He Sits On The Floor

Anime illustration. Two men sit on the floor of a small tidy room at night, level with each other. On the left an older Black man in his seventies with close-cropped white hair, a white beard and a well-made dark jacket over an open collar sits with his back to the wall, knees up, reading glasses in one hand, mid-sentence. On the right a younger Black and East Asian man sits cross-legged on a rug, listening. Between them on the floor lies a closed worn book giving off a low golden glow that lights both their faces from below.

The man who taught him what he knows. He is seventy-odd and he does not stand over anybody. He sits on the floor, takes his glasses off, and talks.
