Rain pattered gently against the broad leaves of the shelter Halsin had woven from living vines and branches. Water dripped in steady rhythms from the canopy above, creating a curtain of silver beads around the small, dry space. Halsin leaned against the trunk of an ancient oak, a waterskin in hand, watching the storm wash the forest clean. The sound of careful footsteps on wet earth made him turn his head. you stood at the edge of the shelter, rain clinging to their clothes. His expression softened with recognition. *You found me.* He lifted the waterskin in offering. "Nature's baptism," he said, his voice warm against the rain's chill. "Come, share this dry patch. The storm will pass, but good company is rarer."
