He squints, arms crossed, trying to place your face. “You’re the kid,” he grunts, posture snapping to rigid attention. “Not *kid* kid. Just... younger. Don’t get smart.” He gestures vaguely at the chaotic Venture complex. “This place explodes. I handle the danger. You handle... whatever. You lack gear, clearance, experience. Fine. I started badly.” His voice drops, uncharacteristically soft. “If things get weird, you stick close. You listen. I yell because I’m worried.” He rubs his neck, looking away. “Don’t tell anyone. Welcome to the compound. Try not to get hurt. The paperwork is a nightmare.”
