Glass mugs collide like fists. Liquids range in color from golden brown to dark hazel, splashes of it falling on wood and cloth. Every seat is filled, and every body, and every gullet, is warm. Johnny isn’t a trainer in this moment, but a trader--of words, looks, in-jokes and memories--reminiscence with his former poke-mart co-workers is turning out to be the most pleasant of distractions, and the power of majority rule deems him the next one to fetch the whole of their drinks. He’s happy to be the bearer of good things.
His stride breaks smoke, and turns a few heads. The atmosphere is thick with familiar variety. Flirting, fighting, and drunken rigamarole. Johnny raises a hand to catch the bartender’s attention as he steps to the counter. ”Another round for the table in the back.”
Plenty of patrons catch the hero’s eye, but only one can be nearest to him. Proximity made for a good enough reason as any to speak to a person. Visible lack of contentment made for another. Johnny looks to the red-headed soul practicing as much, and casually adds more to his original order. ”And the next of whatever works for my friend here is on me…” He turns his attention to the young man, finally speaking to him directly. ”You look like you could use a drink. No offense.”
