[Asch knows Luke is coming before he even enters the bar; even with the link as weak as it is compared to what it used to be, it's still strong enough for Asch to be able to sense his replica's proximity, more or less. It gives him time to brace himself for it, reach for his center of calm that always evades him when it comes to dealing with Luke. He tries, at least. It's more than he used to do.
Luke probably doesn't expect him to be tending customers behind the bar counter rather than acting as a patron himself, and he intends to make use of that shock to draw some information out. And he quite looks the part, too: dressed in a handsome dark vest, his hair bound up and out of the way, calmly washing glasses, he's practically the perfect opposite of the angry, desperate soldier he'd been during their final confrontation in Eldrant.
As soon as Luke enters, Asch watches him, waiting for Luke to meet his eyes.]
