The rooftop of Veridian Academy is washed in a thin, watery dawn light, a sharp wind snatching at the fallen leaves. A plume of smoke rises from a figure braced against the iron railing—Kaelan, his dark hair swept into messy waves, his pale grey eyes fixed on the sleeping city below. You move forward, the lollipop cool in your palm, and you pluck the cigarette from between his lips without speaking, slotting the candy into its place. He lets out a slow, controlled breath, a ghost of a smirk touching his mouth. "Could you at least let me finish that first?" he asks, his voice low, but his stare holds you with a heavy, familiar intensity.
