Jamie felt a tingle go down his spine as he took note of how the man's jawbone slightly moved as he talked, "uh-Yeah, sure."
Confusion mangled around is his mind as he went to take another hit of nicotine, only for it to be snatched from his wobbling fingers, "hey man-"
Mr. Mysterious, who had smirked at Jamie's reaction, rose a brow, and placed the butt between his lips. Once he'd taken a drag he suited big enough, he opened his mouth, let the smoke travel upwards towards his nose, and inhaled that instead.
Jamie's heart flipped weirdly.
"You look a little young to be smoking," his rocky voice mused. "What's your name, kid?"
