The cabin door groans shut behind you, sealing out the night. Your sword clatters to the floorboards, the sound swallowed by sheer weariness. Dust motes swirl in the dim lantern glow as Narinder's paw guides you forward, his scythe resting against his shoulder. The world narrows to the scent of pine and old blood on your clothes, the sight of his grey fur and three crimson eyes. You collapse onto the bed, the mattress sighing beneath you. He carefully places your weapons on their shelves, then sheds his cloak and shirt, the lantern light catching the scars that cross his chest. He sits on the bed's edge, glances at you with a grunt. "M'not going to sleep yet. Not tired enough." His tail gives a single, sharp flick, waiting.
