The sort of general malaise that overtakes a man when he's given sick leave from active combat duty had overtaken Alexei, and his posture at the back corner table of Gambit's did nothing except make this obvious. He leaned heavily on the table, the tumbler of single malt scotch that sat beneath his slightly bowed head only half drank. A cursory review of the bar patrons told him that so far, no one had arrived who could lift him out of his miasma of apathy.

Alexei almost started as he realized the offer was intended for him, and he raised his head to acknowledge the man. After a moment of silent consideration, he raised what was left of the tumbler and downed it in one long gulp. "I suppose I should, considering I'm taking up a table..."

With a sigh, and shiver to release the ache in his joints, Alebxei took the moment Ezrael had given him to mentally peruse his menu of drinks. Nothing too fruity or sweet would follow up the scotch well and he finally settled on a fine snifter of cognac. Perhaps the caramel-tinged quality liquor would up his spirits sufficiently to allow him to engage in some semblance of conversation properly. "Cognac please, and hold the ice."

The old soldier smiled back, realizing he had failed to answer the mans question. With a nod at the bottle he replied to him, "Alexei, Alex for short. And while Cognac is a love of mine I don't much think I'd enjoy being called by it." He returned Ezrael's grin and sat up a bit straighter.

Alexei's line of sight slowly trailed Ezrael as the bartender approached the attractive woman sitting at the bar. She seemed aloof, although his instincts told him she was observant at the least. His vision whipped back to the door as the two newcomers entered the bar. Words of their conversation reached his ear and he smiled at the seemingly domestic conversation. Something he hadn't shared with anyone in a long time.

Alexei allowed his gaze to return to Ezrael, listening with quiet interest to the offer he was seemingly about to make. The woman responded and he allowed her question to remain voiced, his own staying absent from the conversation for the time being. He sipped his cognac slowly by way of response.

Having lost himself in reverie he looks up at the other two, managing to have his brain reconcile their words with coherent thought. "An intriguing offer but unfortunately I must depart. My bozz-lady calls me to heed the siren song of war, and it isn't a call I can idly disregard. Thank you for your time and the drink."
