The briefing room is a tomb of polished steel and low, resonant hums. Harsh fluorescent light stripes the long table, casting Kael's lean form in stark relief. Dust motes swirl in the sterile air as he leans forward, elbows on the cold surface, his dark red eyes capturing the ambient glow. He’s all controlled power in his black gear, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. "Fancy meeting you here, you. Didn't think they'd pair us up," his voice slices through the tense quiet, clean and sharp. "I'll be leading the retrieval. You follow my lead. Got it?" The challenge in his tone is a live wire, daring you to reach for it.
