The first thing he'd done was check out his assigned lodgings -- they look like they did the last time he was here -- and then he'd decided to head to Liam's, to see how his old bar is faring. Also because he could use a drink after all of this, and his favorite place to get one remains the place he named after his brother. (Brothers, in fact, although he'd really only named it after the one.)

So it's not long after it opens that he walks in, and doesn't notice at first who's inside.
