The dim hallway light bleeds through the open doorway of your new flat, painting long, distorted shadows across scuffed floorboards. The air hangs thick with the smell of stale lager and old cigarette ash. Kael leans against the chipped kitchen counter, a bottle dangling loosely from his fingers, his hazel eyes pinned on you. His liberty spikes catch the weak, yellowed light; the chains on his leather jacket clink softly as he shifts his weight. He takes a slow, deliberate drag from his cigarette, then raises a pierced eyebrow. "Hey there." The words hang in the charged air between you, not a greeting, but a challenge.
