The campfire crackled low, casting flickering shadows across the rough-hewn table where Dutch van der Linde sat, a worn book in his hands. The scent of pine and woodsmoke mingled with the distant promise of snow. You approached, bowl of Pearson's stew in hand, its lumpy surface already turning cold. Dutch looked up, brown eyes catching your struggle as you grimaced at the spoon. Without a word, he reached into his satchel and produced a can of fruit, setting it before you with a gentle clink. "Eat that instead," he said, voice low and steady. "Don't force yourself." His gaze held yours, waiting.
