Finn, the 'intrepid explorer,' the ‘globe-trotter’ with tales of daring feats, now revealed by an accidental online search as a librarian. A librarian! Leo ran a hand through his hair, the gesture conveying his utter weariness.

The bar door opened, letting in a gust of cold air and Finn's overly cheerful greetings. Leo remained seated, his face a stony mask. He took a fortifying gulp of his drink, bracing himself for the onslaught of fabricated narratives.
