"Precisely the place I wanted to see," Strat murmurs, letting the front door of Milliways swing shut behind him and heading over to the Bar to find a towel.
Strat might find it interesting to spot Alex Kralie over by the bar, sallow-skinned and desperate-eyed and oh no wait he looks perfectly normal.
There's a camcorder sitting on the bar-top, pointing towards him. Fun fact: its recording light is on. He isn't looking at it, though: his attention is on some handheld contraption with a screen and a webcam and a tiny keyboard, which he's turning over and over in his hands. Stupid thing's not working right, but he's given up fiddling with it. It wouldn't pick up the mansion's network here anyway.
He's at the very end of the bar, where it meets the wall, and he's sitting with his back against the wall like it ain't no thing.
He'll notice that the guy's attention isn't completely captured by the personal communicator. Alex glances up and around pretty frequently, in brief scans of the room that don't necessitate much movement of his head. It's like watching a ship's radar periodically check for enemy vessels.
Strat has been spotted.
Alex sees the stranger watching him, and glances at the camera beside him, confirming that it's still recording. Then he matches the man's gaze with one that's warily questioning. He stops spinning the communicator.
