[ Eddie knows the crew well enough to pick them out of a crowd, but she's never been great with names. Surprisingly, for someone who was able to pick out the most obscure demon or magical being from the D&D guidebook, when it came to regular people, names tended to slip through her fingers like sand.
She doesn't need to know people's names to recognize them, though. Which means it doesn't take her long to suss out the new guy in the group, broad shoulders draped in gray cotton that's gone dark in the rain, sharp features glistening in the mist and the floodlights, hair that looks as curly as hers tucked behind his ears and into a low ponytail. He looks familiar, but she can't quite place him. Most of the guys on her crew are babyfaced college kids or seasoned professionals with big shovel beards like they think they're in ZZ Top or something, so the delicacy in his face stands out.
He's cute. She digs the little goatee. But Eddie doesn't shit where she sleeps, and hitting on someone who's on her payroll is a real scumbag move, so when they bump elbows as they pass, she just gives him a little up-nod and a welcoming smile. There isn't time to chit-chat right now, anyway. She'll buy him a beer in thanks later, once they're broken down and dry. ]
