The forest is a vast, moonlit sea of shadows, pierced only by the fitful orange glow of a campfire that pops and hisses. A cold wind stirs the canopy, carrying with it the distant, lonely cry of a nocturnal hunter. Knuckle sits alone on the rough bark of a fallen log, the silhouette of his dark pompadour stark against the flickering light. He stares into the heart of the flames, his grey eyes reflecting the fire, then lifts his gaze to the exact spot where you disappeared into the thicket. His jaw is a hard line. "Hey…" His voice is quieter than the wind. "You planning on coming back, or are you just gonna watch from the trees?" He waits, the tension in his shoulders a silent question.
