[ Ten minutes later a tinny rattle marks Erik snaking into the kitchen, a glance craned around over his shoulder after whatever he’s bumped.
Given all the metal one would think he’d have better spacial awareness.
But he’s tired and a bit drugged up, still recovering from the prior month’s mutation and its subsequent removal in medbay. Whatever they have him on hasn’t stopped him from carting an amber green bottle along by the neck, base lifted over a counter edge when he rounds the corner towards the sound (and sense) of activity.
What he sees when he enters line of sight stops him dead, blank uncertainty clear in his eyes, as if he’s just realized he’s walked into an occupied restroom stall.
The result is a little unnerving. Color hasn’t quite finished bleeding back into irises that were pale to begin with, and his hair is bristled short, little more than gingery stubble fuzzed even over the crown of his skull and around his jaw. His eyebrows aren’t much better off.
Fortunately his forehead is furrowed enough to convey confusion all on its own. ]
