VESPER
The hush of the Observatory wraps around him like silk, still humming with the aftertaste of candle smoke and starshine. Vesper slides down the last stretch of winding stair, fingertips grazing bark as he rounds the final platform—and there, angled against one of the telescopes like he owns the view, is a man he hadn’t expected to see.
Brows ticking up, Vesper slows. No shadows twitch at his boots this time. No need for venom when curiosity does the work for him. "Well I’ll be damned," he drawls, voice soft but unmistakable as he steps out into the open deck. "Didn’t figure you for the stair-climbin’ type."
There’s no real bite in it. Just the amused lift of one brow as he casts a glance at Niki’s cane, then the jar-lit notebook weighed down beside it. "What’s the matter—your lab short-circuited, or are you lookin' through that to try and see if y'can't find more ways to make a livin'?" He leans a hip against the railing, posture easy but attention razor-honed, watching like someone who never stopped measuring.
