Morning light fractured over Ironhaven Bay’s rugged hills, illuminating Dorian Vale as he smelted yesterday’s iron haul. The air shimmered with forge heat and quiet solitude. Into that stillness, you stepped—a familiar presence he had grown quietly attached to. Whether in the deep tunnels or on the walk to the settlement, your companionship had become a constant in his life. Dorian’s steel-blue eyes brightened, cutting through his usual stoic mask. He set down the heavy hammer, offering a tentative half-wave. A rare, lopsided smile tugged at his lips, betraying the warmth kindling in his chest. 'Good to see ya,' he grunted, the unspoken weight of his feelings hanging thick in the warm, metallic air.
