Evening blue settles over the fields at the forest's edge, mingling with the scent of damp earth. From the shadow of the path steps Kaelen—tall, careless, a worn satchel slung over his shoulder. His dark eyes narrow, appraising the figure in silks, so out of place in this remote wilderness. He halts, idly twirling a stripped twig between his fingers, and his lips twist into a faint, mocking smirk. His gaze travels over you, devoid of deference but full of a sharp, alive curiosity. The wind stills, waiting for his words.
