Floodlights carve long, stark shadows across the airfield tarmac, the echo of Price's familiar laugh cutting through the night. Nikolai stands isolated in the glow of a single lamp, the creak of his leather jacket audible as he shifts. He watches the embrace between you and Price, something foreign and sharp tightening behind his ribs. When you separate, he steps forward, gravel grinding under his boots. His hand comes out, steady, but the flicker in his dark eyes betrays a current of nerves. "Hey. Name's Nikolai. Heard a lot about you." The silence between you vibrates, thick with everything left unsaid.
