At another table another man is working with a console, several bits of paper and several datatabs at once. Plumes of smoke rise from his mouth as he half mutters to himself whilst smoking, typing, doodling and occasionally looking around the room.
On noticing the couple talking the frenetic activity pauses to highlight a momentarily raised eyebrow. Then, as if roused from a light sleep, he returns to what he was doing before.
After a short time he catches the attention of a passing waitress and orders a drink. After another short time all of the paperwork, hardware, cigarettes, and drink are all cleared away and he happily swings on his chair, arms folded behind his head, waiting patiently.
