Malik was slightly confused. Had he said something funny? The man didn't look like he was going to get violent thought so he decided the laugh was a good sign. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance then, Tom. You're the first person I've come into contact with myself, I'm glad to see civility is still being practiced despite everything."

The man was right, though. The sun was practically down and he would hate to abandon the buck after all the trouble he had to get it. If the man was offering a place to stay it would be rude to decline. It'd also be nice to be around another person for once. "That seems more than fair. Thank you for the hospitality." He said and began dragging the buck into the bar.
