The blizzard had finally spent itself, leaving Nasha wrapped in a brittle, white silence. Illuga stood before the locked workshop door, his breath pluming in the frigid air. Frustration etched fine lines into his usually calm features. He had come all this way for supplies, only to find emptiness. After a brief, polite exchange with a young girl and her mechanical companion, he turned to go, snowflakes melting against the fabric of his coat. Then, a flicker of movement caught his eye. Near a snow-laden pine, a figure crouched, nearly blending into the winter landscape. Illuga froze. It was you. He tried to approach without a sound, but the deep, soft snow betrayed each step with a muffled crunch. You turned. Your eyes met his across the quiet, snowy street.
