After his talk (also known as the only by the loosest definition successful interrogation) with the Avatars, he's traipsing back into wander and investigation mode when he comes across this sulky-ass gentleman. He considers talking to him, then considers not talking to him, and then figures it can't hurt to make more connections. ]
[ WHY DID HE CHOOSE TO SULK AT THE BAR WHERE PEOPLE COULD SHOW UP AND TRY TO TALK TO HIM, THIS WAS SUCH A DUMB IDEA
he opens his mouth to say something, but then thinks better of it. Eventually, he settles on a hand gesture: wiggling his flat hand side to side in an "eh, kind of" gesture. ]
[ Hey, here's a shoulder pat. Hahahahahahaha. Pat pat.
He has no idea what happened to you but it's clearly just made him a little sulky, which means in the grand scheme of things, it can't be that bad. It's clearly not had the other in a particularly talkative mood though, apparently. ]
Well, hope things look up for you soon, hm? Don't get run down so fast.
[ He sighs heavily and takes another drink. He forces himself to sit upright and offer a stiff nod. That's not quite it, really, but it's close enough. ]
Alright, no pity it is then. Just the well wishes of a man who dropped by. [ He pats the bar! ] Either way, drinking alone while sulking is sad. How about a proper chat over a normal drink another time?
[ He huffs, annoyed at the general circumstances, but smooths out his expression to--well, not a grin, but something at least neutral, that doesn't look like he's mad or anything.
[ Fantastic. He'll hold you to that, big guy! Opposed to Vlad's neutral expression, Steven's got an easygoing smile. He gives him another light pat before walking away, smell ya later. ]

Fortunately, Steven is good at reading people. ]
I see. Does it have to do with the sudden arrival of those Avatars?

[ He sounds nonplussed, unsure how to respond to the shoulderpats. ]

[ The words may be nonsense, but at least the tone carries a sort of proud stubbornness to it. ]

...I'm sorry, I don't speak that particular language. But I take it you don't want pity, or something.

And he lifts his glass in a 'cheers' gesture. ]
