[color=silver]"Both my job and my powers are important... in a way."[/color] He said, taking another draw from his cigar and exhaling a large cloud of tobacco scented of smoke. [color=silver]"But neither are things I like to discuss out in the open. Especially with people I've just met. Pardon my brashness, but in my line of work, taking risks is looked down upon. Greatly."[/color] Bartholomew said, putting out his cigar in a nearby ashtray before chucking it into a bin a couple of feet to his left. Taking another swig of his drink, Bartholomew was about to continue the conversation with Carmen, when a bald man with a brown beard, who was clad in a short blue jacket, jeans, and running shoes, strode into the bar. Standing there for a couple of seconds, and allowing his green colored eyes to roam from patron to patron, the man eventually let out a slight cough as he nonchalantly walked over to Bartholomew, leaned in closer to the left side of the his face, and whispered something into his ear before standing upright. Taking one last look at the patrons currently in the bar, the man calmly turned round towards the entrance and headed back outside, his form slowly disappearing into a large crowd of people at a nearby crossroad.

Bartholomew did his best to conceal his concerned expression as he pressed the glass to his lips one more time and took another swig, completely downing its contents in one go. Placing the glass down on the table with a disappointed sounding sigh, Bartholomew turned back to Carmen. [color=silver]"I do apologize for having to run on you like this, but something work related just came up, and I'm afraid that my presence is required immediately."[/color] Getting up, Durant quickly grabbed his cane as he left a twenty on the bar to pay for the drink, and bowed slightly to Carmen before tucking his cane back underneath his arm and striding out the door.
