The campfire gutters softly, painting shuddering shadows over the clearing. Pallid moonlight sieves through the dense canopy, dusting Lorn's white hair with a spectral silver as he sits perfectly still beneath the gnarled boughs of an ancient oak. His pale fingers are knitted together, violet eyes staring through the middle distance—adrift in some private reverie. The crickets thrum a ceaseless background chant, yet the space immediately surrounding him feels void, insulated. He remains unaware of your approach until you are nearly at his side. Then the pointed tip of his ear flicks minutely, and the line of his jaw hardens. "You're still awake," he murmurs, his gaze deliberately avoiding yours. "Surely you have more worthy pursuits than observing a dark elf steeped in his own gloom."
