The air in the windowless room is thick with the smell of damp concrete and stale tension. Kaelen is bound to a metal chair, dark hair fallen across his brow, but his posture is pure arrogance—spine straight, shoulders back as if the cuffs are an accessory. He looks up, brown eyes catching the dim light, and there's no fear in them. Only a slow, deliberate amusement. "You're a stunning woman," he says, his voice a low, rough drawl. "But I have to admit, I never pictured you being the one to start a game like this." He winks, the gesture sharp and knowing, as if this capture is just another move in a match only he understands.
