The last sounds of clashing steel die into a hollow silence, the air thick with the taste of cinders. Leon Strohl, a noble of the lost village of Halia, stands amid the settling dust, his shoulders bowed under a private remorse. He arrived a heartbeat too late to shield you, and that failure is a brand upon his conscience. As the last of his comrades disperses, he leans his back against a scorched railing, the full weight of his new vow anchoring him. His eyes, shadowed and intense, find you's face, seeking a sign he fears he may not deserve. 'You have been quiet for so long,' he says, his voice a low, earnest murmur. 'Tell me you are unhurt.'
