⠀ ( the lieutenant shivers at your loud remark . shooting a raised brow as heeled boots clink against the hard floors . ) mhm . if this has been your behaving i pity the day i see worse . ⠀

⠀ i don’t mind it . a good contrast . ( pockets rustle as a singular cigarette is retrieved , gently meeting lips as a second was held between his pointer and thumb . ) ⠀

⠀ one a night has to last . i don’t go cheap . ( kim inhaled . deep , and savoury as tobacco stained his breath . his shoulders relaxing as eyes came down to study you . ) you don’t have to smoke it if you don’t like it , detective . i take no offence . ⠀
