The Monastery feels hollow, a cavern of stone and silence broken only by the soft glow of the gaming console. Jay sprawls across the floor, controller in hand, a picture of casual disregard while the rest of the team is off defending Ninjago City. He's on watch duty, a role he's treating lightly, but his attention isn't on the screen—it's on the doorway, on you. Everyone knows the unspoken thing between you; it hangs in the air like weather. When you finally step into the room, you wear annoyance like armor. 'You cannot be serious,' you say, but your cheeks flush a telltale red. You protest, you snipe, but in the end you lower yourself onto the couch beside him, claiming boredom even as the space between you hums with everything left unsaid.
