Thiago is drinking a a glass of water in a corner, watching all the people surrounded him.
He smiles ocassionally, and when pretty ladies reach to him, he just answers in monosyllables. His full atention is in the golden chains, diamond tiaras and colorful jewel rings used by men and women.
"Hey you... are you the guardian of this corner?" says a green eyes brunette, with a cup of wine in her left hand.
"Hello, miss...?" Thiago answers.
"Miss Klaychewaskim... my pleasure" the brunette extends her right hand. No ring, no chain, no nothing.
"Hello... Miss... It's a pleasure, in deed".
"So... what's the name of the guardian?" says Klaychewaskim.
But Thiago does not answer. His eyes are trapped in a blue gem necklace of a tall blonde lady.
"Hello?", Miss Klaycheswakim insists.
"Oh... right... I'm sorry... my name is Joseph Perez", says Thiago and he drinks the entire glass of water. "I'm sorry, I have to go".
He walks away from the corner, leaving Miss Klaycheswakim with a hard look at him. Thiago is in the beautiful blonde direction. She is standing alone next to the bar.
"Excuse me, my name is Kirk Sanchez, and I would like to know if you dance with me?", says Thiago with his biggest smile.
The blonde looks at him and smile back.
"Sorry. No ingles", she replies.
"Hmmm... Russian?", he insists.
"No, no, no... soy latina. Spanish! Español!", she laughs and starts a fast busload of words in Spanish.
Thiago barely nods, and keep smiling.
"Sí... sí..." he says to all the words that she is saying. He turns around and see two men back to back. He looks at the latina and she is explaying something about a car crash (maybe), her attention is more on her story than in Thiago.
Thiago take a step back, take the butt of one of the man and goes back in front of the blonde.
The man turns and look to the other.
"What do you think are you doing?" and hits the guy. The other man doesn't know whats going on, so kicks back. All the people gather around the fighters.
Even the blonde walks to the center of the circle to see what is going on.
The fighters are separate by a bunch of people. The latina laughs about the incident, then check her neck.
The necklace is gone... also Thiago.
