[ Another kind stranger. Seth wondered when the other shoe would drop in Eudio. Mercy seemed genuine and he wasn't used to that. Someone who didn't dance around a subject? Sure. Looking out for him at hello? No. That just didn't happen for him other than Kate.
Sonja had briefly made him a believer but he could always feel something wasn't right. His spidey sense didn't ring there with Mercy. Seth took a long, cleansing breath and held the door as she walked through. ]
I blame life circumstances.
[ Mention of her husband put him further at ease. They were just people of the opposite sex having a drink, nothing for him to guilt about. He would still be pissed if Kate did the very same thing but wouldn't put any thought into that now. ]
Sensei? What kind?
[ Enough kung fu flicks as a kid, Seth was fascinated with martial arts though never saw himself fighting in a disciplined style. He was a brawler by nature and would remain that way until the day he died. What he couldn't handle with his strength, he was smart enough to pull a gun out first or con his way out of the trouble. So far, anyway.
They sat at a table that suited them both. He called out a drink order to the bartender who asked as they passed by. ]
You still wanted to try the whiskey, right?
[ Seth confirmed after ordering in typical fashion for him. Whiskey wasn't the bourbon he ordered but in the same family. Hopefully he didn't fully confuse Mercy. ]
