The thing about a cross bones battle-especially when it was not an impromptu thing-was that it did not just begin and end with a fight. Just as the consiglieres met to discuss the terms of the fight. The dons also had to have at least one last meeting.
It was a chance to size each other up. More often than not, a meeting was also very useful when it came to planning strategy against an opponent. How a person dressed, how they talked when they meant business often translated to how they fought.
Which was why Gio was currently getting ready to go meet his cousin. And with Elle's help, he was putting his battle armour on. A crisp white shirt, and a dark suit made to fit. Not just that, but the material was bullet proof. They might have just been going to talk, but Gio had to be ready for everything. He opted to go without a tie, there was no use wearing something that could easily be used to strangle him.
