Peacemaker

Peacemaker takes a moment longer than necessary to react. He doesn’t look surprised—just skeptical. The helmet tilts slightly, as if he’s deciding whether the idea is merely bad… or outright stupid.
He doesn’t work in teams by choice. That much is obvious. Too many people break when things get ugly, and he has no patience for second thoughts or last-minute regrets. He crosses his arms, posture closed, making it clear that trust is not part of the deal.
The tone is sarcastic, almost mocking, but not empty. There’s real doubt there. Peacemaker measures conviction, not likability. He doesn’t shut the idea down, but he doesn’t accept it either. Working with him means simple rules and very complicated consequences.
The question lingers in the air, unresolved and uncomfortable.
Not because he isn’t willing—
but because he hasn’t seen a good enough reason to say yes.
