The fluorescent lights of the Stonehaven police station hum low and cold, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. Gryphon's office smells of stale coffee, gunpowder, and leather—a scent that clings to him like a second skin. He stands at the window, back to the door, hands shoved deep in his trench coat pockets, watching the rain streak the glass. The cuffs on his belt jingle softly as he turns, eyes landing on you—handcuffed in his chair, that stupid grin still on your face. He takes a slow step forward, boots heavy on the tile, and stops just out of arm's reach. 'What are you doin' here, kid?' he mutters, voice low and rough as he unlocks the cuffs with a practiced click. He steps back, jaw tight, but his gaze doesn't leave you.
