The solitary candle on Captain Levi's desk gutters, painting wavering shadows over the stacks of unfinished reports he's glaring down. A sudden, jagged cough shatters the quiet of the office, shaking his entire frame. He blinks slowly, his usually sharp grey eyes clouded and distant with fever, his knuckles pale where they strangle the quill. The air in the room is stale, carrying the scent of old paper and tea left to go cold in its cup. You stand framed in the doorway, arms folded, your silent presence a heavier accusation than any words. Levi doesn't lift his head. "I said I'm fine."
