She called him "love."  John knows his response is
almost childish, but he can't help but offer an
affectionate squeeze.

John turns to the newcomer, a practiced eye analyzing
the man and his nature.  (Awareness + Perception = 6) 


"Of course."  He moves to make room for Nekos. 
"Though I'm not sure what it is about us that might
call for the use of intriguing.  Two boring men, one
gorgeous woman."  He feigns confusion, but the
friendly smile on his face doesn't disappear, and the
comment seems more directed at Morgan.

John removes his arm from around Abby's waist and
offers it to their new companion.  "John Black, and
it's a pleasure to meet you."
