[OTA|MW] Little lies and little choices; all of it’s a game.

May 28, 2011 13:30

Neal Caffrey is lounging on a stool in a high-class bar, wearing a clearly new, clearly tailored suit and a trilby cocked down over one eye. His trench coat is still damp from the rain and slung over the bar with a kind of possessive self-assurance. This is his comfort zone. It's like breathing again after being underwater for long enough to nearly ( Read more... )

Tim shrugs out of his jacket and folds it neatly over his arm before heading over the the bar to take a seat. He nods politely at the guy on the next seat and orders his own drink--he'll be working on it all night, but bars are good places to gather information, and...

He'd told Cissie he'd meet her here.

Neal nods in return, giving the newcomer a casual once-over. Young, legally too young to drink in the US, Neal's guessing, which means that rule doesn't apply or the kid has a good ID. He drains the last of the wine in his glass and pushes it back across the counter, nodding to the bartender.

"I'll try the 2007 James Berry Paso Robles, please." He half-turns to look at Tim again. "Let me guess."

He makes a show of considering the younger man. "Young financier? Whizz kid with a big inheritance?"

Tim's eyebrows go up and he regards the other man thoughtfully. "The latter, actually. Very good." He gives him a polite smile. "Have we met?"

He takes a moment to savor his fresh glass, inspecting the color and taking a casual sniff before sipping at it. "Don't believe so. I'm... new to town. Nick."

Neal sets the glass down and offers his hand to shake. "Nick Halden."

Tim takes the offered hand in a firm handshake. "Tim Drake. WHat's your business in town, Mr. Halden?"

"I'm an art appraiser," he says, and grins. "I do some private work, and occasionally I help galleries find new pieces."

Or helps them make room for new pieces. Either-or.

Tim gives him a thoughtful look. There's... a little more to that than Nick is saying, and he can tell, but... there's no real reason to be suspicious, and he's not working right now anyway--he's waiting for his date.

"And how is the art business?"
