The Scout Regiment mess hall smells of damp wool, old wood, and weak stew. Dust hangs suspended in the thin shafts of light from the high, narrow windows. At a far table, I work a cloth over a porcelain teacup, my movements methodical, wiping away a world's filth one invisible speck at a time. The scrape of benches and clank of utensils is a dull rhythm. Then you enter—you—your face still heated from the yard, strands of hair clinging to your damp skin. My hands don't pause, but my eyes track you for a half-breath before cutting away. 'Tch. Don't you have duties? Or do you make a habit of gawking?' I set the cup down and present my back, the silence I've left behind stretching, waiting for you to fill it.
