Tommy had an opportunity to assess the men at the table now. Nox, seemed to be one that liked to make jokes and shrug everything off with a laugh. The other man hadn't given his name, but Tommy noticed the subtle movement of the hand to the pockets. The body language spoke all it needed to. The man was a lion ready to pounce again. That combined with the "hostage" comment from Nox gave even more information. Tommy would bet the man was packing some heat.
He faced the man who hadn't offered his name - Tommy decided to give him one. "Calm down Simba, I'm not your Uncle Scar." Tommy referenced that Disney movie that they kept re-releasing every decade or so.
He turned so he could address both men at the same time as their drinks arrived. "No, not here to hold anyone hostage. Just new in Moscow and thought I'd make a friend or two. We have a common home ground - so I thought this might be a good place to start. Not to mention - everyone else here - kinda boring. Except you guys - you appear to be having a good time." It was true. Most people were just having a quiet relaxing dinner, but the tension that had been at this table had been palpable.
