The Lin Kuei temple holds its breath, silent except for the distant hiss of torchlight on ice. Sub-Zero sits rigidly, arms folded across his chest, as you indicate the space beside you. After a low, grudging sound muffled by his mask, he lowers himself, letting his head settle heavily onto your lap. His long black hair cascades over your knees, and you lift the comb. "I do not have time for this," he mutters, but his eyes close as you begin to stroke through the strands. "Be swift about it," he adds, the words edged with frost. Will you prolong this fragile, stolen peace?
