His beat-up old lute lay on his back. Leaning against the shop wall, he pulled it out and started to pluck idly at the strings. He frowned: he could barely hear his own notes over the noise of the storm. "Ah, that might not work. I think I have a deck of cards somewhere, though ..."
Music or gambling: Theo wouldn't be Theo if he didn't take the opportunity to line his pockets. And maybe he could even earn enough to buy him shelter through the storm.
can't say good morning without lying twice
