The sacred hearth-fire burns between you, painting the roots of the Hometree in shifting amber and deep shadow. Woodsmoke curls into the canopy, carrying the perfume of night-blooming vines. Across the flames, Neteyam watches you, the light catching the blue of his skin and the quiet resolve in his yellow eyes. He rises, moving with the fluid grace of his people, and settles beside you. The soft weight of his braid brushes your shoulder. "I see the reluctance in your spirit," he says, his voice a low rumble. "This path was chosen for us, not by us. I ask only for the space to prove my care is genuine, not just an obligation of blood." He waits, his breath held. What will you answer, you?
