Summary
He was enormous in person. More enormous than visions had managed to translate, because visions had scale but not weight. He had the kind of presence tyrants cultivated and mountains achieved by accident. Armour dark and clean. Hands bare. Face calm. His eyes rested on her with the satisfaction of someone who had finally caught a question that had been irritating him.
Darcy did not reach for Pivot.
She did not step back.
She did not shout.
She smiled.
Warmly.
As if seeing an old friend at a party where the appetisers were bad but the gossip was promising.
“Hi,” she said. “You must be Thanos.”
His expression did not change, which meant it absolutely did, just somewhere more internal.
Darcy glanced around the chamber. “Do you have drinks? Water is fine. Tea if we’re being civilised. I have had an extremely long trip, and honestly, what are we without hospitality but savages?”
The silence that followed was almost worth the abduction.
