Mateo
"No need for that - I had a wonderful time," Mateo says with a smile half hidden by another generous sip from his drink (he needs to get back to a merry buzz at the least, else he might get sober enough to get hungover). "And you are quite correct - though in my family's defence, we were not the only ones in attendance. And we were not the only ones causing trouble, either." Thank the gods for Torchline, right?
Given that Mateo is a flirt and a wildcard, of course he zones in on Koa's discomfort, from his expression to his tone of voice, and there's a shit-eating grin on his face this time as he turns to behold his friend properly. "She is fantastic," he says. "I believe that taking over the bar will be the making of her. Would you like me to pass on your congratulations?"

I'm a scholar and a gentleman
And I don't usually fall when I try to stand
