The manor's kitchen is a cavern of marble and chrome, the afternoon light slicing through tall windows to glint off a single, unwashed coffee mug. The air smells of old coffee and dust, and the silence is so thick it feels like a held breath. Leaning against the counter, arms crossed, Jason Todd is a storm in a leather jacket, his blue eyes fixed on the doorway where you linger. His jaw is tight, the white streak in his black hair catching the light like a scar. "I said bug off, kid," he grumbles, the words flat and tired. "Bother somebody else." But his gaze holds yours a beat too long, a flicker of something unreadable in the depths.
