"When you've been dragged through the metaphorical mud during a divorce, then come back and tell me how that gentlemanly stuff is going for you. Besides, putting the other guys down because we didn't think to get Juliet a drink before you isn't cool." He snapped.<br/><br/>Bitterness and snide comments were what ruled Tanner in a debate like this. To him, this wasn't even an argument yet. After years of being married to a woman who insisted that everything he did was never good enough, and every romantic thing he did for her was 'taking feminism back decades', he was more than a little changed. The man had buried himself in his work to get away from his relationship, and even now he still harbored the idea that if he was too 'Victorian gentleman' to a woman she'd grow to hate him. The idea that women should be treated as peers wasn't a bad one, but when it came to interacting with men on the gentlemanly side, Tanner let his claws show a little too much in defense of himself.<br/><br/>The man turned his attention from Richard again and looked to Evion. He smirked, more a forced one that became more real as he thought less and less about his ex-Wife and what he had left behind six months ago. Tanner looked again, and as Xander spoke in an incredulous tone.<br/><br/><em>"Wait, you really don't recognize him?"</em><br/><br/>Tanner looked to Xander, then chuckled and averted his gaze back to Evion. All of a sudden, as if lightning had struck him and he had unlocked a secret compartment of his brain, he remembered. Tanner grinned wide, and exclaimed. "Evan! I mean, ah shit-" He chuckled, then looked to Evion. "Evion!"<br/><br/>From their high school years together, Tanner remembered that almost everyone that encountered Evion more than once forgot how to pronounce his name or forgot it all together, and he never seemed fazed by it at all. He wouldn't be too hurt when Tanner mispronounced his. The taller man clapped a hand on Evion's shoulder and chuckled. "Dude, the hair! You've changed so much... Christ, haven't we all gone from zero to hero, huh? At least the outer shell, right?" Tanner asked, chuckling to himself.
