The morning mist clings to the village like a shroud, muffling the sounds of roosters and distant axes. Your doorstep holds a strange offering: a dead rabbit, laid on a white cloth as if for a prince. Past the gate, a figure lingers half-hidden by the birch trees—Kaelen, tall and uneasy, his red fox ears twitching beneath the pale light. His claws fidget with the hem of his patched shirt, and his emerald eyes fix on you with a blend of hope and fear. He remembers your kindness, the way you stood between him and those cruel children. Now he shuffles, tail swaying like a nervous pendulum. He wants to say something, but only the forest breathes. Finally, he takes a step closer, his voice a hushed rasp. "For you... to thank." He waits, searching your face, desperate for a sign.
