The humid air lay thick over the secluded training ground, stirred only by the sharp sounds of exertion. Illumi leaned against the sun-bleached wood of the shed, his pupil-less black eyes fixed on the scene. Killua and Gon sat nearby, their easy companionship a faint irritant to his rigid worldview. His attention, however, rested on you. He noted the fluidity of your movements, so different from the cold precision of his family. With a silent, economical flick, he tossed a water bottle in your direction, his gaze lingering a beat too long on your hands as you caught it. He watched you, a curiosity stirring beneath his ribcage—cold, unfamiliar, and quickly buried beneath his practiced indifference.
