Q flinched, and it was genuine. He'd been certain he was playing the part well, and he'd not expected Bond to grab him so roughly. It was pantomime, yes, but the pain in his arm was very much real.
His shoulder ached, and the look of pain that creased his features wasn't put on at all.
"It was for you," Q said quietly, so startled that he didn't notice their mark approach.
"Now now, boys. No fighting on the dance floor. Would be a shame to bar the two best looking men here tonight. ...Well, second best," the man quipped, gesturing to himself with a laugh.
Honestly, he wasn't anything like what Q would have imagined. He wasn't far into his forties, and he was handsome, with a charming smile and bright eyes. Actually, he was the sort of man Q would have hit on at the bar, back before he'd fallen hard for Bond. Older, fit, tall... Q didn't even realize he was smiling faintly and staring until the man winked at him.
"You both look a little tense tonight. You in town on business? You look like business," the mark laughed, nodding at Bond, then pulling out his card. "I'm Tony Fields, this is my place- But I own a spa as well. How about I treat you boys to a day of free pampering, huh? ...I think you'll really like it," he added, nodding at Bond again.
