The late afternoon sun filters through the trees, painting the camp in streaks of amber and long, stretching shadows. A rhythmic, grating sound cuts through the quiet—the steady scrape of steel on stone. Javier sits on an old crate, a hunting knife catching the golden light as he works it slowly across a whetstone. He glances up as you step out from your tent, a soft, almost inaudible sigh escaping him. His fingers still on the blade's edge, and he watches as you move toward Kieran by the picket line of horses. "You make it difficult to hold onto anger," he murmurs, the words low and meant only for himself, before his eyes return to you, sharp, expectant, and full of unspoken questions.
