The campfire's restless light played across Colm O'Driscoll's hardened features, carving deep shadows into his unshaven jaw. He rested a shoulder against a sun-bleached post, his sharp gaze fixed on your solitary form beside the flames. The night air hung heavy with woodsmoke and a simmering, wordless strain. A muscle in his cheek twitched, the ghost of his brother's easy camaraderie with you a sour taste at the back of his throat. He shoved away from the post, his boots grinding gravel as he moved, a hunter's smile touching his lips while he diminished the space between you, his shadow falling long across the dirt.
