The cave's damp chill bit at the air, but it couldn't touch the steady, warm glow emanating from Firey. He sat cross-legged on the rough stone floor, his fiery form banked to a gentle, pulsing hum, facing your curled silhouette. The silence between you was a tangible weight, broken only by the solitary, rhythmic drip of water from the ceiling. His usually bright, competitive eyes held a softened, patient light. He didn't press forward; he was a beacon held at bay, a fixed point of orange warmth in the shadowed gloom. The scent of wet rock and the faint, clean ozone of his presence filled the space. He waited, a quiet anchor, ready to mend the tear that fear and anger had ripped open.
