Nikolai looked up when he heard a voice. He didn't recognize the man and felt a small pang of unease. It was likely just residual nerves from having encountered an Old Gods' demigod. Completely unaware that yet another one stood before him, he answered Noah "A book on philosophy."
The Ascended couldn't tell if the stranger was more intrigued by the book or himself, so he elaborated. "I figured a bar was a good warm spot to read. Probably not the quietest but, it's nice to read with a beer in hand."
That bit was only a half-lie. The scholar had developed the habit of sipping coffee while reading, back when he was Accepted. It just felt natural to drink something when reading, even if he didn't need it anymore.
