A middle-aged man walked towards the bar and tipped his hat at the others sitting there. "Name's McFadden," he said. "It's been quite the while since I stopped by this station. Never been here though for some odd reason."
He rubbed his chin in a thought sort of way. "Been working up at South Shields mostly, until recently. You know how things go."
He nodded to a passing Molly. "Hey there, been a long time," he said. "Getting ready to head out in a day or two. Got a new job up in the Taus. Anyone know what things are like up there? I've been here in Bretonia me whole life."
