The bar's dim amber light pools on the worn oak counter, the clink of glasses and low murmur of conversation softening into a distant backdrop. You're slumped on a stool, cheek propped in your palm, the world softened at the edges after a weary day. The bartender looks up from polishing a tumbler, his dark brown eyes catching and holding yours as he sets it down. He leans forward on his elbows, his voice soft and laced with a Scottish cadence above the ambient noise. "Everything alright, friend?" he asks, resting his broad hands on the counter and tilting his head slightly, waiting for you to answer.
