Describe a chance encounter that changed your life
"He's asking for it," Russel says with a quick, almost disinterested, glance at the pub brawl in progress.
"Perhaps - " he murmurs. Because it does look an awful lot like the kid's trying to get himself killed, but Patrick's not quite sure if that is what he's asking for.
"Stay out of it," his mate warns him as he notices the look that crosses Patrick's face. "It's none of your business."
Patrick smirks as he spots the knife and rises from his chair without hesitation. "Reckon it's about time I make it mine then."

"Brendan," the kid says in a quiet but clear voice when, after a beer or two, Patrick decides to ask him for his name.
"So, Brendan," Russel drawls, sarcasm dropping from his every word. "What are you going to do now that your knight in shining armour here ruined your plans for the evening?"
"He's coming home with me," Patrick says before Brendan even has a chance to answer Russel's question. Answering the incredulous look Russel gives him with a glare and a shrug, Patrick adds, "Now be a good mate and go pick up the tab, eh?"
