[ He has nothing better to do, so starting at 501 doesn't scare him. But there is the promise of another drink after the game, so regardless of how long it lasts he would still have a little more time in her company to try and figure things out.
Without appearing to be, he watches her closely. She throws like someone who knows what they're doing, and the act is infinitely more interesting than the score. It's also tiring, he's had his fill of lies and deceit. So when it's his turn he steps up to the mark and throws three accurate shots in succession - double ring, on the twenty, triple ring, on the twenty, outer bull, in a straight line beneath the other two darts. Turning to face her, he touches his forehead as if tipping an invisible hat, and chalks his own score before getting back to his spot. ]
