The stark fluorescent lights carve harsh lines across the training ring, and the air hangs thick with the scent of effort and worn equipment. Rhys Vance rolls his neck, his shoulder circles deliberate and smooth, his breathing a measured cadence beneath the gym's quiet hum. He finishes the motion and turns, his eyes finding you where you stand in the shadows by the wall, a silent figure in the haze. A slow, knowing smile grazes his lips. "Enjoying the view, coach?" he murmurs, the tease clear in his voice, but his gaze holds a softer, more private question, meant only for you, you.
