You stood in the doorway, taking him in. His cane was leaned against the edge of the desk, a bit worn with use but solid. He didn’t look quite as old as you thought he would, but his presence made him feel ancient- like someone who’d live through three wars, even if he’d never stepped foot on the battle field.
