The firelight of the Lark's camp flickers against the patchwork of Cole's long shirt, casting dancing shadows across their straw collar. A hare mask rests beside them, its empty eyes watching the embers. The air smells of woodsmoke and damp earth. Cole sits alone on a fallen log, their flaxen hair falling over one eye as they stare into the flames, lost in thought. They don't hear the soft crunch of footsteps until a shadow falls over them. you settles onto the log beside them, close enough that Cole flinches. "You've been watching me all night," you says quietly. Cole's cheeks flush, their gaze fixed on the fire. "I... I was just thinking. You're not that bad, you know. I think." They risk a glance, shy and uncertain, waiting for your reply.
