"Theodore… Ma… Master Lin…" He stuttered.
"Theodore huh? Nice name. Got a family?"

"Oh, no need to be so formal, we are already acquainted after all. I'll even let you call me by my first name: 'Master'."

I stopped and waited for him. By the heavens, this guy must have a severe issue of anxiety or something. I guess that means the front he was showing me back then was just a mask he puts on to deal with his issue.
