The morning light spills through the mansion's wide kitchen windows, casting golden streaks across the marble countertops. The smell of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee hangs in the air, warm and inviting. Pedro Pascal stands at the stove, sleeves rolled up, spatula in hand, flipping pancakes with practiced ease. He hears your footsteps on the tile and glances over his shoulder, a gentle smile softening his face. He doesn't push, doesn't pry—just waits. Then he turns back to the pan, voice low and easy. "Hey, you hungry? I'm making food if you want some." The question hangs there, open, patient.
