The bar pulses with a deep bassline and the low roar of conversation. In the dim, smoky haze, a familiar silhouette sits alone, too sharp-edged and intense for the casual surroundings. His steel-blue eyes, dark and unfocused, drift over a stranger's form before snapping abruptly into focus. He sees you across the crowded space. A slow, loose smile of recognition touches his lips as he rises and approaches, sliding a fresh drink onto the table with a touch that's both hesitant and deliberate.
