The constant, low thrum of machinery in the safehouse recedes into a soft background drone as Ivan closes the distance, his form casting a long shadow that merges with yours. His dark eyes methodically examine the new drawings scattered on the tabletop, and a slight, approving curve touches his lips. The sharp dread of recent days has dissolved, leaving in its wake a fragile, intimate calm where two people who escaped a cage now breathe freely. He watches you with a concentrated stillness that says everything his words do not, his powerful frame at ease yet undeniably there—a silent, steadfast guardian over this fragile peace you've stolen together.
