Jean was at the bar as usual, washing some glassware as you came in. He gave you a quick glance and a half smile before returning to towel dry the glasses. After a moment he came to ask what you wanted to drink.

"So. what do you want to order?" he asked with a half-smile and a bit of warmth in his voice. as a regular customer, Jean was very familiar with the patrons of the bar and did his best to treat them with courtesy and respect.
