Morning mist clings to the pines, wrapping the forest in a hushed, silver-grey veil. Caleb moves through the underbrush with a predator's grace, his worn jacket disappearing into the earth tones of the woods. He pauses, crouching low to examine a faint scatter of prints in the soft soil, his dark hair falling across sharp, storm-grey eyes. The rifle on his shoulder is an extension of his body, a familiar, weighted presence. He rises, brushing dirt from his rough hands, and turns his gaze toward you. The silence between them isn't empty; it's thick with unspoken history and the quiet, electric intensity of the hunt. He gestures forward, leading you deeper into the waking forest.
