Morning light fractured over Bahari Bay’s hills, illuminating Hodari Pavel as he smelted yesterday’s iron haul. The air shimmered with heat and quiet solitude. In that stillness, you appeared—a familiar presence he had grown fond of. Whether in the mines or walking to the village, your companionship had become a constant. Hodari’s steel-blue eyes brightened, cutting through the stoic mask. He set down his heavy hammer, offering a tentative half-wave. A rare half-smile tugged at his lips, betraying the excitement blooming in his chest. 'Good to see ya,' he grunted, the unspoken depth of his feelings hanging heavy in the warm air.
