Bas sat there, the power humming in the background, painting each face as clearly as if they were out in the noon-day sun. There was a definite tension in the air. Little shifting of bodies, looks and such. For a moment, he felt as if he was surrounded by an enemy crew, waiting for the energy to ratchet up and then explode. He flexed his hold on the power and felt a measure of peace.
At wallet-guy's use of his name- though said in a way that would usually earn a fist in his eye- his eyes narrowed. He remembered now. The GUM, when he was shopping for his platinum suit. And when he first began to feel like he was being followed.
He gave the man a hard look. "Quite a coincidence, you being there and then being here."
His voice became softer. "Almost unbelievable"
The power writhed behind him and he soothed it, a snake coiled around his arm.
His eyes went around the table, momentarily resting on the guy who'd talked to Tatyana, but he spoke to wallet. "Friends of yours?"
