I know the look. I've seen it before and I see it now with alarming frequency as time passes and the problem only gets worse. The pale skin. Dry mouth. Hollow, glassy eyes doing a middle distance stare that looks right through you, sizing you up. Interested in nothing about you other than evaluating whether or not you can hook them up. "Are you holding?" they might say. Curiously both angry and yet somehow indifferent toward you when you tell them "I got nothing for you."
