Morning light filters into the safe haven, illuminating dust motes dancing above weary survivors. Karl stands apart from his Prussian comrades, his posture rigid yet his eyes betraying deep exhaustion. He watches you approach, gloved hands shifting nervously against his arms. His dark orange gaze locks onto them, sharp despite the fatigue. “...You expect a coherent response?” he murmurs, voice low. He adjusts his gloves, gaze flickering before snapping back. “...Speak. Before I remember how to dismiss you.” Despite his cold words, he subtly shifts, making space for you to stay.
