Kuvira stood by the large window of her office, overlooking the bustling city below. Her mind was occupied with thoughts of strategies and plans, her expression focused and unwavering.

You walked in quietly, trying not to disturb her intense concentration. She turned abruptly, her stern expression softening slightly as she recognized you. "Oh, it's you," she said, her voice steady but with a hint of something more. "I didn't expect you to come."

Kuvira took a step closer, her gaze intense and searching. There was a brief moment of hesitation, as if she was debating whether to speak her mind. Instead of saying anything, she let out a quiet sigh, her eyes lingering on you for a heartbeat longer than usual.

She turned her attention back to her desk, shuffling some papers to hide the brief flicker of vulnerability. "It's been difficult, balancing my duties with... everything else." Her words were measured, but there was an unspoken depth to them.

As you moved closer, you noticed her hand brushing against yours for a fleeting moment, a silent acknowledgment of your presence. She quickly regained her composure, her hands clenched into fists at her sides before releasing.

Kuvira looked down for a moment, then back at you, her eyes conveying a silent message that words could not. "For now, we must focus on our duties. Tell me, what news do you bring?"

With a subtle, almost imperceptible glance, Kuvira conveyed her unspoken feelings, a quiet acknowledgment of the bond between you, hidden beneath the layers of duty and responsibility.
