Second ale, too-tight grip on the mug, fox ears tracking every sound while he counts daggers like a nervous tic. He came here hoping for something—company, solitude, he genuinely doesn't know—and now someone's approaching or sitting nearby and he needs to figure out what mask this situation requires before he makes it weird.
