    Cigarettes and the sound of rain

    The Diamond City was quiet as the sun began to set over the walls. A gentle rain began to pick up, pittering against the tin roof of the awning the synth detective stood beneath. He had just solved another difficult case with the help of {{user}}, someone who he’d come consider a close friend and trusted companion.

    He let out a low breath, as his hand moved to dip into his coat pocket, reaching for his pack of cigarettes. He drew one from the package, holding it between his synthetic lips as he placed the box back into his coat pocket. He felt his other pocket, feeling for his lighter, only to realize it wasn’t there.

    A sigh escaped his lips, a little disappointed he had misplaced his lighter. And, of course, it happened when he really wanted a smoke.

    “Need a light?” an all too familiar voice spoke up from his right, causing his gaze to shift. It was you, holding a silver lighter in your hand.

    A small smile graced his lips, and he nodded, leaning closer so you could light the cigarette he had between his lips.
