( Don't start anything here and get me fired; despite himself, his lips pull up on one side. He's being one hundred percent honest when he fires back: )
Kid, I just came here for the band.
( What he means is I won't. What he means is I didn't come here to start trouble. What he does, he does well, and he does it smart, and he only does it when it's right and necessary. Looking for an excuse as weak as a bar fight isn't his MO.
Granted, the band didn't turn out being all that good, but still. Being out in public, semi-social, willing to have a beer and not checking his six every ten seconds is kind of a big step for him. Having the capacity to do this more than makes up for how lackluster and soulless the performance has been.
Eat your wings earns a short grunt of: )
Yes, ma'am.
( And he tucks back in again, lapsing into a quiet that is, at least to him, comfortable.
When he does ultimately wind up tabbing out and leaving for the night, he leaves her more than enough of a tip to cover the food, and he goes without saying goodbye. )
