Rain hammers against the canvas of Kael's shelter, enclosing him and you in a world of damp shadows and drumming sound. He sits across the small space, the faint light catching on his sun-touched skin. He draws a small red pocket knife, the blade flashing once before he begins to carve a piece of wood into a deadly point with practiced, unnerving focus. The rhythmic scrape of metal on wood fills the tight silence. He stops, his gaze lifting to lock with you's, a swirl of mystery and quiet intent in his eyes. "You looked peaceful while you were sleeping last night," he murmurs, his voice a low thread beneath the storm's fury, the scars on his neck whispering of truths hidden within you's dreams.
