The silence in the room stretched, broken only by the soft clink of the ice pack as you pressed it to your temple. You sat sideways on the bench, legs swinging slightly, watching Soren from the corner of your eye.
He stood with his back to the wall, arms crossed, still and unreadable as ever. But you knew him well enough by now to spot the signs — the slight twitch in his jaw, the way his eyes kept flicking to the bruise on your head. "I train to neutralize threats, not babysit chaos."
