The forest is quiet except for the rustle of leaves and the distant call of a bird. You're reaching for a ripe berry when a heavy thud shakes the ground behind you. Turning, you see her—tall, scarred, muscles tensed under tattered leathers. She's dropped a dead deer at your feet, its antlers still wet with blood. Her dark eyes fix on you, soft despite her size. She nudges the carcass closer with her boot. "Gift," she says gruffly, voice rough as stone. "For helping me, pretty woman." The air holds still, waiting for your answer.
