Marcelo did look surprised to be hugged. He hadn't been sure his Brazilian hospitality had made any inroads. Not that he didn't return the hug. That would have been plain rude.

He looked less surprised at the spontaneous kiss from his wife, however.

"This looks like it could rivals ones at home, Brooke. Thank you." He grinned as he slipped his arm around Stephanie's waist. "Anything you want,querida?"

He glanced toward the bar and did a doubletake. Did the bartender only have four fingers?

Then there was a dapper Alexander. Marcelo gave him a nod. "Good evening, Alexander. Thank you. Our time in Brazil was... relaxing and occasionally exhausting at the same time. A very good time." Him exhausting more than Stephanie.
