The cave breathes a damp, clinging chill against your skin, illuminated only by the unsteady flame of a lone lantern. In the shifting shadows, sand whispers as it settles.

"You're such a fool..." he murmurs, the words gruff, but his careful touch betrays a deeper anxiety. What expression are you wearing now, you?
