Nathan's standing behind the bar, sleeves of his white shirt rolled down and buttoned at the wrists, wiping down a glass as he surveys the room. It's a busy night, as usual, but at the moment no one's in need of a refill, so he's able to take a moment to listen, really listen, to Brendon's routine. He laughs along with the crowd when Brendon hits the punchline with just the right note. Looks like the time John took to help him out is paying off.

Placing the clean glass with the rest, he hangs the towel on its designated rack and wipes his hands on the apron he wears to protect his trousers before pulling his cigarettes out of his shirt pocket and tapping one out of the packet.

It's late.

It's so late, it probably classes as early in most people's lives. John's life isn't like most people's, and he's just had a very forceful reminder of that.

It's a trade he makes. Willingly. Protection and security for his talent to entertain, his ability to charm, his quick wits.

His body.

It's his body that's been on loan this evening. Someone Mr. Gill can't afford to offend. Needs to please. Someone who doesn't have any complex or even particularly unpleasant demands, and physically, it's no trouble for John to accommodate him. Emotionally, it adds another smut to the tarnish coating what used to be his idealism. Long lost, but he's still in the showers behind the dressing rooms, hoping the rapidly cooling dribble of water is going to be enough to clean off the physical effects.

Anything else is three Hail Marys and more time on sore knees.
