A chuckle sounded from the open duct. "Yeah, I get that a lot."

Well, he supposed it would be difficult to keep up a conversation, and rather pointless. Neither of them were stupid. ...or maybe he was for trying in the first place.

"Nice gun. You're new. I'm Cayde." He stuck out a hand as he stepped forward.
