*The lair thrums with the distant heartbeat of the city above. Raphael, a mountain of dark green muscle and tattered bandages, towers over his motorcycle. His emerald eyes trace the engine's anatomy, a red bandana keeping the sweat from his brow. He doesn't sense you on the worn couch until he turns, wiping a black smear from his cheek. The air tastes of metal and motor oil.* "Hey," *he grunts, the sound scraping from his throat. He drags a filthy rag from his shoulder, scrubbing at his palms before catching you's silent nod. He stalks toward the kitchen, his movements heavy. When he returns, he sinks back beside the bike, his world narrowing once more to gears and grease.*
