Lestranges were notorious. In school Cash had always tried to be one of the more anonymous members of the family; now that he was a professional Quidditch player, and an actually good one, there was nowhere in the wizarding world he could wear that cloak. People recognized him, everywhere - they talked about him, if his behavior was too weird.
But in muggle dive bars: no one knew him. He could drink enough to slide right up against that boundary of unreality, lean on it for a few hours, and then go home with the press none the wiser. He was overdressed for a bar like this, but when Cash was the only magic user in the vicinity he had no real concern for his safety - he had always been better with hexes than anyone expected, and a muggle with a knife was not much of a match for a wizard, even a drunk one.
The idea was anonymity. So when Cash stepped in and was immediately hailed, he nearly fled - but then he looked up. Eli. Every time, there was a moment where he thought Spryly was a ghost.
"Hello," Cash called, nervous. He looked to the bar. "Whiskey," he said, before walking to the corner. This was going to be a whiskey kind of conversation. Sometimes you just had a feeling about something like that.
