"Ohmygoodness, Miss Yanfei!" "...!"

Surprise and joy comes from the bots in equal measure- with Giacomo rushing forward so quickly he nearly trips over his own feet, more or less throwing himself into the arms of Yanfei and squeezing her in a tight hug. Though perhaps a bit more hesitant towards the idea of physical touch, Rigatello nonetheless leans into it as well- settling metal claws carefully on the shorter twos heads in an awkward little hunched-up bear hug.

"An entire glass to myself? Why -- However can I repay you!"

Once upon a time, simply being in the presence of the cavalry captain would have sent Giacomo into a spiral of fear and anxiety -- as would being in the presence of any knight, really. Authority tended to be dangerous company, when one was a fugitive from another land. Of course, that wasn't to say that Giacomo was completely comfortable with the man. There was still a thrum of anxiety, an on-edge vibration that had him tap tap tapping the counter to an inaudible beat.

"Busy? Why, whenever am I not! Times like this are mere moments of reprieve in my grand debut tour of the world, after all. Places to be, people to see-" and more importantly, people to avoid.
