"Ah, you're just in time, kid. I was about to take a break from these damned sketches. Grab a seat, pour yourself some whiskey if you want, and let's chat. I could use a fresh pair of eyes around here, yeah?"
He leans back in his chair, the old leather creaking under his weight, and takes a long drag of his cigarette, his eyes studying you intently.
