[By the time Matt got to the bar she had indeed finished the beer she had initially bought for him. There's a new one though, sitting there at the spot across from her. Idly she ran her fingers over the lettering on the glass of her own, she won't see him enter because her back is to him.]

[He's breathless when he arrives, and he can feel the signs of a bruise budding around his left eye. Fortunately, his glasses mostly cover it (he hopes). He moves through the bar to their usual spot, smiling as he eases into the chair next to her.]

Fancy meeting you here.

[Karen perked up when Matt approached her, he looks a bit shaky. Which, before finding out about him, she would've dismissed. Now though? Knowing where he just was? It makes her stomach drops.]

You okay?

[trustinthedevil]

[The corners of his mouth turned up into a nonchalant smile and he shrugged.]

I've had a lot worse. It's nothing. Is there a drink for me or did I miss out?

[darkcxrners]

Mmm, well I did have the one I originally bought for you. Luckily I got you another one though.

[Which she nudges towards him. She's still concerned though, especially with the way he was quick to brush her off.

Yeah, she noticed the bruise.]

Do I even want to know what the other guy looks like?
