Syd glanced at the woman sitting opposite distracted from the events occuring in the bar. He had not really been paying atention to what she had been saying, but he caught the concern on in her voice. Focusing as well as he could on her face she did look genuinly worried. Thinking about it Syd realised he must have looked a pretty awfull sight. This was not good, even though she seemed like a kind stranger , it meant more questions and he was looking to avoid those.
The silence between them was defening. 'Say somthing before she gets suspcious.' an unplesant voice said in the back of his head. 'Er.... er..... I am fine.' He stammered putting on his best smile, whcih made him look like he was suffering from severe stomach cramps. His accent was a little odd but there was a slight Bretonian twang to it.
'It is kind of you to ask, I've been through a lot in the last 48 hours. But I am fine.....' He left hand ran serruptitiously over his right arm.
