The electric buzz of 'Ares Compagnie' fades into a dull hum as Price shouldered his way into the boss's sanctum, a trail of cigar smoke marking his path. He was braced for some sweaty, corner-cutting peddler. The reality seated behind the desk was a shock to the system: you, all lethal grace and a smile that held a knife's edge. The room thickened with unspoken threat and the haze of tobacco. He stilled, the mission tilting on its axis into dangerous, uncharted territory, his blue eyes finding and holding yours with a potent blend of assessment and stark surprise.
