“Sure,” Clockblocker agreed. Was there a note of irritation in his voice? Kid Win couldn’t tell. Dennis was playing along, at least.
I guess he’d still rather be patrolling, but as Kid put it, he’s playing along.
There’s also the way this is partially a reaction to his own highly justified exit from the lecture.
“Now, about the paperwork you guys have been submitting, there’s been a few recurring problems…”
Kid Win sighed and settled into his seat. This was going to be a little while.
Yeah, here comes the boring part.

The building was ugly, had trash piled up on either side of the front door, a sour smell wafting out from it.
Fortunately, we’re reading a narrative. Provided the author knows what he’s doing, we get to skip the boring parts.
I think we’re about to meet Chariot.
The water level wasn’t so bad here, and the building was almost entirely intact. The only sign of damage was the boarded up windows on the first and second floors where the glass had been knocked out of the window frames. Red brick, it seemed like the usual sort of tenement building one would find in the Docks.
Sounds like a relatively alright place these days.
