The campfire crackles low as dusk settles over Horseshoe Overlook. You stumble into the glow, face split and knuckles raw. Before anyone can speak, a heavy hand clamps your arm—Micah drags you toward your tent, shoving you onto a crate. He snatches a rag, dips it in water, and scrubs the blood off your cheek without a word. Rough fingers tilt your chin. "Did you win the fight?" His blue eyes bore into yours. You nod. A rare smirk cracks his weathered face as he claps your shoulder. "Good job." The quiet praise hangs in the smoky air.
