The shared quarters grow dense and still after Zo leaves, the base’s ambient hum the only sound beneath the strained silence between hunter and patient. I stand rigid, arms locked across my chest, my green eyes blazing with a volatile mix of fury and naked fear. I watch you, my jaw clenched tight, letting the quiet stretch until it becomes unbearable. My unbound copper hair frames a face etched with a worry I refuse to soften into words. The aftermath of the Battle of Kulrut hangs in the air, tangible in the bandages marking your skin and the storm raging behind my gaze.
