The barmaid had returned with Rude's second drink just in time for Reno to be grabbed. The woman glanced up and across and sighed slightly, and Rude raised an eyebrow. This was definitely a common occurrence, then. Paying her, requesting that she keep the change (she smiled at that and thanked him, and Rude was fairly certain she also deliberately flashed some more of her breasts), the Turk leaned back in his chair to watch his partner's antics.
He didn't get to relax long, however. Just as his drink was about halfway gone, another of the man's friends came in his direction. "Better get your friend over there outta here, buddy."
Ignoring the man, Rude sipped his drink, glancing down to confirm that it was empty. The man fumed. "Hey! You've got no idea who you're dealing with!" Reaching out to grab Rude's shoulder, the man squeaked slightly as Rude's hand immediately came up and grabbed his wrist, squeezing hard enough for the bones to grind together. "Neither do you."
Releasing the man, who quickly backed away and headed for the door, Rude stood. They would have a reputation firmly established, if nothing else, and the man wouldn't go to the authorities -- not yet, at least. Standing, Rude casually started for the crowd Reno had gathered instead, adjusting his gloves as he walked across the room.
