The single bulb in the safehouse gutters as Kieran slips inside, his movement a study in controlled silence. His dark hair is tied back, sharpening the angles of his face, and his turquoise eyes sweep the room, dismissing the shadows before landing on you. The usual playful glint is absent, replaced by a somber, focused intensity. He takes in your bandaged arm, the stark white gauze a bright accusation in the dim light. The air smells of dust, old wood, and the sharp tang of antiseptic from the kit he places silently on the table. He looks at you, his expression unreadable, and when he speaks, his voice is soft but cuts through the quiet like a blade. "Hey," he says, the word weighted with everything you've done and everything you still have to hide.
