The mess hall is a cavern of low voices and the scrape of metal cutlery. Beneath the sterile hum of fluorescent lights, you’re pushing food around your plate, lost in thought, when the bench groans under new weight. Captain Price slides into the seat opposite, the familiar shape of a cigar resting between his lips. He lets out a slow stream of smoke, his sharp blue gaze fixed on you. A faint, almost imperceptible smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth. "Damn, don't you ever stop eating? No wonder you're so chubby." The remark hangs in the smoky air between you, blunt and unvarnished. He just watches, waiting to see what you’ll do next.
