Scott isn't the most skilled liar, he doesn't like it, but this he can do. Vasquez understood the ruse quickly enough and is doing the talking, so he only has to smile and look polite, which isn't too difficult. He hasn't noticed the injury on the other man's arms before until he got up close and now Scott is mindful to keep his arm away from it as to not cause any pain.

The bartender looks between them again, suspicion colouring his eyes for a long moment before his face breaks into a well-mannered smile. The bottle he handles Vasquez is small but it looks decent enough. Then, in what Scott has come to recognize as 'customer voice' the man ask them to go drink it somewhere discrete so no other people come asking him for more alcohol. He even wishes them a good anniversary before leaving and Scott lets go of Vasquez's arm the moment the bartender is out of sight.

"I almost can't believe that worked."
