"A selection of your best wine please, Bartender" replied [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/a/a8/Tseng_Final_Fantasy_VII_Remake_render.png] Lucas [/URL].  "The Boss would like to celebrate, though food can be for later.  This is my contact details should this establishment need anything".  Lucas then handed the bartender a business card.  Of course it was for a shell company, but that was to be expected.   

Balthazar gave a nod to the bartender and the girl who ordered chilli cheese fries.  There was the smallest hint of curiosity about how good they actually were.  Not to eat of course - but to sprinkle in a person's eyes.  Got to keep innovation going!  Ah, perhaps he was getting too excited at the phone call he had just received.  His rival had been eliminated and all evidence destroyed.  He now owned the entire region down south.  

Another customer came in - one who seemed to had just gotten out of a rough fight.  She looked worse for wear and Balthazar wondered if she would drop dead at any moment.  The smoke from her cigarette flew his way... it was a warm and comforting scent.  The girl with the lighter seemed to want to keep to herself, which was absolutely fine.  Most avoided people like him.  He would not meddle in their affairs if they did not meddle with his.

New customer (?).  Ears.  Tail.  Orange fur.  25cm tall.  [url=https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Orange-tabby-cat-sleeping-with-eyes-closed.jpg]Meows[/url].  The kitty slipped in through a slightly open door and pitter pattered across the floor.  It was raining outside and it felt that this place was safe.  Also, it smelled food.  Were animals welcomed here?  Last time it tried to enter a warm place, it was promptly picked up and thrown out.  The ginger coloured kitty decided to not jump onto the tables and instead weaved around the bar stools.  It came to the feet of the bartender.  It let out the quietest of meows.  It didn't seem to have a collar, though it did look healthy and clean.
