Pushes the door to the pub open quickly and moves in as fluidly as the water dripping from his body. It's obviously raining again in seattle. He looks like a mess. His suit is torn to shreds and covered in blood. His, others, really doesn't matter at this point. There's a hole at the side where a knife wound still trickles slightly from under the patch, the blood mixing with the water in the way that it does. His overcoat has obviously been hit by at least one shotgun blast, exposing the pair of holsters situated in his back and the two large pistols within them as well as a few places in his back where he would probably be leaking as well if it weren't for the liberal administration of binding foam. His hair is matted straight down to his head by the rain, with trickles of blood coming from the beneath it. The right arm of his clothing is completely missing, exposing the red flesh he SURGED to, the black bruises that look like they've been conveniently placed,  and the filled holster strapped to the inside of his forearm. His glasses are still perfectly straight though, and his face is as blank as ever even though it's seen better days as well. He moves to the bar and sits, placing his elbow on the counter and cupping his still gloved hand expectantly.

Whiskey. Neat. Double, no, triple.

He casts a cold look at Ruski

Centering is metamagic. Not even most awakened can use it.

He looks forward again, waiting for that drink

And that answers that question.

Put Paladin's drink on my tab. he just earned it.
actually, wait a second... i'll get it for him myself.

Goes behind the counter and fixes up Paladin's drink.

so. want me to get the first-aid kid out of the back for you? i think there's an extra coat in there as well... yours dosn't look like it's keeping you too warm.

Ruski hands Paladin his drink, leaveing the bottle next to the glass.

Gulps it down in a swallow and a half, his hand already on the bottle ready to pour the next by the time the glass hits the bar.

This'll do just fine for right now.

He lifts the refilled glass to his lips.

The next time I get the idea to go to Eastern Europe for fun, someone find Hock and call in a hit on me.

He proceeds to down half of that next glass.

So what's been going on around here besides the scintilating conversation?

Gabriel walks over from his table, taking a few items out of his coat pockets and stuffing them into the pockets of his jeans. He tosses the trenchcoat to Paladin, the ballistic plates causing it to drop like a rock.

"Here, chummer have some armor on me."

The soft click, of machinery can be heard as a small compartment in Gabriel's upper arm detaches itself. Reaching in, the elf pulls out a few slap patches. He tosses them on the bar near Paladin.

"Use what you need, Neo P. I can always get some more.

"So, what's this about Europe, if you don't mind the asking?"
