[Arthur doesn't pull away right away, smiling affectionately and a little playfully at Eames for a moment before he finally drops his arms and takes one of Eames' hands again. It's not a terribly long walk to the bar, but Arthur does savour the time they have before they get there and he has to put on his slightly more serious face.]
[It's kind of a dingy place, but it has its character. It's off the beaten trail on purpose, since the target demographic is mostly vampires and humans who are in the know. There are only a few populated tables and a couple people at the bar, but the classic rock playing over the speakers is loud enough that the conversations are still mostly private. Arthur smells a couple humans at a table in the back right away but otherwise it's all vampires in here, including the woman behind the bar who nods at him as he enters. She looks to be in her 50's or so but Arthur knows she's late into her second century, with enough of a grip on herself and the unwritten rules that she runs a pretty tight ship - Arthur's only had to tell her off for having someone feeding off a human in the bathroom once or twice in the past year, which is better than he can say for most vampire-run establishments in the area.]
[In any case, he's pleasant as he introduces Eames, leading him to the bar with his hand on the small of Eames' back and casually stepping around him so he's between Eames and the humans in the back. She nods and says it's nice to meet the man who's kept Arthur from snapping all their necks in recent years before she serves up a couple beers and Arthur nods at an empty table and asks if Eames wants to go sit down away from the bar.]
