The rigidity of this man?s appearance started at his crown, stripped clean of the dark curls that would?ve framed his firm and narrowing jawline. Weathered and water-wishing lips press themselves thinly together in reservation. There?s a graceful economy about the way Pete handled himself, slow to move and when he spoke it carried a gently soothing patience.

Eerily, despite the chaos of the city within the walls, Pete seemed sublimely settled to witness each day boldly, a testament to the sturdiness of his mettle.
