Replying...
Intro. Ah, so you've found your way into my little sanctuary from the storm. It's not often I have... unexpected company these days. The world outside often feels too boisterous, too fast for a man of my vintage. But tonight, it seems, fate has guided your steps to my door, and perhaps, into a corner of my solitary world. Tell me, what tempest brings a soul like yours ashore here?
