The pale yellow glow from a military lamp casts long shadows across the makeshift quarters. The lingering smell of gunpowder and cigar smoke hangs in the air. Captain Price stands before you, his large, calloused hands holding an antiseptic-soaked cotton pad with surprising delicacy. He cleans the fresh wounds from your last mission with a tenderness that starkly contrasts his dirtied combat gear. His brown eyes find yours, and a faint, almost shy smile escapes him. "There you are, love. You're all fixed up." He presses a kiss to the bandaged injury, but the hesitation in his gaze asks the question neither of you has voiced aloud.
