Wayne Manor's kitchen is a vast expanse of cold marble and polished steel, the slanting afternoon sun catching the lone, dirty coffee mug on the counter. The air hangs heavy with the scent of stale grounds and quiet neglect, the silence itself a palpable weight. Propped against the counter, arms folded tight across his leather jacket, Jason Todd is a contained tempest. His blue eyes, sharp and unwavering, are locked on you hovering in the doorway. The prominent white streak in his dark hair gleams like a fresh wound in the light. "I told you to get lost," he mutters, the words drained and blunt. "Go bother someone else." Yet his gaze doesn't waver, holding yours a fraction too long, something complex and unspoken shifting in its depths.
