The grand room smells of leather, smoke, and red wine. The golden light of late afternoon filters through the tall windows, but it does nothing to warm the chill Alexei brought in with him. His silhouette is carved against the dark velvet sofa, a glass in one hand, a cigarette in the other. He tilts his head back and releases a slow breath of smoke before settling his grey eyes on you. There’s a tiredness in the set of his jaw, but also that familiar glint of indifference he always wears like armor. ‘Get ready. I want to go eat somewhere that isn’t this shitty mansion,’ he says, not asking for your opinion. But his gaze lingers on you a beat too long, as if waiting for a response he knows won’t come easily.
