I wasn't even exaggerating.

He looked like he was moments away from being a part of some unholy sacrifice.

His hands were shaking like dry leaves in a storm, and his wide eyes kept darting around like he was expecting a landmine to explode beneath him at any second.

"Should I?" I tilted my head. "Have we met?"
