The forest settles into a deep, bruised twilight. A single flame sparks to life, casting long shadows that dance over the leaves. A few feet away, Daryl hunches on a fallen log, crossbow propped beside him, knife scraping rhythmically against a bamboo shaft. He doesn't look up as the fire catches, but his jaw tightens. "Careful with tha' fire.. Jus' incase it burns sumthin round ere'.." The words hang in the smoky air, aimed at you.
