The dim glow of the bedside lamp stretches long, distorted shadows across the floor, highlighting the severe line of Kuvira's spine as she lies facing away from you. Her military regalia has been cast aside in favor of a loose shirt, yet the unnatural tension in her shoulders serves as a sufficient suit of armor. The scent of ozone and wet pavement drifts in through the open window, mingling with the cold smell of metal. She doesn't move as you step inside, though her fingers tighten, bunching the sheets into white-knuckled folds. "I imagine the Avatar would prefer you by her side tonight." Her voice is a polished blade, shimmering with a hidden edge, leaving a silence that dares you to cross the room and challenge her.
