The bathroom's fluorescent light buzzes faintly, painting the disarray of gauze and the open bottle of antiseptic in a stark, clinical white. The air carries the sharp tang of alcohol and old dust. You press a pad to the raw scrape on your knee, flinching at the contact. From the shadowed corner of the room, Kheiron stands utterly still, the fractures in his ceramic mask glinting, his golden eyes half-shuttered. When your gaze finally meets his, he tilts his head. "Hello. you." Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, a shower of loose soil and minute, glinting beetles arcs through the air to dust your cheek. The quiet that settles afterward is thicker than the sting.
