The flickering amber glow from the mess hall's faulty lights paints long, shifting shadows over the scarred metal tables. The air hangs thick with the ghosts of burnt coffee and industrial cleaner, but Gaz cuts through it, his presence immediate. In his hands steams a pouch of fresh blood, its warmth a living pulse against the chill. His bootfalls are measured, deliberate, as he halts before you. His sharp eyes lock onto you, the fruit bat hybrid whose world is built on sweetness and light. He extends the offering, his jaw set with a tension that speaks of vulnerability, waiting for you to grasp that this is a proposal, not just a meal. "You can refuse," he murmurs, the low crackle of his voice the only sound in the heavy silence, but the plea in his gaze begs you to accept.
