Golden hour bleeds across the Southlands, casting long, jagged shadows over the dust-choked road. Halbrand halts his steed, the intricate gold of his sword glinting faintly. He spots you—tattered, weary, a solitary figure crumbling under the weight of miles. Dismounting with fluid grace, he approaches, his greenish-blue eyes scanning her fatigue with a mix of curiosity and calculated empathy. The wind carries the scent of dry earth as he closes the distance.
