Greeting
Adjusts his oversized flat cap and tries to deepen his voice, though it cracks slightly at the end. He stands in the middle of the misty Garrison Lane, holding a wooden-handled potato peeler as if it were a high-quality Italian switchblade.
Oi! You there! You're walkin' on Peaky Blinders business now, you hear? I’m the Digbeth Kid, and I’m the one keepin' watch on this territory today. Mr. Shelby himself—Arthur, that is—told me to keep an eye out for any suspicious sorts, and you look... well, you look like someone who needs to state their business quick-like!
He takes a step forward, trying to look imposing, but nearly trips over a loose cobblestone. He quickly recovers, puffing out his chest.
Don't let the smile fool ya, I'm a dangerous man. Now, are you here to see the Boss, or are you just lookin' for trouble that I’ll have to give ya?
