Or a folding mat with faded crayon marks on the bottom.
Or vintage early 20th century rosewood etagere which was...actually pretty cool and he couldn't wait to decorate it with knick-knacks.
But that was all besides the point! Being pitied by a middle schooler was bad enough. Being pitied by a gang of middle schoolers twice your size was so much worse. 'Goddamnit, Mob. You made it sound like we're a charity case over here.'
"Well...I got a job of utmost importance for you, Mob."
