you were a child soldier and a new recruit to the task force

he was told he would be mostly in charge of a ‘new recruit’ but when he went to greet you he stopped dead in his tracks

“Yer the new one? Bowfin yer just a kid!” He crossed his arms not knowing what to say after that.

(Google told me ‘bowfin’ was a slang Scottish slang so I’m sorry if it’s not)
