[ Neal is a certified expert in reading people and Cable's been no exception. They're both pretty observant and it isn't as if it's any surprise to find Cable bantering back. Out on the streets the guy's unimpeachable, but when he's got his guard down there's a playfulness that's ridiculously charming. It's enough that Neal thinks maybe he might be rivaled at times were Cable to put some serious effort into his game.
Stealing back the wine, Neal sips as he rolls around the other man, their bodies brushing far more than necessary as Neal comes to a rest on the opposite side. He fishes for the salt and dumps a heavy amount into the pasta water. ]
Un lupo di mare. Can't forget the salt.
[ A little Italian often drives the ladies wild, but he can't imagine it does much for Cable. Still, it was more for Neal, who delights in combining wittiness with his polyglottal ways. "The wolf of the sea" sounds poetic, but it's just as easily translated to "salty sea dog" which feels very Cable as well. ]
One day I'd like to get some work overseas. You, me, Sicily~
