Pyotr smiled at Ascendancy's response and filled his glass and then did the same for all of the others at the table. Pyotr knew of all the people at the table. One of the advantages of having only one table and having that table set up with a particular set of people is that their names were easier to memorize. Most of the guests accepted the wine with enthusiasm, but Commander Vellas politely declined. Marcus was also at the table and Pyotr handled it with the professionalism he was used to. He had agreed that in public, he would not reveal their friendship.
Having served the table, Pyotr retreated to his post. He allowed his gaze to wander, but kept most of his attention on the table, just in case any of the guests wanted anything. He saw Marcus signal and began to move towards the table, but then noticed another waiter, Anthony, moving as well.
This is my night and he better not ruin it!
Suddenly, Marcus was covered in water. Pyotr should have been embarrassed, but it wasn't his fault. Instead he was angry. It was his table and he had no right to interfere. This whole situation would have been avoided. Even his anger cooled down momentarily; he had been in this situation many times and could sympathize.
Pyotr now had a job to do. He wanted to glare at Anthony, but it wouldn't be professional to embarrass the man further than he already was. It was, however, Pyotr's duty to report the incident to his supervisor.
"Ascendancy, I can only offer my sincerest apologies for this interruption. I will take care of this right away,"
Pyotr's voice remained calm and he turned towards Marcus. "Sir, I apologize for this unfortunate accident. Please come with me and we'll get this taken care of."
Pyotr followed Marcus for a few moments before Marcus spoke, "Thank you, but I can take care of it.
Marcus's voice lowered to whisper, "Go back. Watch for it. Watch Vellas' reaction."
Pyotr headed back as instructed, keeping in mind that he would have to report the incident to his supervisor. Anthony had finished cleaning up and things appeared to be normal at the table once more. Conversation had started back up again. Pyotr, once more at his post, waited for Marcus to do his work.
