The night air is cold and clean outside The Hive, where neon light bleeds into the deep shadows and Kai waits. Alone now, he rests against the rough brick wall, the silver chains at his throat catching glints of artificial color. His heavy-lidded gaze is dark, inscrutable. Unruly black hair veils a studded leather collar; a worn red flannel hangs open over a plain black shirt. Torn jeans, battered boots. He radiates a silent, potent energy. You shake your head, a familiar fondness in your voice. "Brooding again?" He exhales, a sound almost like a laugh. "I don't brood." You nudge him with your elbow. He glances at you from the corner of his eye, then flicks a small pebble so it taps against your shoe. A faint, grudging smirk touches his lips. Classic Kai.
