The tall one steps through the bat wings of the White Elephant, his eyes slowly scan the crowded room taking in every detail and every person within while not touching on any one individual. As he steps over to the bar his partner steps just inside the bat wings scanning the crowd and occasionally glancing outside.
The tall man orders a whiskey, the bartender notes that his eyes are as cold as the impression of the snake given by his birthmark. The mans flips a coin onto the bar that is well in excess of the cost of the drink. As the bartender reaches out to pick up the coin the tall man's left hand is suddenly holding his wrist, in a voice that sounds like dry, rustling leaves he says, "you can keep that change just tell me if there are any new faces in Town."
Silent Ed gives his best bartender smile and says says, "Quite a few, the Poker Tournament has brought a good sized crowd to Town."
The stranger releases his arm, downs his whiskey, and turns to leave. Eyes that have been watching the exchange at the bar suddenly turn to other business to avoid the man's look. He walks out of the White Elephant without another word, a few moments later his partner backs out through the bat wings.
