Abraham was actually on the prowl (ha, ha... ha) for Wallace, someone he'd misplaced in the crowd after disappearing for two seconds to use the bathroom. (Which he did not recommend doing here. Pissing in a trough was always the worst.)
So he followed the scent of a tiger, by now plenty able to pick that out of a crowd. Sniffing like the animal person he was, the flash of orange that greeted him in his... eye's eye rather than his mind's eye was related to the scent, and also the animal, but definitely not Wallace. Instead, this was maybe one of the stripies that Wallace had mentioned. Ashley or something?
Sidling up at the bar, he was greeted pretty quick and nodded back. Abraham would have to sneakily order something not to seem like a weirdo? Maybe a drink he could lovingly deliver to Asha as a nice surprise. Except she got free drinks? Hmmm. Don't overthink it. Start with a water, it was hot in here.
Anyway. Nothing ordered yet, he went with a real bold greeting.
"Hey."
Good start!
"Tiger?"
