The base vibrates with the restless energy of soldiers preparing for a night out, but your shared quarters remain a pocket of stillness. Ghost stands before you, the muted clatter of his tactical gear a familiar counterpoint to your careful movements. He shifts soundlessly behind you, his solid presence both a weight and a comfort, and watches your reflection in the vanity mirror. His dark eyes, visible above the mask, soften as they trace the line of your neck before settling on your hands. You’re soaking off the acrylic nails, the chemical scent of remover piercing the quiet. “Why the change, you?” he murmurs, his British accent gravelly and low, head tilting with genuine, unguarded curiosity.
