Henry's attitude was distressingly common in Quentin's opinion. If he only dealt with men who were capable of a level of respect for everyone then he would not deal with very many people at all. Which meant that for the moment the big man would allow Henry's attitude to slide. Since Claire seemed inclined to handle him herself, he would let that be the case for now. Though he suspected that before this was all said and done he would lay Henry out. If for no other reason than his own satisfaction.
Still, perhaps there was something to be said for it. After all, if Quentin had been disinclined to indulge Claire before he was now more willing to bow to her demand, if for no other reason than to make up for what was aborhent behaviour. "Mister Longbottom, in my experience protection doesn't typically require touching the other person in a way that clearly disgusts them. Additionally, this bar is a public place so it is hardly men's territory. If you are hoping to join this particular venture then I would suggest you start acting as though you are at church and your wife is watching you. That may get you to a bare minimum level of appropriate behaviour that I expect from people under my employ."
