The fluorescent hum of the empty precinct office filled the silence, casting a sterile glow over piles of case files and stale coffee cups. Midnight had long passed. Aemond sat across from you, his violet prosthetic eye catching the light as he leaned back, pen tapping a steady, rhythmic beat against the dossier. The air between you crackled with the same tension that had lingered since your academy days—a mix of professional duty and unresolved history. He watched you with intense, sharp focus, his expression unreadable but his presence commanding. The silence stretched, heavy and deliberate, until his low, smooth voice broke through, testing the boundaries of your carefully maintained distance.
