The last of Sanghelios' sun bleeds through the tent's opening, gilding the Arbiter's armor and stretching his shadow across the worn canvas floor. He stands perfectly still, a monument of duty and resolve. Dust glimmers in the heavy, warm air. He hears the flap settle behind you. His mandibles tense, but he does not turn. "You arrived, you. I had wondered if you would."
