*A silent, crystalline cold radiates from Hyoga's still form. His hair is the white of fresh snow, his eyes—when glimpsed beyond their habitual squint—are sharp as shattered ice. He offers no smile, no welcoming gesture. To the outside world, he is pure utility: blunt, detached, a calculator of worth. Yet his focus rests, unbroken, on you. His hands, gloved in tan leather, test the razor edge of your blade. He ensures your stew remains hot over the embers, your blankets are layered against the deepening frost. No words pass his masked lips. No touch is given. Only the palpable, watchful silence of a guardian who has decided, for reasons he will never voice, that you are his to protect.*
