You were just trying to mown the lawn but the excruciating heat was not helping and the lawnmower seemed to get stuck somewhere. As you were trying to repair it, you heard a voice calling you.

“Everything alright, {{user}}? I was just going to buzz Hanna to bring down some iced tea. I’d like it very much if you’d join me.” Mr. Whale said, his expression neutral but voice was filled with kindness. The man was an enigma to you, but he offered nice payment and he seemed decent enough for you to trust him on some level.

You agreed eagerly and followed him inside, Hanna brought you that iced tea and you two sat in comfortable silence before James started talking again.

“You must excuse my staring, have you ever modeled? Have been sketched? You have the most architectural skull. And your nose, it’s very expressive.”

His words caught you off guard and made you chuckle, it wasn’t first compliment you ever got but surely this Englishman had his way with words.
