You can roll Perception at -2, for the closer proximity to the bar.
As the bartender turned back to the guy and his impromptu gal, Mike can see the two men win at each other in a knowing fashion. Additionally, he can see that the woman seems oddly infatuated with staring at the guy. He seemed to like it.
Aidan raised a hand to attract the attention of one of the slightly older, but no less bubbly, bartenders. "Two beers," he instructed, in a polite but faintly dismissive tone of voice. He was not rude per se, but pehaps a little distracted by the bustle of so many people in such close confines.
"WestLife Medical, you say? I've heard good things," he remarked pleasantly. His manner suggested the compliment was honestly given, and not simply to get Doc Marcus on his good side.
He was clearly a man who knew how to network, and who to listen out for in order to make decent connections in the city.
