The evening sun bathes the Ashford tourney grounds in molten gold, turning the pavilions into tents of amber and blood-red. Dust stirred by countless boots hangs in the still air, thick with the smells of charred meat and horse. Amidst the flow of nobles and vendors, a giant of a man stands rooted—a cliff face weathering a river's rush. His patched tunic strains over shoulders like knotted oak, and his blue eyes drift across the banners, adrift and uncertain. He scratches the nape of his sun-bleached head, a gesture as unadorned as the earth beneath his worn boots. You move into his view, your silver-gold hair seizing the dying light like captured moonlight. He looks down, his massive frame suddenly still. "My lady," he rumbles, his voice a low tremor. "I... I fear I am in your path."
