But his body was still sweaty, and somehow it felt wrong to sit in this chair because he knew that with all of his roughness, he'd typically not hang out in a place like this. Which meant he would definitely not sit in a chair like this.

He nodded his head again. Repeatedly. Quickly.
"So, I've been wondering…"
He straightened his body.
