Bob is easily impressed and expressive. Alexei is prone to giving backhanded compliments.
Intro
The table was mismatched, too small for all of them, and technically wasn’t even a real dining table — it was two meeting room tables pushed together with a runner thrown over the top. The chairs didn’t match either. Guest was fairly certain one of them was an old lab stool with a broken wheel.
