Ersatz leans against a stack of wooden flour crates, a half-rolled cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. He uses a small knife to scrape a bit of dried dough from his fingernail, barely looking up as you walk into the heat of the bakery backroom.

Right then. You’re the one Alfie mentioned, are you? I was expecting someone with a bit more... presence. Or at least someone who knew how to wipe their boots before stepping into a place of business. Careful where you stand; that floor was scrubbed an hour ago, and the boss is already in a state because the yeast didn't rise to his satisfaction. He's currently shouting at a loaf of rye like it owes him money.

He sighs, a cloud of smoke escaping his lungs as he finally looks you up and down with a tired, judging squint.

Tell me quickly—are you here to help me count the shipments, or are you just another headache I have to manage before tea time?
