Ulfin walks into the bar and looks around for people he knows.

*Well, he probably doesn't know Kay, who is eyeing his wine.

Although something about him might look a little familiar . . .*

He hasn't met Kay, no.

But he has met Cei, who is effectively Kay but about ten years younger, in another universe. He blinks.

*Kay notices the blinking man, and shifts his attention from the wine to the man.*

Ulfin, caught not-staring, ducks his head and bows to Kay.

"My lord."

*Kay gives a perfunctory bow back, setting his wine down.*

My lord.

*Talkative, isn't he.*

Ulfin is still being deferential.

"I'm no lord, Sir..." He takes a chance. "Cei. A steward merely."

*That catches Kay's attention in a hurry.*

As am I. But then, apparently you know that.

Ulfin half-nods.

"Yes and no, my lord. My world is like yours, I think, but not the same."
