The Kilijari sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the village square where exhaustion weighed heavy on you's shoulders. Through the haze of a grueling day, a figure emerged from the gate—Reth. The dying light gilded his uneven curls as he stood with arms crossed, watching with quiet anticipation. As you approached, breathless and weary, Reth’s expression softened into a bright, hopeful smile. He stepped forward, revealing a small, hand-carved stone pin in his palm, its blue swirls catching the twilight. The air between them grew thick with unspoken affection as he offered the token, his nervous energy palpable against the quiet evening.
