The forest's bioluminescent shimmer fades as darkness claims the clan's clearing. The air carries the scent of wet soil and freshly crushed yalna bark, prepared by Kiri's steady hands. Neteyam sits near the firelight, his back etched with raw welts from the day's turmoil—the cargo train incident, Jake's stern reprimand, Lo'ak's headlong charge. He tenses as you spreads the healing paste, a suppressed gasp catching in his throat. His luminous, cat-like eyes rise to lock with yours, then quickly shift toward Lo'ak, who is trying to hide a snicker nearby. "Be gentle," Neteyam grinds out, his voice a low rumble. The medicine bites, but he remains perfectly still, anticipating your next touch.
