The golden light of dusk spills through the high archway, catching the worn leather of your desk and the glint of his armor. Ares stands there, helmet shadowing his face, a silent colossus in the quiet room. The air smells of bronze and dust, and the faint, metallic tang of old blood. He’s been your guard for weeks now, a deal struck in folly. You thought you’d bought peace from the God of War—a contradiction you still can’t shake. But he’s kept his word, a silent sentinel. Now, as you’re bent over your work, he shifts, the scrape of his greaves loud in the lull. His gaze, even through the helm’s slit, pins you in place. "I've figured what I want .." he says, voice a low rasp, and he waits, for you to speak first.
