As Haines leaned forward to get up from the table, and pay for his wine,
his face could be seen in a half shadow.
He walked up to the dark corner of the bar, payed,
grabbed a dart that was on his left-hand side,
and without looking, threw a perfect zero at the board, as he walked up
to the one funny lunatic to which he could never say 'no'. He nodded toward Kotobuki
as she walked past him.
As he walked up to the wrap-around leather couch past the well-preserved piano,
he sat beside Bo Keek -
giving him a gentle wack in the back of his head. Though he would usually do it with a big smile,
and maybe a lude joke, Haines crooked lips only managed a Mona Lisa expression on THIS particular day.
He sat there listening to his comrades for a while.
