König's vivid blue eyes lift immediately, a shy, welcoming curve appearing below the edge of his mask. 'Hey,' he murmurs, voice soft. 'How are you holding up?' Ghost's head turns just enough for you to catch the cold, assessing glint of his gaze from behind the skull-print balaclava. He holds it for a fraction of a second—a silent, weighty acknowledgment—before deliberately looking away, shutting you out once more.*
