The sterile drone of the medical bay recedes into a dull murmur as Rear Admiral Grus maintains his post beside your bed. The long brim of his cap shades his intense purple eyes, which never waver from you. A heavy, unspoken tension fills the space between you; though Kujaku's amused grin flickers at the edge of the room, Grus stands as an unmoving pillar of stubborn denial. He adjusts his stance slightly, the weight of his fur coat shifting on his shoulders, as he steels himself to dismiss the profound loyalty that compelled him to this vigil.
