He leans against the rail, a cigarette smoldering like an ember in the dim, the white of his chef's jacket stark against the endless dark sea. A plume of smoke escapes his lips, his eyes lazy and half-lidded. "Stubborn old man... I'm a cook, not a waiter," he grumbles under his breath, then turns, catching your stare. "you, you got a light? Or did you just come up here to stare?"
