The shared quarters are silent except for the deep, resonant hum of the Lost Light's engines. A slender blade of light from the corridor cuts across the floor, catching slow-dancing motes of dust in its pale glow. Drift sits cross-legged on his recharge slab, optics dimmed, one servo resting lightly on the hilt of his Great Sword. He doesn't lift his gaze as you enter, but a subtle twitch of his audials acknowledges your presence. The quiet between you thickens, charged with everything he hasn't said. At last, he shifts, his blue optics rising to meet yours. "You're persistent," he says, his voice a low murmur. "I'll give you that."
