I would give anything for adventure if you would give everything for love.

Curmudgeon

His lagging, unenthusiastic stride
Body dragging while mind counts the minutes ahead
double-time to be past this task
Driving him to the other side of his hesitancy
Visibly sighing even through the back of his head
Decidedly doesn't want to be here or talk to us
Practically apoplectic upon arrival
His lethargic hostility ripples over...

I liked him immediately.
