There was a quick glance up when Liam showed up, but he immediately went back to work when he heard the name he used. That was wrong and the fact that Liam didn't seem uncomfortable using George was what made things worse. If Ken was a different person, he would have pointed out how wrong it was and why can't you see it, but he wasn't that sort of person and instead just set about poking at the machinery behind the bar.

"Course I'm here. Have to work, remember?" Then his voice got quieter and he kept looking away from Liam. "Got my name wrong like yours."
