Hopefully despite the terseness of Watts's nod of acknowledgement, both Steven and Marc would be able to tell that the gesture was appreciated.

Watts slid into a seat at the lounge, immediately waving over a server and placing an order for a drink that he knew was both high in alcohol content and safe for human consumption. Once the drink was in front of him he drank that down and then ordered another in quick succession.

Figuring out payment would be a future Watts problem, as he'd skipped right by getting his money changed.
