his lips. </p>
<p>When Laine mentioned his aura, it pained him to fight back the impish grin that threatened to stretch across his face. <em>Classic Laine, </em>he thought to himself--she really hadn't changed one bit. <em><strong>"Well, I'm glad to hear that," </strong></em>he said with a smile and a nod. When she mentioned her sister, a smirk pulled at the corners of his lips. From what Laine said, Charlie was doing good. He always knew that she was incredibly smart, so it was no surprise to hear that she'd found work as an agent. He made a mental note to look her up, and see exactly was the elder of the two sisters were up to. He shook his head at her request, a friendly smile upon his lips. <em><strong>"Don't worry, I'm not the type of boss to make house calls," </strong></em>he assured. <em><strong>"Your secret is safe with me--all she'll know is that you're a clueless bartender that hasn't realised where she's working." </strong></em>He nodded at her assurances once more, letting her know with that simple gesture that he trusted her.</p>
<p>Once he'd said that she was hired, he couldn't hep but grin at her excitement, his smile matching hers. Rapid-fire questions came his way, which he did expect, to which he leaned back in his seat, his demeanour cool and collected. <em><strong>"On normal nights, all-black attire is the dress code. Think cocktail, or smart casual?" </strong></em>he tried to describe. <em><strong>"Whatever you'd use for a night out," </strong></em>he finally summarise. <em><strong>"But on event nights," </strong></em>Sirius continued, <em><strong>"think rave-wear. Have fun with neons, LED lights, glitter--but I'll give you a wristband to show that you're staff." </strong></em></p>

He didn't need to look at it now, for there was nothing more of use printed on the stark-white paper. His full attention was now on Laine, taking in her every word as she responded to the terms of working in a place such as his establishment. <strong>"No need to call me sir, Laine," </strong>he said with a wave of his hand. <strong>"We're all rather informal here. The people here call me Sirius, Siri, or Thell---a shortened version of my middle name, Othello," </strong>he mused. <strong>"I've even just been addressed with a nod and a rather irritated 'you' from one of my barmaids, so you can guess the usual vibe around here from that."</strong></p>
<p>Her reaction to the illegal activities conducted at The Siren's Cove wasn't one of hesitation and second-thought---on the contrary, it seemed to make her even more eager to be working with him. Telling someone that they'd have to deal with bribing police officers and closing eyes to smuggling deals usually didn't result with a sparkle in their eyes as they leaned forward, even more reeled in at the prospect. But that was the only way he could define how Laine looked upon hearing all that information, and the Greek Celestial couldn't help but let his grin mould into a rather amused smirk. <strong>"You won't get caught, so there's no need to know any 'secret rights,"' </strong>he informed her, using air quotes with his fingers for the last two words. <strong>"The bouncers will handle any eager cops, and if any undercover idiot tries anything funny with you, just call over one of them to...have a little talk." </strong>The corners of his lips twitched, and his amber hues sparkled with a sort of malicious amusement.</p>
<p>His tongue swiped his slightly-chapped lips as he sat up in his seat, nodding as Laine spoke. <strong>"Well, not being a snitch is a trait that's rather important here," </strong>he teased lightly. At the mention of Charlie, he couldn't help the smile from twitching at his lips. That would mean that the elder of the two was in Evermore too, and therefore increasing his chances of running into her. <strong>"Would your sister have a problem with you working here?" </strong>he asked, tilting his head to a side as he raised an eyebrow in question. He then shrugged his shoulders cooly, his features returning to their neutral state. <strong>"As long as you don't mention anything to anyone, your sister should not be able to find out. Only I know exactly how much everyone is involved in things here, so there's no one who can leak things out," </strong>Sirius assured.</p>

He thought that she had quite a bit of gusto, and really did seem eager. The fact that she was willingly to call out people on their behaviour was exactly what he wanted from his bartenders---he didn't want people that would let customers walk all over them just to get a tip. His bartenders needed a backbone, and be confident enough to stand up for themselves. <strong>"Well, feel free to curse out whomever does anything like that here--your job will be safe, i assure you," </strong>he chuckled softly, his eyes still focussed on the paper gently grasped between his fingers. </p>
<p>He looked up through his lashes a moment later, pursing his lips as he set Laine's resume on his desk. He leaned back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other as he linked his fingers across his chest. <strong>"Well, Miss Kinzle, I would love to hire you, but there are a few things you'll need to be aware of," </strong>he started, raising an eyebrow slightly at the brunette. <strong>"First of all, you'll have to come at least five nights out of seven this week so we can train you to deal with orders coming in quickly, as well as how to work behind the bar---considering you've never worked as a bartender before. After that period of time, we'll see how you do during an event we're holding the next week, and we do well, you'll get to choose how many nights you want to work here." </strong>He paused for a moment, reading Laine's expression before he continued.</p>

Bribing the cops is the norm here, but we have terms of agreement with them that you will have to get somewhat familiar with. Now, as a bartender you will not be directly involved with any of the ongoings, but I find it to be fair that you have a head's up on what you're getting involved with here." </strong>Taking another breath, the Celestial pushed himself forwards to fold his arms on his desk, leaning forward. <strong>"I'm willing to take a chance on you, Laine, and if you're willing to work here despite whatever underground operations I run here, I think that you'll be a great fit here at <em>The Siren's Cove.</em></strong><em> </em><strong>But, you must be willing to work hard and on your feet. So, what do I say?" </strong>he concluded, a smirk toying at the corners of his lips once more. <strong>"I say welcome to the team."</strong></p>
