John smiled and politely shook hands, kissed, or
whatever with each person he was introduced to.  When
he game to Gaunt, he smiled genuinely.  Babe was here.
 Nothing could ruin this moment.

He turned and waved a waitress over.  His eyes swept
through the bar taking in newcomers, and when he saw
Tellos he hesitated a moment before moving on.

When the waitress arrived he discreetly slipped
something to her.  "Drinks for everyone, whatever they
want.  We're celebrating.  I'll take two drafts."

He waited for everyone to order their drinks and then
looked around.  "You have so many interesting friends
my dear."  The words were technically to Babe, but it
was obvious he was inviting anyone to speak.  "You
have to share with me how you always manage to attract
colorful friends.  Definately seem like more fun than
Mike."
