Tonight, Hunter is sitting on a bar stool in one of the Forum's bars in the commercial district, nursing his third beer of the evening.

The tattooed-covered young man is wearing a light gray tuxedo, so either he has been (or is going) to a semi-formal event. There are no clues to what kind of event that might be.

Right now, Hunter is stoic and quiet, as he finishes the beer. Looking around the bar, he spots a pool table. And, after ordering another beer, Hunter heads over to stake his claim at the table. He finds a place to hang up his coat, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt to reveal the tattoos that cover his arms.

Then he starts playing pool by himself. It really seems like the solo game is meant to be a distraction, doesn't it?

"Ha!" Schön laughs. "Be careful with the word 'anything,' dear Hunter. It may get you into trouble one day." Bending down, he takes careful aim and skips the cue ball over one of Hunter's to sink one of his own.

"Feeling flirtatious, are we? That's a lift in the spirit." Oh, but Schön, trying that trick again ends in a rather graceful scratch. Hunter's turn.

"Impressive," Schön observes. "People rarely manage that from an evening spent in a seedy bar."

"You are feeling better. Perhaps I should check the bar for our Mr. Serling," Schön teases, taking another shot. No good--the balls clatter around, but nothing sinks. "Tsk."

"I'm a magical broker of bargains, tripping on fairy godparent impulses. The episode practically writes itself," he points out. "Bravo, well done."

"A generous offer, and I thank you for it even as I accept."

Schön laughs. "If I'm the caliber of man you bring home from this establishment, you might want a word with the manager."

Hunter is a gentleman. Perhaps Schön can regale him with tales of old customs of hospitality.

Schön sets aside his cue, accepting the offered arm and holding out his free hand to catch the cane that comes soaring to it. "How gallant."

[Indeed. Thanks for the scene.]
