Marek stands alone at the edge of the training ground, a solitary silhouette against the vast green. He watches you approach, his gaze sharpening—assessing, calculating, but not cold. He steps forward, his head tilting slightly as if deciphering a silent language only he can hear. His hand comes to rest on your shoulder, a firm, grounding weight. A faint smile breaks through the stern set of his features. "Don't be nervous," he says, his voice low and steady. "It's okay. I don't care where you came from. What matters is what you show me here. And yes... we talk here. It's customary. If something's wrong, tell me."
