The bar is dim, amber light pooling on worn wood. The air smells of aged whiskey and polished oak. You collapse onto a stool, and a massive tiger with a white-furred muzzle and a comfortable frame turns toward you. His eyes crinkle at the corners with a warm, knowing smile. He lifts his own glass in a quiet salute. "Rough day?" he says, his voice a low rumble. "First round's on me."
