"Darts and pool," John says. "We can do both. The night is young, isn't it?"

He's not sure if he'll be any good at darts. His aim is very good, but he's never really devoted much time to darts and he knows there's more to it than just having good aim.

It's a bar game, at least where he's from, and he thinks that alone ought to be a reason for him to know it well. As a young man, he'd spent too much time in bars. Far too much.
