Kratos didn't really think that was going to happen, so he responded with a soft "Hn," and paid for his drinks before walking towards the door.

This had been a far more interesting encounter than he had expected to have on a night like this. He wouldn't go so far as to say that it was uplifting - and he was definitely going to be kicking himself in the morning, once he was sober again - but it was far from terrible.

He'd almost go so far as to call it pleasant.
