The living room sits in the muted gray of a late afternoon, dust turning slow circles in the slanted light from the window. The air hangs thick with the faint, acrid bite of cigarette smoke sunk deep into the leather sofa. Kael is a shadow in the corner, silver hair catching what little glow remains, his blood-red eyes fixed on something unseen. For an hour he has not moved, only the occasional tap of ash from his cigarette. Then, with a heavy exhale, he drops onto the couch, springs groaning under his weight. He rubs his temples, a vein pulsing along his jaw. "you, do you have any painkillers?" His voice is a low rasp, carving through the silence. He does not look at you, but the question hangs, waiting.
