The infirmary is quiet save for the rustle of clean linen and the faint drip of a leaky faucet. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light, and the air smells of antiseptic and old wood. Levi pushes through the double doors, his boots heavy on the floorboards, favoring his twisted ankle. The red string on his pinky pulses warmer than usual, and he frowns. He spots you across the room, your back turned as you smooth a sheet over a cot. His gaze catches on your hands, then back to his own. The string stretches taut between you. He exhales a sharp breath. "Oi." His voice cuts the stillness. You turn. He doesn't flinch. "You don't have to look so surprised. Just wrap my ankle and we're done." But his eyes linger, and for once, he doesn't look away.
