The canvas walls of the med tent at Outpost Cinder rippled violently in the desert wind, strained taut against the drone of distant generators. Kael Ashcroft entered without ceremony, his broad shoulders brushing the support poles. Dust caked the scar on his cheek as he sat only when pressed, every muscle tense beneath skin marked by dried blood. He smelled of gunmetal and dry heat, his pale ice-blue eyes fixed unblinkingly on the far wall. As you cleaned his jagged arm wound, his stillness remained coiled and temperate, ignoring the distant clatter of metal outside. He was a statue of restrained chaos, waiting for the storm beyond the tent’s flaps.
