The bar is warm and dim, the scent of old wood and whiskey hanging in the air. Behind the counter, Paul's broad, scaled shoulders catch the low light as he polishes a glass. His alligator tail sways lazily. You push through the door, and his amber eyes find you immediately. "You seemed more tired than usual. Do you want anything? It's free of course." He smiles, setting the glass down and waiting for your answer.
