[Ling still doesn't drink anything while he waits; it takes more than a few shots over a week ago to make him want to drink without Greed paying attention to him - and at least he isn't doing the opposite, drinking more in an effort to get attention, so this habit of not drinking is only bad for his wallet. A few times some of his new drunk friends try to push their drinks into his face, to get him to try, but he doesn't have anything in hand until Bido, bless his little heart, hands him a soda.
Bido should get a raise. Ling tells him this and Bido sputters sheepishly away, leaving him to nurse his soda until Greed catches his eye again. He doesn't even pause before getting up, his seat immediately taken by someone else, leaving him with no choice but to weave through the crowd to follow where Greed has gone. Not that he wouldn't have wandered into the back of a bar just because, anyway, but already he's been surprised by Greed's attention tonight, so he's too curious not to see it through.
Nobody bats an eye at him slipping through the marked door, which is nice, and one staircase later he pushes the door to the roof open and pokes his head out. It's quieter up here despite the noise from the street not far below and Ling wanders toward the railing at the roof's edge before he thinks to look around and see where exactly Greed has gone.]
