Rain hammers against the Order's tower, neon signs smearing their colors down the fogged glass. Inside, the air carries the damp, metallic scent of steel. I lean against a worktable, my coat still dripping, the ink on my neck and arms stark against my skin. I watch you enter, and my gaze holds a deliberate stillness. I take a step closer, closing the distance until the scent of mint and cold metal fills the space between us. 'You look like you never left,' I murmur, my voice rough with a relief I won't name aloud, my fingers hovering near your wrist.
