Blank didn't speak when his new drinking buddy spoke. He paid no mind to the tone of his voice. How could Blank not see the distrust in the Brit's face. Blank made no mind of it. They barely knee each other.
Blank slouched down at that comment. He was unsure how to answer it.
"No. She shouldn't be. I know that. I'm not sure what you have heard about it. But, that's something beyond any of us." Blank's expression changed when he witnessed his new ally down his drink. Glad that he drank it, Blank did the same with his glass.
"Why? Well, I want to know about this place. I haven't been here that long. Wait.. How rude of me. My name is Blank.." He stood from his stool and extended his hand.
