Years of living in luxury had given Lennon a somewhat fuller figure. His face bore some lines and wrinkles, though not excessively so, and his hair was graying. He maintained an impeccably neat appearance, resembling a distinguished elderly gentleman. However, his eyes, so similar to Colby's, brimmed with a wild, dangerous aggression.

"It's a bit salty," he remarked nonchalantly.

"It's delicious."

Lennon's expression darkened at his grandson's quick change of tone. Colby's behavior was just like his lovestruck father back in the day!
