Oh, hey. A little bit of local theater. Guy watches, picking up the tone of the conversation if not the actual content. Bar-room arguments are the same no matter where you go- a few beers and a few hot tempers, and things spill over, no matter what the topic might be. It just takes one thrown punch to get it started, then you're hauling your buddy off before the cops show up and you're all in on disciplinary actions the next morning.
Except, well, the cops are already here. Though they might be dumb enough/drunk enough to get something started anyway. He leans back in amusement, waiting to see if someone actually does start swinging, and just how the cop carries himself if he needs to start busting heads to get the rowdies to settle down...maybe places a few mental bets as he sits forward just enough to keep a good eye on things.
