Stephen smirks at the couple's flirtatious banter as he takes John's  
card. He examines it briefly before slipping it into the inside  
pocket of his charcoal suit jacket. "Mike's not the owner?" Stephen  
asks, seeming confused by the way the two speak of him and the fact  
that the store is called "Mike's place." John had said, after all,  
that he runs the bookstore, not that he owns it.

The mathematician is strikingly handsome--perhaps he single-handedly  
disproves the awkward, nerdy stereotype accompanying his profession.  
He's clean-shaven and well dressed; his suit is tailored neatly,  
disguising his lanky frame. His eyes are a dark brown and their  
expression is curious and attentive. [App 4]

Aside from a genuine look of interest in the couple and the  
conversation, he doesn't appear to be up to anything out of the  
ordinary. Abby's animal instincts offer her very little additional  
insight; if anything, she can intuitively sense the fact that Stephen  
is indeed mortal... she can smell it on him.

[Thanks to Antonia for clarifying the use of Primal Urge... Unless  
Spikey deems otherwise, I don't think it garners anything extra.]
