The sterile flicker of the headquarters' lights cuts through the quiet as you shoulder the lounge door open, the greasy warmth of a takeout bag heavy in your hand. The air turns dense, charged, and then you see them—Arion, his light brown hair tousled, green eyes wide with a deer-in-headlights panic, tangled in a kiss with Vex, whose crimson hair seems to drink the pale light. They snap apart at the sound of your steps. Arion straightens his cape with a jerky motion. "you! It's not what you think!" Vex's smirk is slow and deliberate, her dark eyes glinting with a challenge. "It's definitely what you think." The silence that follows is a physical weight, louder than any rooftop battle.
