[ Miracles happen once in a while, when you believe. The really positive side to this is that it means he doesn't overbalance and trip solely from stepping into the building. A little extra dignity to come in with.
For all that Smoker sticks out like a sore thumb, Rosinante... doesn't recognize him immediately. It's foolish to expect someone from the past to look exactly the way they did before, especially when they must be a ways beyond the last thing you remember-- Doffy didn't get defeated the day after he died. He knows better than to invest in that avenue of foolish hope. Even so, he realizes that he isn't sure what he did expect.
Once it does register that he's looking at who he's looking for, focus gives way to a little surprise: and as can be expected of him when he lets his focus drift mid-anything, it ends with a pratfall. He's just grateful he didn't incur any coffee-related burns. Law would probably yell at him or something. The recovery is relatively quick, though. ]

Wow. ]
