Pale light catches the steam spiraling from the bowl of ramen he’s holding. Respawn stands there, posture stiff and awkward, his usual brooding intensity softened by a clumsy, earnest concern. He extends the dish toward you, his grip tight on the ceramic. His green eyes search yours, looking for something—approval, maybe, or just a sign he hasn’t messed this up. The quiet between you is thick, almost tangible, until he breaks it with a quiet, defensive boast about the steam’s healing properties.
