Albino skipped down the road whistling as he headed towards the Phoenix Rising HQ. He was in a brilliant mood and today was a day of celebration. As he walked through the streets of South Philadelphia holding 2 boxes in his arms, he nodded at locals greeting him as he passed. He approached the entrance of the HQ and looked up at the beautiful sight that had been built and strengthened over the last few weeks.

Albino made his way through the HQ, still with a large grin on his face. He neared the office of Don TonyCapazzo greeting the rest of his family as he passed them. Upon arriving at Tony's door, he tapped his hand against the door 3 times and waited for a response. A muffled "Yes?" was heard from behind the door which he then opened to reveal the face of Tony sat behind a large wooden desk.

Albino broke straight into conversation as he enterred the room, "Don Tony! Happy birthday!" - he smiled gleefully.
Walking over to the desk, he held the two boxes out in front of him to gesture an offering. Placing them in front of his Boss, he said "I bought you a little something for your birthday. It's not much, but I'm hoping you will like them!"

Albino took the smaller box from the top and placed it on the desk. Setting his focus on the larger and deeper cardboard box, he pulled the top off and his hands disappeared inside. As he pulled them out, they reappeared to reveal the shiniest shoe you'd ever imagined. Complimented with white spats and a brown undersole, the laces were beautifully threaded and un-knotted ready for the recipient. As Albino held the shoe out in front of him, he questioned Tony, "What do you think?" He sooner interrupted himself, "Oh.. Before you answer!" - He placed the shoe back with it's matching other and proceeded to pick up the second box.

As he rattled his way inside the box, quite small in comparison to the first, he pulled out a metallic object. The light reflected from the shiny surface. He turned the object around to reveal the letters "P" and "R" encrusted on the front in sparkling golden crystals. The object was a small hip-flask, "PR" obviously standing for Phoenix Rising, the family Tony had worked so hard to successfully build and lead.

"I wanted to say Happy Birthday and thought these gifts were something you'd appreciate - and definitely something you deserved..." Albino looked at Tony waiting in anticipation for his reaction, hoping he was pleased with his birthday gifts.

Tony Capazzo sat behind his desk at Phoenix Rising Headquarters, although it was his birthday in reality there were no actual dayoffs in this life. He rustled through some financial papers and studied them. He smiled as he went over the month's financial reports of his family.

"Wonderful."

He smiled as he reached for a cigar. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Tony placed his cigar down on the desk.

"Yes?"

Don Capazzo uttered as the door opened at it was Albino coming to give happy birthday greetings. Albino had two boxes with him, no doubt presents for the boss, he placed them on the table and explained to Tony it was for him. It was a mint pair of shoes. It indeed was very nice and something Tony would definitely wear. Before he could thank Albino, Albino quickly picked up the second box.

Albino opened the box and out came a metallic looking object. Tony tried to figure out what it was but it didn't become clear until it was fully unboxed. Albino showed a flask and on the front encrusted were the letters 'P' and 'R'. Tony's eyes lit up as he had never seen a flask quite like this one. It definitely matched the style of the young Don. He knew the letters were no doubt the name of his family, the gift was a sentimental one and he nodded. He took the flask and smiled, he looked at it then looked up at Albino.

"Thank you for this Albino, for both of these gifts. I appreciate it and will surely put both of these fine gifts to use."

Tony reached for the flask and and exited his office, he came back a few moments later with a bottle of whiskey and a glass. Tony began to pour some of the whiskey in the glass and set it in front of Albino. He then poured whiskey into the flask being careful not to make it overflow. Once he was finished Tony placed the whiskey on the counter behind him. He raised his new flask and nodded at Albino then looked at the glass. It was a gesture from the boss.

Tony raised the flask and smiled.

"Salud."

With that he took a swig off the flask and let out a relaxed sigh, he paused momentarily then smiled.

"Perfect fit."

Albino picks the glass up from the table and steps forward towards his boss. Raising his glass in the air, he repeats "Salut."

He downs the whisky and looks at Tony. As the drink works it's way through his body, warming his chest and stomach, he smiles, pleased Tony likes his gifts. 

He places the empty glass on the desk and begins to speak, "You're busy. I'll let you get on. Remember - drinks are on me, later!"

Albino steps forward, placing his arms tightly around Tony and patting him on the back before making his way out of the office.
