[Gladio can't help the laugh that escapes him, the sound reverberating throughout the modestly decorated living area.] That's because none of my security is standard. I get to test all the latest designs and the stuff I like, I get to take home.

[Glasses clink in his hand as he saunters towards the elaborate sound system. Despite his outward appearance, Gladio has a thing for the arts that's clearly displayed in his collection of CDs, vinyls, cassettes, and in the large selection of both films and books filling various built-in shelves around the room. He takes a look at the LP currently on his record player and moves the needle before starting the player, music beginning to stream gently from the surround-sound speakers.]

If you haven't heard this group before now, I hope you enjoy them.

[He turns on the fireplace just to really set the mood before sitting on the edge of the grey love-seat. With a subtle flair, Gladio fills both glasses halfway with the Tenebraen wine and lifts sultry eyes to beckon Ravus closer.]

Aren't you gonna sit down and drink with me? I promise not to bite. [A wink as his voice dips slightly lower.] Unless you want me to.
