firin my lazars (I'm old fuck off)

There's a tapping at the door. On the other side of it is a man large enough to take up the whole doorway, with a hangdog look and a duffel bag. He at least has the decency to smile sheepishly and offer his hand, especially considering what he's about to say:

"Barrow. Erm... your new roomie. Medic thought it'd be better if I got out of the group quarters."

Mouth slung open, scratching at the faded belly of a shirt that can't have been washed this season, Lazar doesn't exactly radiate nurture.

"The hell happened to you?"

Someone cleverer — only clever's not really it, someone who cared a little more on keeping their peace might ask: I look a fuckin' nurse now?

Guess he does. Enough, at least, to clear the the doorway; to take Barrow's bag before there he can object.

As rooms go, it's standard Gallows fare. Two beds, one occupied. Someone clever with their hands put real work into that blanket, someone cleverer than that put a lock on his trunk. Those books by the desk have been stacked to hide their spines against the wall; quill and ink lined up with a fussy precision.

Withdrawing his unshaken hand without comment, Barrow is a little surprised to have his bag simply taken like that, but isn't about to pass up a little help right when he needs it.

"Venatori," he says dismissively, shuffling inside and closing the door behind him, "...sorry, didn't catch your name."
He glances over the rest of the room.

"Big reader?"
