When they got to the club, it was in time enough for Jake and Regulus not to miss Patrick's entrance. Jake had given Marcus a handshake and introduced Regulus to the older wizard.
"Patrick's going to be delighted and embarrassed by all of this. It's really too much, Marcus," Jake had told the wizard, but there hadn't been time for Marcus to respond as he was told that Patrick was approaching.
"You know me; I never do anything half-arse. Regulus, I would be very interested in having a conversation with you at some point. You both enjoy your evening," Marcus had told the two men before heading off and leaving them behind.
