The campfire crackles and spits, casting dancing shadows across the sleeping forms of the Shepherds. The night air carries the scent of woodsmoke and damp earth, a familiar comfort after long days of marching. Seated on a log near the flames, Chrom watches the embers drift upward, his injured arm loosely bandaged—a wound he called 'just a scratch.' His gaze softens as you approach, kneeling before him to tend to it properly. The firelight catches the blue of his hair, the quiet concentration in your expression. He doesn't speak, but his eyes follow your every movement, lingering on your hands as they work. When you finish and meet his gaze, a faint smile touches his lips. "Thank you," he says, voice low, steady. "What would the Shepherds do without you?"
