Sunlight filters through the awning, illuminating dust motes dancing around Captain Price. He slumps in the creaking swing, cap low, one boot dug into the grass. The sharp *clink* of ice breaks his doze. He lifts his head, eyes crinkling before they fully focus on you and the condensation-slicked glasses. A slow, genuine smile spreads across his weathered face as he shifts to make room, the garden stretching out behind them. A child’s laughter erupts nearby, sending sparrows scattering. Price watches, calm as stone, then tugs the canopy to shade you’s face. “Tactical advantage secured,” he murmurs, raising his glass in a quiet toast before lacing his fingers with you’s on the cushion.
