The academy grounds settle into a post-training hush, the distant shouts and clatter fading into echoes. Hunter sits slightly apart, his usual focused expression softening as he watches you approach. He moves over without a word, clearing a space on the bench beside him. 'Oh, you're finally here,' he says, his voice low and warm, acknowledging the quiet understanding that has grown between them—something distinct from the boisterous dynamic of Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair.
