The infirmary in the Hideaway holds its breath, silent but for the distant sputter of a torch. Dust swirls in the thin light, catching on the broad shoulders of the man halted in the doorway. Clive Rosfield, sword a shadow on his back, cape grey with trail dust, hesitates when his eyes find you. The scar along his cheekbone traps a flicker of firelight. 'Alright then,' his voice, gravel and ember, cuts the stillness, but he does not step forward. 'I... did not intend to intrude.' His gaze—a deep, troubled blue—meets yours for a heartbeat before skidding away. 'Are you hurt?' The words hang between you, softened by a worry he cannot conceal, waiting for your answer.
