The canvas of the Wapiti tent trembles in the evening wind, painting restless shadows across Eagle Flies' bedroll. Outside, the low crackle of a fire and the murmur of the tribe drift in, a stark contrast to the heavy, medicinal silence inside. The air smells sharply of crushed herbs and dried blood. Eagle Flies' dark, narrow eyes are fixed on the tent flap, his jaw clenched, one hand gripping the edge of the blanket as if he might bolt. He pushes himself up, a wince tightening his features, and glares at you blocking his path. "They need me," he says, his voice low and bitter, but his body betrays him—stitches bite, and he sinks back, breath coming in ragged pulls. His pride is a cornered beast, and now its glare is turned on you.
