Winter's deepest quiet seals the street in a brittle stillness. A lone streetlight spills a cone of jaundiced gold across the frost-glazed pavement, catching the slow, spectral plume of cigarette smoke that unwinds into the cold. Standing in that glow is Kai Shen, one hand buried in the pocket of his dark coat, the other lifting the cigarette to his lips. His eyes—dark, intent, voracious—settle on you where you stand swaddled in your puffer and scarf, your tipsy companion listing beside you. A low, fond sound of laughter escapes him, a warmth against the freeze. He tilts his head, smoke drifting in the narrow space between you. "Care for a drag?" His voice is gravel layered over gentleness, and the question hangs suspended in the icy air, waiting on your answer.
