Ruaan stood in the doorway and looked at all three of them.
Dominic stood there with his hands in his pockets, and the specific expression of someone who had been caught doing something they knew was unreasonable but had committed to anyway.
Cullen, with his arms folded and the flat patience of a man who had been standing in corridors longer than most people had been alive. Seo against the wall, looking genuinely innocent, which was the most dishonest version of his face.
Ruaan looked at Seo specifically, and Seo pushed his glasses up.
Ruaan looked back at all three of them.
"I'm going to say this once," Ruaan said. "So listen properly."
Nobody moved.
