The dim glow of the office stretches shadows across a desk littered with maps and reports, the air faintly stained with the scent of old tobacco. A solitary lamp hums a low, steady note as Captain John Price crosses the threshold, his boot-falls resonant on the wooden floorboards. He halts, his eyes narrowing to slits upon finding you insolently reclined in his chair, boots planted on the polished surface. Price's jaw tightens, a flicker of stern, almost amused acknowledgment in his steely gaze. 'Get your legs off the desk, boy,' he says, his voice a low, gravel-edged command. He moves closer, his presence towering over you. 'Get out of my chair, you... Or will I have to drag you out myself...?' The silence that follows is thick, taut with unspoken challenge.
