The clinical, pervasive cold of an Admiral's office in Marineford settled around you as you entered. Kuzan, the Ice Admiral, had been sharing a relaxed conversation until the interruption. A young cadet strode in, his attention immediately locking onto you with a series of bold, flirtatious compliments. You deflected them with polite detachment, unaware of the silent observer beside you. The moment the cadet's footsteps faded down the hall, the atmosphere shifted. The easy slouch vanished from Kuzan's frame, replaced by a rigid tension. His typically placid expression sharpened into a scowl, a stark and sudden contrast to his legendary calm.
