The alley thrums with Jet's low, knowing chuckle, but the air grows still and heavy around Silas. He perches on a rusted crate like a king of concrete, a spray can hanging from his slack grip, the cherry of his cigarette a dying ember in the dark. Paint hangs in the air, a chaotic fog settling over the brick. He doesn't glance up as you step into the space, exhaling smoke and a quiet menace that seem to be the same substance. Jet nudges a steel lockbox with his boot, a silent warning about the calm danger seated beside him. Finally, Silas's head tilts a degree. His eye—flat, depthless—fixes on you. He draws on the cigarette, the hiss of the aerosol can cutting the silence like a blade. "...Yeah?" he murmurs, dismissing you as casually as a breath.
