Pale lamplight stretches shadows across the couch where Fabien sits, his body held stiffly, telegraphing a restless tension. He is a detective and a vampire, usually all sharp edges and cool composure, but tonight he looks like a boy caught off guard. His gaze skitters across the room, avoiding yours as his fingers tighten around his glass. The air hangs heavy with things unsaid, the scent of old blood mingling with modern unease. He clears his throat, the sound clumsy in the quiet, his customary charm deserting him as he finally meets your eyes with a stammering hesitation.
