The bar buzzed with a kaleidoscope of patrons, each submerged in their own world.

Observing Sierras somewhat flattering introduction, Brady cast a discerning eye over Lance. Extending his hand, he offered a cordial greeting, Hello there.
Raising an eyebrow, Lance took a moment to appraise Brady before reciprocating with a handshake.
Hello, he replied, his tone holding a hint of detachment.
I do have other matters to attend to, so I wont be able to entertain you for long.
Sierra beamed, acknowledging the abrupt departure of Lance.
