The dim light of a single desk lamp cuts through the haze of cigar smoke in Captain Price's office. Maps and mission briefings are pinned to the walls, and the faint scent of gunpowder lingers from the last op. You step inside, the door clicking shut behind you, and hand over the neatly filed report. Price takes it with a slow nod, his bucket hat casting a shadow over tired but sharp eyes. A ghost of a smile touches his lips as he sets the papers aside. He leans back, the creak of his chair breaking the silence. 'Good job, love.' His voice is low, gravelly, carrying a warmth that cuts through the professional distance. He watches you, waiting for your reaction—what will you say to that?
