And here is a man in his early thirties, feeling as dejected as he looks. His chin is covered with a dark, fine stubble, his hair mussed.

"Hey. You just get here?" Roger offers the man a small smile.

"Yeah, well, the boat does it to you." Roger holds out his hand. "I'm Roger."

He blinks, a bit stunned by the exclamation and put off-guard by the fact that he has no clue where he is.

"I've already got a coat." Granted, it's not a very good coat, but Bohemians take what they can get.
