Jude
Let me uncover the silver in your dark hair
The weight of your bones
Jude smiles at Hadama, reserved but not quite shy given he knows him far better than the stranger - who introduces himself as George. Brunch isn't required to entice him to work, but he appreciates the offer itself and is clearly ready to put himself to work. He's not anticipating the other man to speak to him, but Jude is a biddable young man who has no qualms with being instructed or offered advice. The weight of your bones
"That works for me," he agrees, and sets about looking over the alcohol bottles. Given their positioning he's certain they'll be at risk if he cleans them where they are, so Jude begins carefully pulling them out of their spots and onto the prep counter before spraying them - and their backdrop - liberally with the solution Hadama had supplied. Only then does he go in with a rag to clear off the other half of the counter to provide him somewhere to shuffle the spirits. Then he sets about picking up each bottle one by one and setting it to the opposite side only after it has been cleaned.

Jude sets the liquor bottles on the prep table carefully since cleaning them in place sounds bad. He cleans a section of the table then hand cleans each bottle to transfer them to the clean side.
I want to witness the beauty of your repair
the shape in which you've grown
