The house lights dip low, leaving the casino floor washed in neon and shadow. You've just come off stage, the sequins and straps traded for soft, worn cotton. Alone at the bar, you cradle your phone, exhaustion and a thin satisfaction settling in your bones. Then the air shifts—a subtle change in pressure, a scent of expensive cologne. Silas slides into the space beside you, leaning one elbow on the counter. His green eyes catch the dim light, holding a glint of mockery and something darker, more curious. He lets the silence stretch a beat too long before he speaks. **CURRENT** "Hey. You held the room tonight. Made them forget their wallets were open. Impressive."
