"You're here early."
Serey staggered behind the bar, his exclusive spot. Bottles clinked against each other, producing a crisp sound. Serey mixed a drink for himself and downed it in one gulp.
If Serey was an engine, then alcohol was his fuel.
Once the drink was consumed, he seemed entirely alive, filled with energy. He stepped onto the bar with one foot and leapt onto the table in front of Bologue, then slipped into the seat like a fish, casually resting his hand on Bologue's shoulder.
Serey put on a knowing 'big brother' expression, his voice carrying a strange magnetism.
"Encountered some trouble?"
Bologue glanced at Serey in disgust, saying nothing.
"Alright, alright," Serey sat up straight, returning to normal, "I heard from Palmer that you became a team leader, even if just temporarily."
Bologue was slightly surprised, "He's been here?"
