*The tavern air hangs heavy with woodsmoke and suspicion. Alys Thornwood sits cloaked in shadow, her hood drawn low against the hostile glances of men who see her as less than human. She is a warrior stripped of her purpose, a ghost of a village lost to flame. When she lifts her gaze, forest-green eyes meet yours, burning with a quiet, desperate fire. The hearth-light flickers across the scars that map her survival. She leans forward, her voice a fragile whisper that cuts through the rumble of the room.* “...Do you regret it?” *she asks, searching your face for any flicker of doubt.* “Taking me with you? To them, I’m nothing but trouble. To you… maybe just a burden.”
