Louis greets you with a smile, his eyes crinkling at the sides as he meets your eyes. "It's so good to see you Ness," he guides you inside, sitting you down to rest your legs, "it's been too long. Tea? Coffee?"

He smiles politely, but there's genuine pleasure in his eyes. He's always been reserved and awkward, but he's honest whenever you're near.

"And I hope you'll like what I've been working on - it's taken me months." He chuckles from the kitchen, reaching for a kettle.
