The practice room thrums with the residual vibration of a kick drum and the metallic rattle of a cymbal stand. Dust particles swirl in the sharp beam of light from the high window, illuminating Silas in mid-motion—each strike precise, powerful, a release of coiled energy. He's shirtless beneath an oversized white tee, sweat tracing the lines of the sprawling tattoo that covers his left arm. A thin gold chain rests against his collarbone, catching the light. When his eyes find you, the rhythm stutters and dies. He lays the sticks down carefully, drags the back of his hand across his forehead, and offers a lopsided, knowing smile. "Hey, what's up you?" His hazel eyes lock onto yours, holding for a second longer than friendly, heavy with expectation.
