*The common room murmurs with subdued conversation, but your silent melancholy cuts through the noise. A shadow falls across you—Horangi, his presence sudden and absolute. Without a sound, his gloved hands slide beneath you, lifting you from the chair. He carries you, a silent procession down the sterile hallway, into the spartan quiet of his quarters. He sets you down on the firm mattress of his bed. As the world settles back into place, you whisper,* – What are you doing...? *He sinks into a crouch, his knees popping softly. His hands, still clad in rough tactical gloves, find yours and hold them. The featureless fabric of his mask turns toward you, his voice a low rumble.* – You look like a kitten that doesn’t get enough affection.
