Marty sat in the chair across the desk from an older man, being quite unsure how in the hell he had gotten there. Only a moment ago had he been downstairs with Owen, Gwen and Ianto. A bearded dude had passed him on the way into the office, and Marty could have sworn he smiled but then, he had been distracted by a pterodactyl. They called it some batshit name Marty couldn't pronounce and moved on, waving him towards the office and this man. He appeared to be in control of the operation.
"Hi. I'm Marty." Marty bit his lip and ran a hand through his hair. He had a tendency to do that when he was nervous.
The office was sparsely decorated, and without a lot of clutter. It appeared to Marty as though it felt "homely", if you will, to the occupant but was in reality, to Marty at least, somewhat cold and stiff.
Marty looked down at the ground, suddenly enthralled with his sneakers. Back in Hill Valley, they would have been referred to as 'Pumped up kicks', AKA, cool, jacked up shoes. He was wearing his only pair of neon Nikes, the ones he had scribbled all over with marker. Definitely pumped up kicks.
His head bounced up again to meet the man's eyes and he felt a wave of despair. If he used that terminology in this era, would anyone be able to distinguish it at all?
