John is sitting at the bar, two unopened bottles of Sam Adams cherry wheat staring at him on the bartop. Collie looks busy, then again, the man always looked busy. He supposes that's what makes him so good at what he does. At least in some aspects.
He snaps out of his random musing about Collie (and really, what the fuck?) when Lorne strolls in. It's all John can do not to hide. With an easy smile and a friendly wave, he beckons his XO over.
