[ Peter moves around different tables, paying more attention to those with familiar faces or suspicious ones and, in a few occasions, he has to drag some drunk idiot out of the club for some time out. Hurting people is not something he enjoys, and he tries to keep it to a minimum or avoid it completely, while giving the impression that he's not someone you want to mess with.
The moment Kirigan bumps into him, Peter's hand shoots up and wraps around the man's forearm, keeping him from moving away. His posture is straighter now, his stance now closer to what one could call defiant. To any onlooker, it looks like he's making sure the Darkling won't be able to reach any possible concealed weapons, not like mages really need physical ones. ]
I'd be more careful if I were you, mage, lest you lose an arm next time. It would make playing cards so much harder. [ Peter's voice is calm but with an edge to it. The small smile curling in his lips doesn't reach his green eyes, which are staring coldly into darker ones.
It's all theatrics, of course, an old game of pretending for the sake of the mission that Peter knows well. He imagines a man as intuitive as the Darkling might understand it. Just in case, he gives his arm a couple of quick squeezes to make it clear. ]
