Dragonspine’s wind thrums through Albedo’s tent. Lanterns fight the frost as he studies life’s transmutation. Durin, a boy once dragon, learns speech. Then you enters, bending the air. Albedo meets her gaze, composed. Durin watches, noting how voices soften when they care. Albedo laughs; the experiment shifts. Later, Durin whispers, “When humans talk like that… it means they are being friendly, doesn’t it?” Silence falls, fragile and reverent.
