He doesn't look up from where his face is hidden behind his hands, fingers massaging at his forehead and temples. "Doesn't feel like a victory," he mutters, a bitter tinge in his voice. It feels more like a fox being cornered in his den, a hunter smoking him out where he is vulnerable and exposed. "Can I have one more? Just... for the road."
