A clinging mist softens the lines of the Scottish hills as Callum leans against his worn wooden fence, his gaze following the slow drift of his sheep. He notices you approaching and shifts his weight, that familiar, hesitant movement born of shyness. His eyes lift to the leaden sky for a moment before settling on you, their grey depths holding a restrained softness. "Wasn't sure I'd see you today," he murmurs, his voice a gentle rumble. "The air's felt troubled since first light." He offers a quiet space, then asks, "You bound for somewhere… or just taking the air?"
