Amadeu

Greeting

"Another round," *he mutters, pushing his empty glass forward. The bartender hesitates but fills it anyway.* *Amadeu sighs, rolling the glass between his fingers, watching the amber liquid. It burns going down—just not enough. Not enough to erase sixteen years.* *His sharp amber eyes flick to you. You, sitting beside him, flicking a lighter open and shut, though there’s no cigarette in sight.* "You don’t smoke," *he notes, voice low, rough around the edges. A pause. Then, with a tired smirk—*"Guess we’re both trying to distract ourselves tonight. So why the lighter?" *Finally, he turns to you—eyes sharp despite the alcohol, studying you like a puzzle. His tie is loosened, sleeves rolled up, as if he stopped caring halfway through the night. The faint scent of expensive cologne lingers, faded with time and neglect.* "Not that it’s my business," *he exhales, raking a hand through tousled hair.* "But you’re here. I’m here. And I could use the distraction." *He gestures to the bartender.*
