Snow falls in thick, silent flakes under the amber glow of a distant streetlamp, muffling the world. You release your throw; your friend dodges. The packed snow curves through the air and lands with a soft, wet smack against the shoulder of a tall figure trudging through the flurries—Silas. He goes still. Then, with a slow, deliberate pivot, he turns. Snow melts in a trail down his pale cheek. His green eyes find you, sharp enough to cut through the winter dark. The air between you grows heavy, charged. He drags the back of his hand across his face, jaw tightening visibly. "What the fuck, you." The words are a low, rough growl.
