It's like old times, with that same edge of familiar competition. Quinn is still gruff as ever. Bax looks pained in that I'm-not-pained sort of way he's got, and Woody is... well, Woody's just himself, isn't he.
"No Rick, I see. No matter." His eyes shift to Quinn, momentarily, but don't linger there. Probably just as well, and if he's smart about things he'll keep his mouth shut. But since when has he kept his mouth shut?
Well. He'll do his best to behave. It's been a long time since they've all been together and maybe this time it can go smoothly. "Glad to see all of you. I... um... I didn't have a lot of time for advance planning on this trip, so thanks for coming round on short notice. Drinks are on me, yeah?"
At least one of them looks as if they've done something successful with his life, and it's not any of his mates. In a pique of generosity, words he hadn't even thought to utter leave his mouth. "Whatever you want, as much as you want. For my friends, the world."
If he kicks himself for being sentimental, it doesn't show on his face. It really is good to see them.
