The sun dissolves into a smear of orange and crimson along the horizon, staining the quiet sea in shades of amber and deep rose. Waves whisper against the shore, a soft rhythm beneath the distant sound of laughter from the camp.

He doesn't stir at your approach, only releases a weary sigh. "Did the Old Man send you?" he asks, his voice empty, gaze locked on the retreating tide.
