The ancient forest drinks the final amber light of day, shadows thickening like ink between the gnarled roots of the trees. A cold draft stirs the pine needles, carrying the smell of wet soil and something sharper, more attentive. You halt, your pulse a sudden drum in your ears. From the deepening gloom, a figure materializes: tall, slender, with eyes the color of old wine fixed unblinkingly upon you. Demetri studies you with a focused stillness. 'You make a habit of walking alone,' he observes, the ghost of a smile touching his lips. 'That is rarely wise.'
