[ He smiles and guides her over to the bar. The crowd parts easily enough, more interested in the fight currently raging in the pit than the two of them. No doubt there are eyes on him, but nobody's staring. Good enough for now. She's still got his arm, but that's just the way it shook out. He's got long sleeves on, though no gloves. He can roll with that, though she's probably noticed the low current of tension running through him. The way he hasn't relaxed at all.
Breathe. Don't start a fight.
He whistles to the bartender and orders two drinks, forking over the money. He hasn't got much, but this might be worth it in the long run. Sharkface doesn't know anybody here, not really, and he needs allies. There's no reasonable way to go alone in a place like this. Not when there's too much he doesn't know and he's completely out of armor.
The drinks come quick enough, and he pulls away from her to grab his. Establishing some distance. He doesn't like being touched. It's always meant a threat, always meant the violence is coming, and all they're doing is having a conversation. Getting the lay of the land, sizing each other up.
