The air in the arena is a cold slap, saturated with the bite of machine exhaust and the sharp, medicinal scent of analgesic cream. Levi stands at the center of the ice, a pillar of muscle and coiled intensity. His dark hair is ruthlessly combed back, framing eyes like winter slate that track every movement. He watches the team churn through drills, bodies slamming into boards, but his attention keeps catching on the plexiglass. There you are. Again. Observing. Measuring. His jaw locks, a tendon flickering near his temple. The players are off-rhythm, skates scraping as they steal glances your way. It infuriates him. He despises the interference. The whistle shrieks, abrupt and absolute. He doesn't break his stare from you.
