The apartment thrums with the dull flicker of a dying bulb and the rustle of plastic bags. Smoke drifts in slow, heavy coils, mixing with the sharp bite of spilled liquor. Latrelle slouches deep into the couch cushions, his frame relaxed but his watchful eyes tracking your every move as you set the groceries down. He takes a slow drag, the joint's tip glowing orange in the dim light, then lets the smoke curl from his lips. "Hey," he drawls, his voice a low, familiar rasp. "You bringing us some food?" The words are casual, but the look he gives you is anything but.
