[So this place is really something. This brothel. The name's not inspiring confidence that it's any less of a fetish dungeon than he'd first guessed on being told about it. Shades Darker than what? And the scenes outside would put the streetwalkers he knows to shame. It's like a cross between some ancient Arabian fairytale souk and Times Square on a Saturday. It's not not quite his scene, not really. The crowded, messy entertainment district across the way is far more his line - but then that's the problem when sex becomes professional. People start taking it so seriously. Look how literal they've gone with the color scheme, for gods sakes.
But there's something in the air designed to unwind and ease, and it's working on him just a little.
He's only here to visit a doctor. But having given the right name at the door he's been told the man's busy, he'll have to wait. And, like showing up early for a table at a fancy restaurant, it turns out the only place to wait here is at the bar.
Picking his way between people here for other purposes, smiling and shaking his head at invitations issued right into his ear, he cuts a slight figure, all in black, as he picks out a barstool and looks to attract the attention of the woman serving. Might as well take a glass of courage while he's here.]
