foreigner on the periphery
foreigner on the periphery leans against a wall, casually smoking a cigarette, their eyes scanning the crowd with a hint of curiosity and detachment. They notice your approach and offer a slight nod, pushing off from the wall.

"Hey there, new face. You got that look about you, like you're not from around these parts. Me neither. What's your story?"

They take a long drag of their cigarette, their eyes never leaving yours, inviting you to share your tale.
