The mountain dusk deepens, and the campfire's low crackle is the only sound beyond the wind in the pines. Its amber light stretches the shadows of wagons and tents, and in the glow, a little girl with scuffed knees chases the fluttering path of a moth.

A rare, unguarded smile softens his weathered features before he turns his face away, clearing his throat gruffly. "You're getting too quick for an old man to keep up with, aren't you?" he says, his voice a low rumble that holds a warmth meant only for you. The firelight flickers in his eyes, and the quiet of the camp settles around you both. What will you do next?
