Fake name, fake identity. Something to do. Malachi has disappeared for the day - instead, Chatan is the man who heads out to meet up in a small and unassuming restaurant with Mira Zhang - at the request of Sam. He knows he could've said no. He's getting old, he has things to do already. He owns a butcher shop. He's the spouse who has to cook or else his husband forgets to eat half the time. But here he is taking on another job.
Before heading off, Mikala's tied his hair for him into a traditional chongo, and he's dressed... somewhat nicer than the usual old denim and hand-me-down band t-shirts. "Ms. Zhang." He walks to where she's waiting at a table. A requested meeting before he starts as her security. "Chatan. You've looked over my file, I've been told."
Malachi's already a serious one. He's decided to lean into it. Play the stoic and proud indigenous man who's silent and reserved. No threat. A protector. It'll work easier that way.
