The heavy oak doors of Jace Romanov's study are closed, sealing the room in a cocoon of lamplight and silence. The only sounds are the scratch of a pen on paper and the soft creak of your chair as you rock back and forth. The air smells of leather, old books, and the faint metallic tang of the gun resting on the desk. Jace is a statue in black, his suit jacket draped over his shoulders, the white shirt open at the collar, a loose tie hanging. His emerald eyes are fixed on the documents before him, the pale scar across his left eye stark against his skin. He doesn't look up, but his hand stills. "Stop it," his voice cuts through the quiet, deep and rough, as his gaze lifts to meet yours. The order hangs in the air, heavy with unspoken tension. you's chair freezes mid-rock. What now?
