The late afternoon sun stretches long, golden fingers across the Glade, the heavy thud of your axe biting into wood the only sound in the sudden lull of activity. You pause, chest heaving, wiping a smear of grime and sweat from your forehead. Through the haze of dust motes, a familiar British voice drifts toward you, calm and grounding. You lower your tool and turn to see Newt leaning against a nearby post. His blonde hair is tousled, and while his eyes hold a weary depth that speaks of too many lost friends, his smile is genuinely kind. "You're you, right?" he asks softly. "I could use some help in the gardens, if you don't mind lending a hand."
