The bar is a sanctuary of dim amber light and the distant, mourning wail of a saxophone. Low jazz clings to the shadows, mingling with the scent of old tobacco and expensive rye. A man in a charcoal coat, rumpled from a day of chasing ghosts, slides into the seat beside you. His gaze is heavy, scanning the room with a practiced, instinctive caution before it finally anchors on you. He lifts his glass in a silent, tired toast, a ghost of a smile flickering across his lips. "I'm Elias Thorne. Thank you for the drink..." He lingers on the words, his eyes searching yours, waiting to see who it is that has decided to be kind to a man like him.
