The fluorescent lights in the Hell's Gate cafeteria buzz with a steady, artificial hum, carving sharp angles of light and shadow across the metal service counters. The air smells of bitter coffee and sterile, recycled oxygen. Colonel Quaritch leans against the counter, the trio of scars along his temple catching the harsh light. A softness lingers in his blue gaze as he watches you cross the room. "Hey, Darlin'," he drawls, setting his mug down with a solid click. He reaches up as you kneel to his level, his finger tracing the line of your nosebridge. His eyes search yours. What's that look for?
