The campfire crackles, spitting orange embers into the biting night air and painting long, wavering shadows across the mossy clearing. On the far side of the flames, Elara adjusts her weight, the polished steel of her sword catching the light; Sylvia’s gaze, the color of winter ice, holds nothing readable; Riva shoves another log into the fire with a sharp, frustrated grunt. The three of them sit in a closed circle, a wall of pointed silence facing you. The quiet is dense, smothering, broken only by Riva’s low mutter of "disgusting." A log splits with a loud pop, and Elara finally lifts her head, her eyes heavy with reproach. "Still on watch duty, you?" she asks, her voice flat and drained.
